Newcastle Dog Minding & Pet Sitting
Your dog stays in the home of a local dog lover while you’re away — not a kennel, not a cage. We do the matching for you, so you don’t have to spend hours searching for the right sitter. A premium service that gets it right 99% of the time.
Premium Newcastle Dog Minding & Pet Sitting Service
Your dog stays in the home of a carefully screened local minder — one-on-one care in a real home environment, not a kennel. Because we personally interview every minder, we know them well and choose the one best suited to your dog. Your minder has our 24/7 support throughout the stay, and your dog will be the only guest dog in their home.

The Newcastle Pet Sitting Service That Dog Owners Love
Make the planning stage of your upcoming holiday less stressful by taking advantage of our fantastic solution to ensure your dog receives the best pet sitting care whilst you’re away. “Don’t Fret Pet!” has a network of carefully-scrutinised people who love dog minding so much that they will welcome your dog into their home while you’re away.
As we know all of our dog minders really well, we do the matching for you to ensure that your dog is staying with the most suitable minder. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years so, with so much experience, we get the matching right 99% of the time.
In this sense, your best friend is getting a holiday as much as you are. This is so much less stressful for you, and your dog, than staying at a dog boarding kennel or being minded by a dog minder who has not been screened, may be minding multiple dogs and has no backup. We understand that dog owners would much rather their furry friend receive all of the love and care they are accustomed to at home. This is what created the idea for our Newcastle pet sitting network.

We have caring, fully-screened pet sitters available in many areas of Newcastle. Don’t leave your best friend in a cage in a dog boarding kennel or with an unsupported dog minder. Contact us on 1300 30 70 21 to have a chat about your dog’s needs or, if you are ready to arrange your dog’s holiday, you can go ahead and book online.
We also have lovely dog minders in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
