Who are PetCloud?

PetCloud is an Australian, 5 year old, national company and part owned by RSPCA Qld. PetCloud’s mission is about making responsible pet care easy. We have an excellent reputation and high standard of care.

What does a Pet Sitter do?

Pet sitters are responsible for all basic animal care while their clients are on vacation or traveling for business. Routine duties include:

• Daily Feeding, putting out fresh water every morning and evening & scrubbing bowls

• Brushing pets

• Taking dogs on walks, and providing exercise through play

• Cleaning litter boxes

• Additional services may include giving medications, vacuuming up pet hair in the house, or collecting the client's mail or newspaper

• Pet sitters are also responsible for notifying owners and taking pets to the vet if they should become sick or suffer an injury while under their supervision

Where can I get training to become a Pet Sitter?

With the help of RSPCA Vets, PetCloud has created the most reputable Accredited Pet Sitting course in Australia. We equip you with skills to be assertive, recognise potential risks, and handle situations, give you the confidence to understand the standard of care the RSPCA expects & become in-demand in your area.

How much money can I make as a Pet Sitter?

The price of Pet Sitting per night can be on par with a luxury Hotel booking. How? Say for instance, you see a month long house sitting job for 2 dogs and a cat.  If you offer extras to the owner, during the meet & greet, such as walking the 2 dogs x3 days a week during the booking. Your total booking price really starts to increase. For example:

Core Service:

House Sitting for 31 nights @ $51pn = $1550.

Plus Extras:

x2 dogs being walked 3 days per week for 4 weeks = $40 x 12 = $480

Total: $2,030 Wow!!

Do Pet Sitters need Insurance?

Insurance is already included in every booking under PetCloud’s insurance policy and PetCloud retains a percentage when we pay you at the end of the stay. So no, you don’t need to buy additional insurance.  Insurance is important so that you or the Pet Owner isn’t hit with large Veterinary bills in the event of a pet accident during a pet stay.
