PetCloud guides Pet Owners with helpful interview questions and a video on how to have a Meet and greet with a Pet Sitter and conduct a Property Safety Check with the Sitter prior to a booking proceeding. By the end of this process you should have enough information to determine whether that person’s schedule, experience, and property is suitable for your pet. Or, whether another Sitter on the platform might be more suitable.
When it comes to overnight care, the PetCloud platform helps you find Pet Sitters who offer home-based pet boarding, where your pet will go to stay in their home. Or, House Sitters, where the Sitter will come to stay in a spare Guest bedroom in your home.

Pet Sitters on PetCloud set their own prices. The average cost to book a pet sitter in Lysterfield South on PetCloud as of May 2025 is about $45 per night, which includes PetCloud’s platform fee, their own super, tax, and budget for time off.

"This was our first experience booking a housesitter with petcloud. Narida was 2.5 hours late to our meet and greet, explaining she was late because a previous petcloud client was complaining to her and she needed to sort that out. She then explained that she was scared to drive to our house on her own and left us no real choice but to accept her having her boyfriend stay with her also. Just before we left I messaged to confirm she was coming in the next couple of hours and she had the wrong dates written down. I sent her the screenshot of the booking she had agreed to, so she agreed to come that night. She then texted late that evening saying she had to go home as one of her own dogs was injured. She then had commitments on one of the days, so we had no choice but to accept she wouldn’t be present for one of the days of house sitting. Narida appears to have vacuumed, which is nice- but there appears to be no sign that anyone has stayed here. Our neighbours have confirmed that a car popped in and out throughout the long weekend, but did not stay overnight, which Narida disputes. It’s hard to know if she did in fact stay out our house as she was paid to, and claims she did- but 2 different neighbours say that she didn’t. Disappointing, considering the great reviews she has on here. I’d hoped we had found a great pet sitter to use ongoing. At least our animals were fed and looked after while we were away- even if it wasn’t the ‘housesitting’ that we booked."

"James has made the PetCloud experience so comfortable and a breeze. Not only was he a genuinely lovely professional and reassuring person with excellent communication and responds to your queries at all times, his natural love and care instantly for my puppy showed that he genuinely loves minding pets. It was so nice to see my puppy happy when he arrived there and the same when I picked him up. He loved it there, especially having a companion Bella! Thank you James for making our first PetCloud experience a great one!"
