A pet sitter who comes to your home will ensure your pet can stay comfortable in their usual environment and you might even save on fees. Plus, a long-term pet sitter may also be available to help with house sitting while you’re away for long periods of time.
It depends on the arrangement offered by your pet sitter and what you and your pet feel more comfortable with. You might meet with your pet sitter before you commit to help you decide what option will work best for everyone.
No. Pet sitters don’t need a license in Australia, or any specific qualifications.

While the average cost of dog sitters is between $50 and $200 on Airtasker, the exact price will depend on your location, how often you need the service, the number and type of pets, and how much care is needed.
For certain types of tasks, you may need someone who has a specialist licence and also additional insurance. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

I need a great reliable dog sitter that actually loves dogs
$550
Sans Souci NSW, Australia
14th Jun 2026
I’m looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter while I’m away. Total stay 17/08 - 12/09. I’m after someone who genuinely loves dogs, is patient, trustworthy, and can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. It’s important to me that this person has experience with dogs and can show their work, passion, and care — whether through references, previous dog-sitting experience, photos, reviews… My dog is part of our family, so I’m looking for someone who will treat him with the same love, attention, and kindness as we do. I would prefer someone local and available for a meet-and-greet before we leave.

Harrisdale WA 6112, Australia
13th Jun 2026
Hello everyone! I'm just hoping to find someone that could take care of my cat, Nathaya, for a couple of months while I relocate. My little lady unfortunately has heart issues and therefore cannot travel to be with me, and has regular medications that need to be administered. She is currently living in Piara Waters, but I'm happy for her to be taken care of in any location as long as she's been treated like the little princess she is. She would have to stay with you until I secure accommodation which will be approximately 8 weeks from 23rd June, if not earlier. She also doesn't do too well with other furry animals. All medication, food, and all other needs will be provided for. I look forward to hearing from someone soon to discuss! Thanks

I have a three bedroom house ( two with double beds)in Traralgon, VIC, and two cats that I need looked after.

Otherwise the house is yours to enjoy, firewood provided, plex so you can watch what you like and plenty of books. $50 per day ( roughly $1k all up) guaranteed if I get. Photo of the cats every few days. If they stress out And make a mess elsewhere in the house I would ask you clean it (just paper towel, all the carpet it dead to me in the house). WIFI, utilities etc included (just don't go crazy). Pantry at your disposal, I just ask that what is used is written down so I know what I'm replacing when I get back. Dates are August 5th -26th. Happy to be flexible here, so in terms of end date, start date can be no later than the 6th.

Hi, I have to be somewhere between 11:30am-4:30pm tomorrow. We only have our dog Mac recently from the shelter so he can't be alone yet. I'm looking for a dog sitter who would come to our apartment and just accompany our dog Mac while I'm away. I will take him out before I leave, so you won't need to go out, just chill at our place until I'm back. I'll make sure we have a pizza and some snacks for your lunch.
