Recent Dog Care reviews

We had an amazing experience with this lovely couple looking after our dog for about 10 days. We got photo and video updates daily and communication was tops. Our pooch was happy and safe and well looked after. We're so glad that we picked them to take care of our doggy. We'll definitely ask them again in the future.

Top Dog Care related questions

In most cases, no. The dog care service specialists you hire already have the appropriate tools and equipment for the job. They also have the requisite skills and some have years of experience in caring for dogs, so there’s no need to provide them with any tools or equipment. The only items you may want to provide are your dog’s favourite treats, toys or blanket to help keep them calm and more comfortable with your hired dog care specialist.

That depends on which services you hired. Dog grooming can take at least an hour; this may take longer if your precious pooch isn’t used to grooming, and the groomer has to go slow and allow your dog to calm down. Dog sitting or dog boarding depends on how many days you booked the services. Dog training may take several sessions a few minutes per day over a week or two, depending on the tricks you have them learn. 

Absolutely. If you offer grooming, sitting, boarding or other services catering to canines, you can hire a Tasker to help. The trick is to make a post with all the crucial details to attract the most suitable Taskers. You’ll find that you can hire Taskers for almost any handyman type of job, even related ones like house sitting and pet door installation. The right post can get you interested, capable Taskers in minutes. Try it for yourself!

You can do some research via online search engines, or better yet, make a detailed post on Airtasker. Instead of poring through several websites which may or may not have customer ratings or reviews and not have your inquiries replied to quickly enough, you can use our platform. You can see reviews and ratings on potential dog boarding services to hire, and they can speak to you if you have any questions. Use Airtasker so that trustworthy dog carers can find you!

An in-home pet sitter is a good option if you hesitate to have your precious pup in a new and unfamiliar environment. Dog boarding houses or pet hotels may not be advisable if your dog is anxious around strangers. An in-home pet sitter is a good alternative as your dog only needs to get acquainted with one other person. They don’t have to leave the familiar environment of their own home and are less likely to become stressed.

That can depend on what you agree upon with your hired dog sitter. While some dog sitters make this part of their service, not all of them will take on more tasks than you’ve contracted them to do. To ensure that you get the kind of care and services you want for your dog, be specific with your needs and discuss them with the dog sitter you want to hire.

What do dog care services include?

Dog care services include a range of different services to maintain delivered by expert dog carers to ensure your precious pup’s well-being. This service can consist of grooming, sitting, training, or boarding your dog - they can be booked singly or in any appropriate combination.  

Dog grooming

This is a service that’s not only about keeping or restoring your dog’s appearance. Grooming is also about your dog’s hygiene and overall health, especially if they are longhaired breeds. Most longhaired dogs eventually have problems with overgrown fur clumping up and accumulating dirt and other debris. 

Matted hair must be removed as these clumps of fur are not only unsightly but can prove uncomfortable or painful for your dog. You can hire dog groomers to come to your home and provide your dog’s grooming needs; this can include thorough brushing of their fur, trimming overgrown hair and nails and bathing and drying your dog. 

Dog sitting

When you need to be away from home and don’t have anyone to watch your pet, this is an essential service. This is especially helpful when you need to be away from home suddenly because you can book the service on short notice. 

An expert dog sitter can go to your home to spend some time with your dog, feed them and clean up after they eat. Dog sitters can also keep them company. You may book this as overnight dog care, or as a daily service provided until your return. 

Dog Boarding

Another option to ensure your dog is cared for an overnight while you’re away is to take them to a dog boarding facility. This is an excellent service to book when you prefer having your pup in a more social environment. 

They can stay in a safe, warm and friendly environment with other animals and remain in the company of expert dog carers for longer. Some dog boarding facilities can give your dog their medications if they have issues or are seniors for an additional fee. 

Dog training

When you want to modify your dog’s behaviour and make him more obedient and calm or perform tricks for entertainment, you can book a dog trainer. Dog trainers can teach your dog to respond to your verbal commands or do other more impressive tricks like standing and walking on their hind legs, fetching items, rollover or other tricks your dog trainer can teach them.

Byron Bay NSW, Australia

22nd Apr 2025

We are looking for an experienced and caring dog sitter to look after our Italian Greyhound and Whippet puppy when we travel. Both dogs are very much part of the family and require attention, affection, and a lot of indoor time. Key Requirements: • Genuine love for dogs — especially sensitive breeds like Italian Greyhounds and Whippets. • Previous dog sitting experience with references. • Must be willing to keep the dogs indoors (they are not outdoor or kennel dogs — they sleep inside with the family). • Ability to provide regular companionship, gentle handling, and ensure their routines are maintained. • Basic understanding of sighthound traits and needs (they are sensitive, affectionate, and require soft, kind treatment). Other Details: • The dogs are clean, house-trained, and very affectionate. • They require short supervised outdoor breaks and plenty of indoor cuddles. • Ideally looking for someone available for future bookings as needed (not just one time). • Location: ideally Byron based or within 20mins If you’re a true dog lover with proven experience and are happy to treat them as part of your family while we’re away, we’d love to hear from you! Please send through your experience, references, and a little bit about yourself

Aranda ACT 2614, Australia

8th Feb 2025

**I need someone to drop into my place in Aranda for a few hours each day from Mon 10th - Fri 14th to hang with my dog Sooty** The offered $$ is for the total five visits (one each day). Sooty has recently had some health issues. He's doing a lot better now but I don't feel comfortable leaving him alone for a full days. Unfortunately I have a big work week from mon 10th - fri 14th and will need to work from the office. I'm hoping to find someone who can drop in to my place in Aranda and spend at least a few hours (ideally 2 at minimim) with Soot each day between 10am - 4pm. No walks required, but I've been giving him some chicken in water to encourage him to drink as he's still a bit nauseous so you may need to do that if he doesn't start drinking more on his own over the weekend (I'll update you!). I also have a cat - she doesn't need anything and is very chill. I am in a cosy garden flat in Aranda with internet and tv etc. Sooty is a friendly, large mix breed dog. He mostly just needs passive company.

I highly recommend Natasha - she is an amazing communicator, professional, reliable, and friendly. She followed all my (slightly bizarre!) instructions for looking after my unwell & anxious dog with absolute ease and even dropped in ahead of the scheduled task to meet him. I really appreciated her updates throughout the week. Natasha is clearly great with animals and I would trust her with my pets and home any time. Thanks again!

Pagewood NSW, Australia

4th Feb 2025

Overnight dog sitting for a 3 year old Pomeranian x jack Russel at a townhouse in Pagewood. Roughly 12pm Saturday (8/2) to 3pm Sunday (9/2). All he needs is to be let out in the back garden for the toilet every couple of hours and some biscuits for dinner and breakfast. (I will walk him before I leave) He likes to bark when he first meets someone, but after about 30 minutes he will love you and give you lots of kisses and sleep right next to you. You will have access to all amenities in the house for the duration of your stay. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions :)

Jin was very professional and caring. Would highly recommend her.
