Your pet's home away from home.

Going away shouldn't mean worrying about your pet. Our police-checked sitters open their homes — and their hearts — to give your furry family member the love, routine, and attention they need while you're gone. You'll get daily photo updates so you can relax knowing they're happy.

How it works

1

Choose your dates

Tell us when you're heading away and share your pet's profile — their personality, routine, diet, and anything that makes them feel safe. The more we know, the better the match.

2

We match your pet

This is what makes PetHero different. We don't show you a search grid — we hand-pick a verified sitter whose home, experience, and personality are the right fit for your specific pet.

3

Drop off & relax

Bring your pet's bed, favourite toy, and food. Your sitter will welcome them in and send you a photo within the first hour so you can see them settling in.

4

Daily updates

Every day you'll receive multiple photos, feeding confirmations, walk logs, and notes about how your pet is doing. It's like having a window into their day — without the separation anxiety (yours, not theirs).

What's included

Dedicated sleeping area

Every pet gets their own comfortable sleeping spot — not a shared kennel. Bring their bed, blanket, or crate from home. Familiar scents help them settle in fast, and our sitters make sure their space is quiet and safe.

24/7 supervision

Our sitters live in the home with your pet around the clock. There's no 'lights off, see you tomorrow' — your pet has company day and night. If they wake at 3am needing a toilet break, someone's there.

Daily photo updates

You'll receive photos throughout the day — not just one obligatory snap. Expect candid shots of naps, play sessions, meal times, and adventures. Plus a written daily summary of their mood, appetite, and activity.

Medication management

Whether it's a daily tablet, ear drops, or insulin injections — we match pets who need medication with sitters experienced in giving it. Share your vet's instructions during booking and we'll follow them to the letter.

Play & exercise

Every day includes walks, backyard play, enrichment activities, and socialisation appropriate to your pet's energy level. High-energy Border Collie? Extra runs. Senior Cavoodle? Gentle strolls and couch time. We tailor everything.

Emergency vet plan

Every sitter carries your vet's details plus the nearest 24/7 emergency hospital's. If your pet needs urgent care, your sitter knows exactly where to go — and you're contacted immediately. No delays, no panic.

Police-checked

Every sitter has a verified national police check before accepting bookings.

Hand-matched

We match your pet based on breed experience, home environment, and personality — not just availability.

Daily updates

Receive photos and messages throughout the stay so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

Common questions

What does overnight sitting include?
Your pet moves into the sitter's home for the duration of your trip. They get their own dedicated sleeping area, meals served on their regular schedule, daily walks and play sessions, 24/7 human companionship, and medication management if needed. You'll receive daily photo updates and activity logs through the PetHero app. It's like a holiday for your pet — just with more belly rubs and fewer suitcases.
Can I bring my pet's bed and toys?
We absolutely encourage it — in fact, we recommend it. Bringing your pet's bed, a worn t-shirt that smells like you, their favourite toy, and their regular food makes a massive difference. Familiar scents reduce anxiety and help your pet feel at home faster — and your sitter sends a photo within the first hour so you can see them settling in.
What if my pet needs medication?
Yes — during booking you'll share your pet's medication schedule, dosage, and vet details through our secure form, and we'll match you with a sitter experienced in giving medication: oral tablets, liquid medications, topical treatments, ear and eye drops, even insulin injections. You'll get photo updates and messages from your sitter throughout the stay, so you always know how things are going.
What's your cancellation policy?
We get it — plans change. Cancel more than 48 hours before check-in for a full refund. Between 24 and 48 hours you're refunded 50%, and within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable — that compensates the sitter who blocked their calendar for you. If your sitter cancels for any reason, you always receive a full refund. Need to extend a stay instead? Just message us and we'll coordinate with your sitter — availability permitting, extensions are usually seamless.
Can I book for multiple pets?
Absolutely — and it's one of our most popular requests! Additional pets from the same household are just $10 per night each. Most of our sitters can accommodate 2-3 pets comfortably, and siblings who stay together tend to settle in even faster. Let us know during booking so we can match you with a sitter whose home is set up for multiple pets — think separate feeding stations, enough sleeping spots, and a secure yard.
