Dog Sitters Australia

A dog sitter cares for your dog while you're away, either at the sitter's home (boarding) or at your home (house sitting). They feed, walk and spend time with your dog, following your dog's usual routine.

On PetCloud, dog boarding at a sitter's home costs from $45 to $85 a night per pet, house sitting from $45 a night, and doggy day care from $45 a day. Sitters set their own prices, shown on each listing.

Overnight care costs from $45 a night on PetCloud, and day care from $45 a day. Fair prices cover the sitter's time, travel, clean-up, fuel, tax and super, so value their time when you compare.

Yes. Many sitters on PetCloud take long stays. Mention your dates in your job post, and ask about a discount, as sitters are more likely to offer one for long stays and repeat bookings.

House sitting suits dogs that settle best at home, older dogs and multi-pet households. Boarding at a sitter's home suits dogs that enjoy company and a change of scene.

Post a job on PetCloud with your dates and your dog's needs, and available dog sitters in your area apply. Compare their listings and reviews from confirmed bookings, then arrange a meet and greet.

Core vaccinations are expected for dogs. Annual boosters aren't required to book, but check each sitter's listing for any extra requirements.

You pay when you confirm the booking. Your payment is held securely and released to the sitter after your 24-hour quality check window at the end of the booking.

Sign up as a pet sitter on PetCloud, create your listing, set your own rates and complete your verifications. Sitters on PetCloud are independent contractors who choose the jobs they take.

Walk through your home and yard with your dog sitter at the meet and greet using PetCloud's free Property Safety Checklist, created with a veterinarian. It covers fences, gates, gaps, hazards and escape routes, so you both agree the property is safe and escape-proof before the stay.
