Purr-fectly Reliable: 5 Best Pet Sitters in Adelaide

Tracy’s Pet Services is especially recommendable for those looking for all-around pet sitting services. They provide services such as dog walking, pet daycare, pet visits, and pet transport.

They are one of the most experienced pet sitters in Adelaide, with more than 10 years in the business.

Their staff is notable for being great in updating owners regarding the status of their pets. Plus, many clients appreciate how warm and affectionate they are to pets, which helps in putting the animals at ease. 

They’re comfortable with almost any dog or cat breed and familiar with breed-specific diseases and conditions too. 

It also helps that they provide service as far as 15 km from Adelaide CBD. It’s especially helpful for those who need in-home pet sitting. 

They also go the extra mile by taking pictures of pets, watering house plants, and bringing free treats for the pets.

That said, a downside to the service is that it’s expensive. Also, they only have one pet sitter assigned for North Eastern Adelaide (versus 7 sitters for Eastern Adelaide)

Little Rascals is a great choice for dog owners because they have a good track record for dog sitting.

They can even handle dogs with unpredictable or irritable temperaments, and they’ve handled different breeds without issues too. 

It’s great that they only accept a set number of dogs in their daycare to ensure that each one gets optimal space for exercise and interaction. 

Speaking of space, it’s worth noting how well they’re able to maintain their dog daycare. It’s clean and well-ventilated and has plenty of toys.

Many clients also praised them for ensuring that each pet is given adequate individual attention. Many said that their dogs became friendlier and more social after staying in their daycare. 

If there are downsides to them, one is that they have limited slots. Another is that they don’t accept cats. 

Adelaide Pet Sitters is one of the best pet sitters in Adelaide because they accept not just dogs and cats but also frogs, fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, and more. 

In addition, their sitters have certifications, police clearance, and insurance. 

One of the best signs of the quality of their service is their membership in the Pet Industry Association (PIAA). They’re regularly audited to ensure that the quality of their care is on par with regulatory requirements. 

Many clients commended their team’s deep knowledge when it comes to handling pets of different breeds. They easily understand instructions for medicine, behavioral issues, and more. 

They provide services to many areas, including most suburbs in Eastern and Northern Adelaide. They also offer many slots for pet sitting and accept last-minute calls. 

A downside with their service, though, is that they’ve had cases of missing calls from multiple clients. Also, their fees are a bit pricey.

West Adelaide Pet Sitters’ is especially notable for its owner Kylie Gibson’s ease with handling pets of different temperaments. 

One client particularly praised how she was able to easily take care of her shy rescue cat. Kylie made sure to respect the space of the cat while slowly gaining its trust.

In addition, it’s great how she’s able to regularly update owners about how their pet is being taken care of. She sometimes goes live on Facebook and Instagram to show the pets’ status. 

She also takes care of many types of pets including rabbits, turtles, and fish. She’s knowledgeable when it comes to pet first aid too. 

That said, one downside I’ve seen is that she is a one-man team, meaning that her operating hours and slots are limited. 

Also, she mostly provides service in West Adelaide and areas nearby. 

“Don’t Fret Pet!” Adelaide has a different approach to dog sitting where pets are taken care of in the homes of the pet sitters themselves. This allows them to provide more personalized attention.

They are well-trained and carefully screened (with police clearance and insurance) to ensure that they’re qualified. 

In addition, having dog minders across many parts of Adelaide makes it easier to find one closer to the client’s home. This lessens the stress of travel for the pets.

The company is also notable for having more than 25 years of providing dog sitting services. They’ve created a large network of dog sitters, which allows them to offer many slots.

You can also book and view their available slots through their website. This simplifies the process and allows you to make last-minute bookings. 

If there’s a downside to them, however, one is that their fees are a bit pricey. Another one is that they only pet sit dogs.
