Top Dog Care related questions
In most cases, no. The dog care service specialists you hire already have the appropriate tools and equipment for the job. They also have the requisite skills and some have years of experience in caring for dogs, so there’s no need to provide them with any tools or equipment. The only items you may want to provide are your dog’s favourite treats, toys or blanket to help keep them calm and more comfortable with your hired dog care specialist.
That depends on which services you hired. Dog grooming can take at least an hour; this may take longer if your precious pooch isn’t used to grooming, and the groomer has to go slow and allow your dog to calm down. Dog sitting or dog boarding depends on how many days you booked the services. Dog training may take several sessions a few minutes per day over a week or two, depending on the tricks you have them learn.
Absolutely. If you offer grooming, sitting, boarding or other services catering to canines, you can hire a Tasker to help. The trick is to make a post with all the crucial details to attract the most suitable Taskers. You’ll find that you can hire Taskers for almost any handyman type of job, even related ones like house sitting and pet door installation. The right post can get you interested, capable Taskers in minutes. Try it for yourself!
You can do some research via online search engines, or better yet, make a detailed post on Airtasker. Instead of poring through several websites which may or may not have customer ratings or reviews and not have your inquiries replied to quickly enough, you can use our platform. You can see reviews and ratings on potential dog boarding services to hire, and they can speak to you if you have any questions. Use Airtasker so that trustworthy dog carers can find you!
An in-home pet sitter is a good option if you hesitate to have your precious pup in a new and unfamiliar environment. Dog boarding houses or pet hotels may not be advisable if your dog is anxious around strangers. An in-home pet sitter is a good alternative as your dog only needs to get acquainted with one other person. They don’t have to leave the familiar environment of their own home and are less likely to become stressed.
That can depend on what you agree upon with your hired dog sitter. While some dog sitters make this part of their service, not all of them will take on more tasks than you’ve contracted them to do. To ensure that you get the kind of care and services you want for your dog, be specific with your needs and discuss them with the dog sitter you want to hire.

What do dog care services include?
Dog care services include a range of different services to maintain delivered by expert dog carers to ensure your precious pup’s well-being. This service can consist of grooming, sitting, training, or boarding your dog - they can be booked singly or in any appropriate combination.
Dog grooming
This is a service that’s not only about keeping or restoring your dog’s appearance. Grooming is also about your dog’s hygiene and overall health, especially if they are longhaired breeds. Most longhaired dogs eventually have problems with overgrown fur clumping up and accumulating dirt and other debris.
Matted hair must be removed as these clumps of fur are not only unsightly but can prove uncomfortable or painful for your dog. You can hire dog groomers to come to your home and provide your dog’s grooming needs; this can include thorough brushing of their fur, trimming overgrown hair and nails and bathing and drying your dog.
Dog sitting
When you need to be away from home and don’t have anyone to watch your pet, this is an essential service. This is especially helpful when you need to be away from home suddenly because you can book the service on short notice.
An expert dog sitter can go to your home to spend some time with your dog, feed them and clean up after they eat. Dog sitters can also keep them company. You may book this as overnight dog care, or as a daily service provided until your return.
Dog Boarding
Another option to ensure your dog is cared for an overnight while you’re away is to take them to a dog boarding facility. This is an excellent service to book when you prefer having your pup in a more social environment.
They can stay in a safe, warm and friendly environment with other animals and remain in the company of expert dog carers for longer. Some dog boarding facilities can give your dog their medications if they have issues or are seniors for an additional fee.
Dog training
When you want to modify your dog’s behaviour and make him more obedient and calm or perform tricks for entertainment, you can book a dog trainer. Dog trainers can teach your dog to respond to your verbal commands or do other more impressive tricks like standing and walking on their hind legs, fetching items, rollover or other tricks your dog trainer can teach them.

Regular Dog Wash & Basic Grooming – Friendly Adult Border Collie 🐶
$50
Rochedale QLD 4123, Australia
6th Sep 2026
Hi! I’m a friendly adult Border Collie looking for someone nice and reliable to help keep me clean, brushed and comfortable 🐶 I’m very well behaved, friendly and I love people. I’m generally pretty easy to work with, and I’d love to find someone who genuinely likes dogs and can get to know me over time. Nothing fancy needed — I’m just looking for regular maintenance such as: * Washing and drying * A good brush-out and removing loose hair * Basic coat cleaning and tidying * Nail trimming if needed * Ear cleaning and general basic hygiene * Keeping me clean, comfortable and looking tidy I don’t need professional styling or an expensive grooming package. I’d much rather have someone who is gentle, patient and comfortable around dogs. Ideally, I’d like to see the same person regularly so we can get familiar with each other and build a nice relationship over time. 🐾 Please let my human know about your experience with dogs, what you normally include, and your price for a regular wash and basic groom. 😊

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.

Hey, I’m going away from the 5th–9th of July this year and I’m looking for someone who might be able to take and look after my sausage dog while I’m away. He’s a really chill dog and doesn’t require much maintenance — he mainly just needs feeding, and walking once or twice throughout that those dates. It would honestly mean a lot if anyone could help out. Thank you so much! $50 per day (we can supply dog food for you and collar + leash) Please ask any questions
Martin was great! Funny guy, he looked after my dog when I was desperate trying to find a dog kennel, he’s the best, highly recommend as a professional!!! :)
