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.

🐾 Loving Home Pet Sitting – Caulfield East 🐾 Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m in my 30’s and live in Caulfield East right next to the Caulfield Racecourse. I’m currently on leave and spend most of my time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while staying with me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for pets of all kinds. Since recently moving, my home has become a little quiet — so I would genuinely love the company of some furry friends while helping local pet owners who need a safe and caring place for their pets. Your pet will stay in a calm home environment where they will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of affection. I understand how important pets are to their families and I will care for them as if they were my own. 🐶 What I offer • A quiet, safe home environment • Lots of attention and companionship • Flexible stays from single days to longer bookings • Regular photo updates if you’d like them 📍 Location Caulfield East (next to Caulfield Racecourse) 📋 Requirements • Pets must be dropped off and collected by the owner • Owners must provide all food, bedding, toys and any medication • Suitable for pets comfortable in a home environment 💲 Rates $35 per day / overnight stay +$10 for an additional pet If you’re looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter in the Caulfield area, feel free to message me to discuss your pet’s needs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet first so you can feel comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry or feathered family members! 🐾

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
