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.

Cat Groomer

$60

Redfern NSW, Australia

1st Apr 2025

Hello Looking for a cat groomer to give my old man a tidy up. He’s 18yo and reasonably placid. He’s started to get some matting around his hind area as he was shedding heaps at the end of summer but that’s stopped now and he doesn’t seem uncomfortable. I had a vet over to cut his nails and do an annual check up on the weekend and he said a quick groom would fix him up.

Gemma was great with my cat, really put him at ease and obviously cares about animals. Will definitely use again.

Pet Sitter Needed for Adorable Maltese Shih Tzu

$100

Sydney NSW, Australia

28th Mar 2025

We need a kind person to look after our small and friendly Maltese Shih Tzu from April 11th to 14th. He loves being around people, kids, and other dogs. He's small (under 6kg), loves sitting on laps, or just staying close to someone. He’s a great listener, very well-behaved, and so easy to care for that you'll hardly notice he's there! It would be perfect if you live near Ultimo or the city, making it easy for us to drop him off and pick him up. Alternatively, you can pick him up on the morning of the 11th and bring him back on the 14th. If you really love dogs, this could be a fun job for you!

Max had a great time! He got plenty of cuddles, love, and care. Highly recommend!

Dog sitter for 2 corgis, 3 weeks in May

$1,000

Ultimo NSW, Australia

8th Mar 2025

Looking for a responsible dog sitter to look after our 2 corgis for 3 weeks from 26 April to 18 May while we are overseas. We need a home that doesn't have other dogs and ideally in the Ultimo area but flexible depending on person. Lupin is 8 and Saffron is 4 both house trained. Lupin has just recovered from a back leg surgery so he only needs short slow walks. Currently he cannot play with other dogs, fetching, or jumping from heights (e.g. couch. Both corgis are low maintenance dogs who enjoy lots of pats. Would be great to do a meet and greet prior to ensure this is suitable for both parties.

Jin was an excellent carer for our two corgis. We were on holiday for three weeks and she took the best care for them taking them for long walks and keeping them entertained. Jin will go above and beyond with daily pics while we were on holiday. Highly recommend her services.

Pet boarding for 3yr rabbit

$200

Sydney, New South Wales

20th Apr 2025

Seeking a pet sitter in Sydney to temporarily care for my friendly 3-year-old male rabbit, Stanley, from April 21st to May 19th. He's very interactive and gets along well with other animals. Ideally, you'd have a secure indoor space like an apartment balcony or study room, as Stanley is used to free-roaming indoors. I'll provide all his litter and dry food and happily reimburse you for any extra supplies. My previous pet-sitting arrangements fell through unexpectedly, which makes things super difficult. I can drop Stanley off at your doorstep anywhere in Sydney at a time that suits you best today. Im currently on a medical rotation, working rurally, so I’d be grateful for your help!
