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.

Dog Sitter

Dingley Village VIC 3172, Australia

5th Sep 2026

Looking for a caring, patient, and experienced sitter to look after my 16 year old spoodle for one week. He is an absolute love bug and thrives on affection, but he's also quite anxious, especially with unfamiliar people, new environments, or being left alone for long stretches. He does best with someone calm, gentle, and willing to give him lots of reassurance and one on one attention. Because of his age, he has some health quirks that come with being a senior dog. He may have accidents in the house (both number one and number two), and he can occasionally vomit, particularly if he's stressed or has eaten something that doesn't agree with him. This isn't unusual for him and isn't cause for alarm, but I need someone who is comfortable cleaning up after him without fuss and who won't get upset or punish him for it. Patience and a good sense of humour go a long way here. He's on a regular routine that helps keep his anxiety in check, so consistency really matters. I'll provide a full rundown of his feeding schedule, any medications or supplements he takes, his favourite spots to nap, and the little things that help him settle when he's feeling unsettled. What I'm looking for in a sitter: Experience with senior dogs or anxious dogs preferred Comfortable with basic clean up (accidents, vomit) without judgment Available to stay overnight or spend significant time with him each day (happy to discuss what works) Calm, gentle energy, he can pick up on stress easily Reliable and communicative, happy to send photo or video updates He may be getting on in years, but he still has plenty of love to give and just wants someone kind by his side. If you think you'd be a good fit, please reach out and I'm happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so he can get comfortable with you first.

Looking for a dog sitter for my puppy from 25th-28th Sep 2026 to stay at your house Luna is a 6 months old friendly and affectionate American Staffy. She loves people and really enjoys human company and cuddles. As she’s still a puppy, there are a few things to know about her. She knows to toilet outside when we let her out, and she also knows to use a pee pad indoors. However, she doesn’t always let us know when she needs to go yet, so the occasional accident can still happen if we don’t realise she needs to toilet. She also occasionally chews on things she’s not supposed to if left unsupervised. At home, we normally have a puppy-safe room set up for her where she stays when we can’t supervise her, with her bed, pee pads, toys and water. When we’re around and can keep an eye on her, she’s free to come out and hang out with us. You’re absolutely welcome to follow the same routine while looking after her, so she doesn’t need to be supervised every minute of the day. She’s also crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight, so she doesn’t need to sleep with you. She does really enjoy having people around though, so I’m hoping to find someone who can spend a good amount of time with her and won’t need to leave her alone for very long periods. If you’re available, I’d love to know your availability, rate, and if you have other dog. I’m also very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand.

I am currently moving and staying at friends places and my small old chihuahua who is extremely friendly and quiet (not normal chihuahua behaviour) would be much less stressed if he was able to stay at one place during this time- if anyone is willing to pet sit him for me for about a week (potentially a couple of extra days) for $100- he is extremely low maitenence but has started losing sight and hearing recently- but happy to be left alone day or night if needed and can't walk much so pretty much just would enjoy some company and stable environment.

Endeavour Hills VIC, Australia

6th May 2026

10th of May till the 20th I need a Petsitter for Neo- Teacup Yorki poodle 6.5 yrs old for 10 days whilst going away. Neo is toilet trained, not a yappy dog, quiet, cuddly and friendly, he’s a perfect lap dog for chilling on the couch watching Netflix. Great with Kids. Toilet trained. Preferably no other pets as he’s not much bigger than a tissue box. Preferably work remotely or at home allot. Will come with food supplies, toys, lil jacket and lead for walking.

Such a wonderful job with looking after my little Neo for my trip. They were flexible with leaving a day later, quick to message, communicate and stay in touch and so trustworthy and reliable. Would definitely book them again. Thanking you ever so kindly. Xx

In Desperate Need Of A Dog Sitter!!

I am desperately trying to find a pet sitter who could take my Dad’s elderly Staffy this Friday 17/4 until Tuesday 21/4. My Dad lives in Pioneer Bay and can drop Bonnie off anywhere between there and the airport on Friday afternoon and provide her with all the food she will need for those days. We are a little stressed at the moment, as he will be unable to visit his family on the Gold Coast for my 50th this weekend, if we can’t find anyone in time. Please reach out asap if you can help, thank you 😊

Was an absolute life saver, having my Dad’s dog Bonnie, so that he could be with his family for my 50th birthday! Great communication and all round was a very positive experience!
