If I could give Tania 6 stars I would! Tania did an amazing job looking after our Dachshund for the weekend and treated her like her own. Tania sent us updates and photos all weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided 🙌🏻 Thank you so so much!

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.
The best place to find pet sitter is on Airtasker. A good pet sitter will have high ratings, glowing reviews, and evidence of working with happy pet owners in the past.
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.

Pet Sitter - Stay In 24/7 For 2 Weeks
$700
Huonville TAS, Australia
2nd May 2026
We are looking for an experienced pet sitter for two weeks in September. We can share the dates with the right enquirer. You would be looking after one large breed dog - and need to be here during the day and night - unless you are popping out for an hour or two. The dog is used to someone being here 24/7. The dog is pretty laid back and will lay around most of the time, only being walked on the property, not to be taken out or socialised with any other dogs / people. We would prefer someone with references. It would suit someone older who does not need to head out to work or works remotely. We will put an approx budget but please do discuss this if your price differs from our offer.

Hi there! I’m looking for a dog sitter to help my puppy get settled next week and wanted to see if you might be available. He’s still very young and adjusting to being alone, so I’m hoping to find someone patient and calm who can spend a bit of time with him during the day, help with toilet breaks, and keep things low-stress while he’s getting used to his routine. Ideally, I’d love someone who understands puppy behaviour (he can be a bit excitable and still learning!) and is happy to follow a simple routine I’ll provide. Let me know your availability, experience with puppies, and rates when you get a chance 😊 Thanks so much!

Regular house sitting and pet sitting overnight for between one and six nights throughout year while I am working interstate or overseas. Dates vary. Very loving female desexed 6 year old Staffordshire bull terrier/labrador that needs cuddles and attention and is happy mostly indoors except for a short daily walk. Also a 14 month old indoors only cat. Dog must be given two tablets each morning directly into mouth. Dog is very good with this but tablets cannot be put in food. Not suitable for someone who works all day. Must be home with dog at least half the day and overnight or at least regular call-ins during the day to let dog out into yard to go to toilet. Large comfortable Queenslander and yard. Stan/Foxtel/Netflix/Disney Plus. $85 per 24 hour period negotiable. Recent police check essential. If you are a kind responsible person who loves animals, especially staffies. Might be very convenient for an ACU student as ACU is close by. Close walking distance from Northgate and Virginia train stations. Bus is also available close by. Please let me know if you can help!
Jamal did a wonderful job, great attention to deal, very helpful and caring, careful approach. Would highly recommend.
