Take a Peek

PetPlaces has some fantastic and usefull resources for those travelling with pets or looking for someone to look after their pets while they are away.
The major areas that members have access to are:

Sitters Directory

The pet sitters directory allows members to find pet sitters anywhere around Australia. Members have the option of searching by the following means: You are on the go and have arrived in a place where there is an attraction you would really like to visit but no pets are allowed, or you are planning your holiday and know in advance that you will visit a specific area and at some point will need some “free” time while there.

With our easy to use, advanced search system you can look via state for a specific town or just search an area. You can even search via main tourist attractions. Any sitters found there or in the surrounding area will then be displayed. You can then click on a particular listing to check out the complete details; a comprehensive listing letting you know things like whether they have pets of their own, whether “guests” are allowed inside and any requirements or conditions they might have.

Members can also post reviews and read other members' reviews of any of the pet sitters.

Contact details are also included and the earlier you can talk or correspond with the sitter the better.

PetPlaces does NOT take any bookings. Any arrangements made and costs involved are strictly between the member and sitter; PetPlaces is purely the provider of information.

Pet Friendly Caravan Parks Directory

The same advanced search system available for the Sitters Directory is used here. That means you can again search via state and town, area, or also in the vicinity of tourist attractions.

All parks have a basic listing stating address and contact information. Some of these will have opted to add an expanded listing with more detailed information. Again we encourage members to post their comments to the individual listings so that all members can benefit from each other’s experiences.

Please note that although all parks have informed PetPlaces that they accept pets they still do so at their discretion therefore we suggest contacting the parks in advance to avoid disappointment. PetPlaces cannot guarantee acceptance.

At this point we are only catering for travellers with their own accommodation such as caravans, motor homes and tents. Although many of these parks may also have cabins or on-site vans, it does not automatically mean that pets are also allowed in these facilities.

House Sit/Swap Classifieds

The house sit/swap classifieds allow members to place FREE classifieds when looking for someone to swap their house with or someone to look after their pets and home while they are away.

This is a great way for people from all over the country to plan their holidays and ensure their pets and home are well looked after.
