Pet minding - RSPCA Darwin Regional Branch

Pet minding

Pet sitting or house sitting is someone caring for a pet in its own home while the owner is away. Dog boarding is caring for pets in the sitter’s own home and is usually overnight – or doggie daycare.

Introducing Petcloud

PetCloud is a website where pet owners can search a national network of trusted pet sitters who offer pet care services in their own home, or yours. Part-owned by RSPCA Queensland, a portion of the profits are returned to RSPCA Darwin. 

The Advantages of PetCloud Pet Sitting (over other petcare options):

  • Pets are happier and experience less stress in a home environment.
  • Diet and exercise routines are continued.
  • Travel trauma for the pet is minimised.
  • Pet exposure to illness is minimised.

Pet owners often use pet sitters when they go on holiday, travel for business, work long hours or are too sick or injured to care for their pet(s). Petsitters set their own prices on PetCloud and offer a variety of services.
