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.

Hi there! I’m looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter to look after my spoodle, Rafael, while I’m away from 24th December to 2nd January.

My daughter has two Cavalier's Ralph & Willow who need looking after for one week whilst she is working at Mount Buller. Starting today if possible until next Saturday. I am unable to have them in my apartment. All food and their bed will be provided. They are both 8 years old and the best of friends. Willow loves a cuddle and a walk. Ralph is deaf but a happy boy and loves his food. They are both good with other animals and children as they have the sweetest nature. Unfortunately, they cannot stay in their own home during this period so you must be prepared to have them in your own home. We can drop off today when convenient.


Samantha and her son cared for our two cavaliers whilst our daughter was working. They did a wonderful job. Thank you so much

Pet Sitter with Secure backyard near Harrington Park
$120
Harrington Park NSW 2567, Australia
3rd Aug 2025
Hi there! We are looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter who lives within 30 minutes of Harrington Park with a secure backyard to look after our three small desexed and vaccinated toy poodles (less than 7kg each) for three days. We’re offering $40 a day. We'll bring them to your place and pickup from your place. Here’s what we’re looking for: Secure Backyard: A safe outdoor space where our toy poodles can play during the day. Indoor Sleeping Space: At night, the puppies should sleep indoors in a pen with their cushions and the lights off. We will provide the pen and their cushions. Food: We provide all the food they need! They usually eat a mix of rice and 4Legs meatballs, but if you don’t have rice, that’s okay. We’ll also provide kibble and the meatballs (just store the meatballs in the fridge). Expectations: Some supervised playtime in the backyard or walks would be great. They'd love to sit on your lap and be your tv buddy. Just make sure they’re safe, fed, and comfortable. The pups are toilet-trained, so if you prefer to keep them indoors, just let them out every 3 to 4 hours for a bathroom break. Bedtime routine, let them out for a toilet break before their bedtime and they're able hold till the morning. If you have a secure space and a big heart for small dogs, we’d love to hear from you! Please let us know if you’re interested or have any questions. Thank you! Drop off: 5 August Evening Pickup: 8 August Evening


Isabel is a great pet sitter and my pups had a great time staying and playing with her. She took care of them with so much love and attention we’d would be happy and looking forward to let her care for them again.
Cat sitter wanted

Looking for a Cat Sitter – Northside Brisbane I’m looking for a loving, reliable cat sitter for my sweet 18-year-old ragdoll cross. She’s very quiet and shy, and prefers a peaceful environment to nap and watch the world go by from a sunny window. She’s not a fan of loud noises, energetic animals, or children, so a calm, kid-free home would be ideal. She enjoys gentle pats but mostly keeps to herself – she’s super chill and low-maintenance. All you really need to do is feed her, keep her litter tray nearby (to avoid any accidents), and make sure she has a quiet spot to relax. We’ll provide her food, litter, and bed. If you’re a fellow cat lover who enjoys the company of a low-key feline friend, I’d love to hear from you.


Absolutely amazing cat sitter! Her communication was prompt and clear from the start, and it was obvious she’s a true cat lover. My 18-year-old cat was so well cared for — I could relax knowing she was in good hands. She was also available on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. A genuinely wonderful person — I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. Will definitely book again!
