Dog Meal Prep / Cooking Assistance Needed (Brighton, Melbourne)

$120

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

14th Jun 2026

Looking for someone to assist with preparing cooked meals for my dog. My vet has provided a meal plan with specific ingredients and food groups. I will provide the recipes, portion guidelines and instructions. I'm very flexible and easygoing about exact measurements - I just need someone who can follow the recipe and prepare healthy meals containing the required ingredients. The task would involve: • Cooking meals in batches • Portioning into individual containers • Storing appropriately for fridge/freezer I can either: • Arrange groceries to be delivered directly to you via Coles/Woolworths • Reimburse grocery costs • Work out another arrangement that suits I'm based in Brighton (3186). Ideally meals would be prepared in your own kitchen. I can collect if you're within approximately 20km of Brighton, arrange an Uber Parcel pickup, or delivery would be amazing if possible. This may become an ongoing arrangement for the right person. Please let me know your location, availability, preferences around grocery options etc & delivery, pick up etc and any other relevant information. Please ensure your offer includes all costs & the day/ date you are available. Note: grocery cost separate as outlined above. Thank you!

Dog Meal Prep / Cooking Help Needed - Brighton, Melbourne

$150

Brighton VIC, Australia

28th May 2026

Looking for someone efficient, reliable and food-safe to help with cooking / meal prepping meals for my dog Sparky over the next day or two while he’s unwell and awaiting surgery. I have a vet-provided meal plan/recipe guide that I’ll provide, but I’m honestly not super strict or intense about exact measurements as long as the ingredients/food groups are covered properly. Happy for you to use the portions/weights as more of a guideline rather than being overly rigid with it. What I’m needing: - Cooking/preparing the meals - Portioning into individual containers/meals - Ideally enough meals prepared for several days at a time - Basic cleanliness/food safety standards in your kitchen I can: - Organise groceries delivered directly to your house via Coles/Woolworths online order - Reimburse grocery costs if easier - Supply meal containers if needed (or reimburse these too) - Pick up from you if within approx. 20km of Brighton, VIC 3186 - Organise an Uber Parcel pickup if easier - Ideally would love delivery to Brighton if possible Timing: Ideally hoping this could be done today, but tomorrow is completely okay too. Sparky is a very loved Staffy x Border Collie and just needs some extra care right now while I juggle work/life chaos haha. Please message me with: - Your location/suburb - Availability - Any experience with meal prep/cooking/pets - Your quote/price Thank you so much!

It would be great if this could become a regular weekly arrangement. Budget: $150–$200 per session depending on experience. If this sounds like you, please reach out and let me know about your cooking experience. Thanks!

Regular Meal Prep – Healthy, Allergen-Friendly Cooking for Busy Couple

$5

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

21st Jun 2025

Hi, we’re Aaron & Zoe — a busy working couple who love good food but don’t have time to cook during the week. We’re looking for someone who enjoys preparing clean, flavourful meals and can help keep us well-fed and on track. We’re after 5 different meals per week (10x portions each = 20 serves total) to cover our weekday dinners and lunches. Meals can be cooked in our home or delivered — we’re flexible. We both have dietary needs that must be strictly followed: • Coeliac (strictly gluten-free) • Milk allergy (no dairy or animal milks/products) • Low fructans (no onion, garlic, asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) • Low fructose (no honey, HFCS, apple, pear, mango, melon, etc.) ✅ Garlic- and onion-infused oil is fine ❌ Please avoid high-fructan legumes like baked beans, red kidney beans, black beans, and split peas ✅ Ingredients like firm tofu, canned lentils (rinsed), and canned chickpeas (rinsed) are okay Meals should be portioned individually — Zoe eats smaller serves than Aaron. We’ll provide glass containers with wooden or BPA-free lids. We enjoy variety — favourites include stir-fries, herb-roasted proteins with veg, tamari beef bowls, satay chicken, Asian noodles, and tray bakes. We’re happy to collaborate on weekly menus and will shop from Coles/Woolworths/Aldi with a list from you. Any specialty items can be sourced separately. Open to weekly or fortnightly prep with freezing to save time and cost. No set day required. Please share your experience, food style, and estimated pricing. We look forward to working with someone who enjoys making food that fuels people. Warmly, Aaron & Zoe Example dishes we enjoy: •Basil Chicken Stirfry with Capsicum, Carrot & Jasmine Rice •Beef & Broccoli Stirfry with Tamari and Black Rice •Lemon Herb Roast Chicken Thighs with Pumpkin & Broccolini •Pork Carnitas Bowl with Quinoa, Capsicum & Guacamole •Dill & Lemon Baked Salmon with Sweet Potato Mash & Beans •Ginger Prawn Stirfry, Mexican Beef Bowls, Asian Noodle Dishes

Home cooking

Brighton VIC, Australia

Hello, We are a family of four with two very young children - 3yo and 19mo. We are full time workers, with very little, if any, time left for cooking in a week. We are after a family friendly cook who can help us strike the right balance between fussy eating and healthy eating. We also find that a lot of money gets wasted on food in our household. So managing to take our food budget that little bit further and make sure that what is bought is actually used in some sort of cooking that would be amazing too! Very happy to buy the ingredients as long as we can have someone to cook for us weekly. Come meet us for a 30min discussion about what an ongoing cooking plan may look like for our family, and we can take it from there. Looking forward to meeting you!
