⭐️ Live-in pet and house sitting across select areas of Sydney, the Illawarra and the NSW Central Coast.
The pet staycation experience
Only the best experiences on the itinerary.
The same as yesterday. The same as tomorrow.
Local attractions
The dog park. The footpath. That particularly sniffy patch of grass.
Five-star dining
Served in their favourite bowl, at their exact meal time (and not a minute after).
Luxury accommodation
The couch. Their bed. Your bed. That sunny spot that keeps moving around the house.
staycations made for your pet
We get to know your pet's unique personality.
Some pets insist on bringing their favourite ball on every walk. Others have a very particular spot on the couch. And some have strong opinions about when dinner should be served.
At Pet Staycation Club, we take the time to understand your pet's routines, personality, and all the funny little things that make your pet so delightfully, well, them.
What to expect
Great company. Great care.
Looking after someone’s best friend is a responsibility we take seriously. From the first hello to the final farewell, we make sure every staycation feels familiar, comfortable and wonderfully uneventful (in all the right ways).
- 01
First, we say hello.
We’ll arrange a meet and greet, either in person or via video call, to get to know you and your pet. We’ll talk through their routines, personality, favourite activities and anything else we should know.
- 02
We make ourselves at home.
While you’re away, your pet stays in the comfort of their own home, with familiar routines, favourite activities and plenty of company. We follow your instructions and take the time to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for.
- 03
We send news from the club.
You’ll receive photos and updates throughout the stay, so you can see how your very important pet is getting on. Whether that’s a game in the garden, a walk at their favourite spot or another well-earned nap.
- 04
Everything’s ready for your return.
We’ll leave your home tidy, your pet happy and everything just as you left it, so you can come back to a relaxed pet and a welcoming home.

About
Hi, I’m Brooke.
I love getting to know animals and all their funny little personalities. The frisbee-obsessed ones. The shy ones. The ones who follow you into every room, just in case something interesting happens.
I'm the founder of Pet Staycation Club, where I provide personalised pet and house sitting across select areas of Sydney, the Illawarra and the Central Coast.
I take the time to get to know every pet, their routines and their favourite things, so they can enjoy all the comforts of home while you're away.
Services
Everything they love. Nothing they need to pack.
Your pets stay right where they’re happiest — at home. Their days will remain excitingly familiar, their routines kept running, and their favourite hotspots visited. Just the way they like it.

For the humans
Enjoy your holiday. We’ll enjoy ours. At home.
There’s something lovely about knowing your pet is happy in their own home while you’re away. No unfamiliar kennels. No anxiety at the change of scenery.
Just their usual life at home, doing all their favourite things while hanging with a fun new human.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
Everything you might be wondering before your very important pet joins the club.
Plan a staycationI look after pets in their own homes across select areas of Sydney, the Illawarra and the NSW Central Coast.
Staycations start from $95 per night, which includes your first pet (if you have a dog and a cat, the cat is included). For additional pets: Each extra dog is $15 a night, and each extra cat is $10 a night. Additional care needs, such as puppy or kitten care, medication or separation anxiety, may add to the cost. We'll talk these through at our meet and greet and confirm any extra costs in your personalised quote.
It's more than having someone stay in your home while you're away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities, routines and funny little ways. Every staycation is tailored to your pet, with plenty of good company, familiar activities and thoughtful care. And because I work remotely, I'm able to spend lots of time at home with them. The result? A happy pet enjoying their usual life, and a human who can properly enjoy their holiday.
Yes, Pet Staycation Club is a live-in pet-sitting service. Your pet stays in their own familiar home, and I stay overnight to provide care and company throughout their staycation.
Yes, the minimum stay is 6 nights, and longer holidays are preferred.
Overnight company, their usual walks and adventures, meals, treats and medication on their normal routine, plenty of play and cuddles, photo updates, and your home cared for, with plants watered and mail collected.
I work remotely, so I'm able to spend plenty of time at home with your pet. There'll be lots of company, walks, playtime and time to relax together. I also have my usual daily activities, so we'll discuss how long your pet is comfortable being left alone during our meet and greet. That way, I can make sure their needs and routine are a good fit.
Yes. The club welcomes dogs and cats, and households with more than one pet. Just add everyone who's staying when you enquire.
I'm happy to discuss medication and additional care requirements. I'll ask about your pet's needs before confirming the booking to make sure I can provide the care they require. Additional care may add to the cost of the stay. We'll talk through your pet's needs at our meet and greet and confirm any extra costs in your personalised quote.
Yes! You'll get some photo updates and messages throughout the stay, so you can see what they've been up to and actually relax on your holiday.
Start by telling us about your pet and your preferred dates using the enquiry form. I'll review the details, confirm availability and send you a personalised quote. We'll then arrange a meet and greet, either in person or via video call, to make sure it's a great fit for everyone. Once we're both happy to go ahead, we'll confirm the booking.
