Cat care services in Perth

Cat Boarding

Your cat stays overnight in a quiet, cat-safe Perth home. Cool-climate rooms, shaded gardens, and one-on-one attention — no kennels. Perth homes are ideal for calm overnight boarding.

In-Home Cat Sitting

A sitter stays in your Perth home while you travel. Your cat keeps their territory, their routine, and their favourite ocean-breeze windowsill.

Cat care tips for Perth

Keeping your cat safe through Perth's long, hot, dry summers

Extreme summer heat

Perth regularly records some of Australia's highest summer temperatures, often exceeding 40°C for multiple consecutive days. Ensure sitters keep air conditioning running, blinds closed during peak heat, and water bowls refreshed every few hours.

Dehydration in a dry climate

Western Australia's dry heat can dehydrate cats quickly without obvious signs. Ask sitters to provide multiple water points, consider a cat water fountain, and monitor for lethargy or reduced food intake as early warning signs.

Bushfire smoke and air quality

Perth and surrounding areas can be affected by bushfire smoke, particularly in summer and autumn. If your cat has any respiratory sensitivity, ask sitters to keep windows closed on smoky days and monitor for coughing or laboured breathing.

Snake safety in suburban gardens

Perth's suburban gardens can attract venomous snakes, particularly tiger snakes and dugites. If your cat has any outdoor access, brief the sitter on safe garden protocols and ensure they know the location of your nearest emergency vet.

Cat sitting in Perth

Perth is one of the most isolated major cities in the world — and its residents have a deep appreciation for home and community, including their pets. The city's Mediterranean climate brings long dry summers and mild winters, creating a comfortable environment for indoor cats for much of the year. Summer, however, demands careful attention: Perth regularly records the highest temperatures of any Australian capital city.

Petme connects Perth cat owners with verified local sitters who understand the city's unique climate demands. Whether your cat needs boarding in a cool Subiaco home during a heatwave, a daily check-in from a Fremantle sitter during your overseas trip, or an experienced in-home sitter while you visit the east coast over summer, Petme makes it easy to find someone you genuinely trust.

Every Petme booking includes A$20,000 in veterinary expense coverage. No booking fees, no hidden charges. Just caring, verified Perth sitters who treat your cat exactly as they would their own.
