Recent Pet Care reviews in Canberra
Shivali did a great job looking after my ducks for the last four days. She made sure they were locked up in the coop at night, and had fresh water and food. Shivali was great at communicating with me and I would definitely ask Shivali to do tasks again in the future. Thanks so much!

I hired Dennis to help my dad take down some Christmas lights. It was not an easy job. Up and down ladders and he got the job done in no time! Both my mum and dad were great and impressed with his work and manner. Thanks again for your help Dennis!

What do pet care services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets or animals - they can also help with boarding, companionship, and exercise. Importantly, they can help you look after your pet if you’re unable to or if you’ll be away. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or someone to help you take care of a puppy when you're at work, Airtasker can connect you with the right professionals.Â
Here are a range of pet services available to help with your beloved animals:
Pet sitting & boarding
Most pet owners consider boarding kennels for their pets when they’re heading away overnight or for an extended period, but your pet can also stay in your home or in the home of a registered pet sitter. Some pet boarding services also offer a day care service for those pets that don’t like to be left alone during the day. At a pet boarding service, your pet will receive food, exercise, and comfortable bedding as well as the company of people and dogs around them. There may also be music and air conditioning in some places. Or if you choose a dog, reptile boarding, or cat sitting service, your pet can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their routine with a dedicated pet sitter in your own place. This is especially helpful for anxious pets or those needing constant supervision.
Dog walking & exercise
If you’re working long hours or heading away on holiday, dog walking services can help your pooch get their daily workout to keep them happy and healthy. During the walk, they’ll burn off energy and ward off feelings of boredom and restlessness when they’re back home alone. You can book dog walking as a one-off or regular service, and your dog may be walked with others if it’s comfortable with socialisation. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes to an hour before bringing them safely back into your home or yard.
Washing & grooming
Washing and grooming are necessary for every pet’s health and well-being. Specialised pet grooming (including cat grooming and dog grooming) services are equipped to bathe your pet with minimal mess and fuss. Your pet groomer will wash and dry your pet’s coat, clip fur, trim nails, and administer any pest treatments in a single appointment. You’ll likely need to book pet grooming around once a month, ensuring you brush your pet’s fur to keep it clear of dirt between appointments.
Dog training
Getting help with dog training can be the quickest way to a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training will help to improve your dog’s behaviours such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialise with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enrol their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behaviour early on.

Temporary care for my Dog
$80
Campbell ACT, Australia
24th Oct 2025
I’m looking for a kind, reliable person to care for my German Shepherd cross on a temporary basis until I find him a suitable new home. There’s no set timeframe — it may be a few weeks or a bit longer, depending on when the right home becomes available. He’s a beautiful boy — loyal, affectionate, and protective — but he needs to be the only dog in the home and isn’t suited to households with small children. Food and essentials can be provided, or we can agree on a weekly rate that’s fair for both of us. If you have a secure yard, experience with large dogs, and can offer a calm, loving space while we find his forever home, please get in touch 💛 Thank you!
