Cat Sitter Needed. Pet Care while away

$500

Bradley was kind enough to visit my home for a few days to take my Pugalier Zac for a walk, play and feed him. He did an awesome job, Zac was in very good spirits upon my return and Brad would even text me each visit to let me know he was fine. Very reliable and caring person, would utilise Brads services anytime, cheers Leigh

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. 

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.

Quiet In-Home Supervision (Crate Rest) – Post-Surgery Dog

$120

Tanawha QLD, Australia

5th Feb 2026

Hours: 8:00am to 4:30pm I need a calm, focused person to supervise my dog’s recovery from surgery in Tanawha. She is on strict crate rest in the lounge room. This is a very low-maintenance task, ideal for someone working remotely or studying who wants a quiet change of scenery. ​The Role: ​Supervision: Maintain a low-energy, calm environment. ​Strict "No Excitement" Policy: No high-energy interaction or high-pitched voices. She must stay resting to heal. ​Medication: Administer one dose of tablets. She is easy to medicate, but tablets must be given by hand (not in food). ​Toilet breaks: Take her outside for very short, slow toilet breaks. She must stay on a lead at all times when out of the crate to prevent jumping/running. ​The Perks: ​Comfortable lounge room with high-speed Wi-Fi & Netflix. ​Coffee machine is all yours. ​You are encouraged to bring your laptop and treat this as your office for the day.

We would love some help with cleaning chicken run and coop area, and putting a few bags of sand into the run.

Can’t do it myself at the moment because we have a new baby

Great job, thank you

Bird Sitting – 23 Sept to 10 Oct

$100

Wurtulla QLD 4575, Australia

31st Aug 2025

Hi! I’m looking for someone to look after my two pet birds, Bobbie and Peppa, while I’m away from 23/09 – 10/10. They are super friendly, tame, and love spending time outside their cage when I’m home, so ideally I’d love to find someone comfortable letting them out to stretch their wings as well. What’s involved: Feeding and fresh water daily Letting them out of the cage for playtime A bit of company and interaction (they love attention!) General check that they’re happy and healthy They’re very easy to handle and make lovely little companions. I’m happy to bring their cage and food to you, or we can discuss what works best. If you’re an animal lover (especially with bird experience) and available over those dates, I’d love to hear from you!

Jacob did a great job! Definitely recommend him:)

hello! i’m looking for someone to take care of my doggie for a few hours tomorrow between about 8:30am to 11:30am!

We can drop her off and pick her up but please let me know if this sounds like something that could work for you. 😊

Noosa Heads QLD, Australia

16th Sep 2022

Hello, I was wandering if anyone living in Noosa heads would be available to pet sit my dog for half the day tomorrow (18/09/2022)? I plan to drop her off at 6.15am and try to collect her by 12pm. Her name is Mia and she's a sweet heart with people. It would be best if you don't have any pets because it takes time for them to know each other and this is a last minute request. - Due date: Needs to be done on Sunday, 18 September 2022

Thank you Ana for looking after Mia. You've done a great job and thank you for taking her to the beach. Wishing you safe travels and happiness while you stay here.
