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.

Dog sitter for a week

$100

Kingswood NSW, Australia

11th Mar 2024

My partner and I are travelling and need a pet sitter for a week, my dog is a Black German shepherd Girl, she’s 1 and a half and she’s very calm and not aggressive, we provide the food and just need you to walk her and feed her and top up her water. Cameras in our lounge room and bed rooms. Only do so in the day as my dad is home by night. 9-10am - walk my dog around the block a few times, take her to the field across the road, she likes it there. 11am - feed my dog some of her dog roll + the high quality kibble and raw feed. Walk her again at 12:30pm, it’s important that there’s a break in between, larger breed dogs are more likely to get Bloat from playing/walking after eating. Make sure she’s hydrated in the day and please if another dog is near be aware that my dog barks and pulls, she is not aggressive but very very excited, but remember you don’t know what the other dogs intentions are so try to avoid other dogs unless you take my dog to a dog park.

Ashmore QLD 4214, Australia

1st Mar 2024

I am looking for someone to look after my 10yo border collie in their home from 19-31 March. Yes, I know how soon that is. Unfortunately the person who was going to look after her can't. My dog is fairly easy to care for. She likes cuddles in the morning, sleeps in whichever room I'm in for part of the day, explores the garden and entertains herself for the rest of my work day, likes to play and/or have a short (up to half an hour due to joint issues) leisurely walk after work, hangs out until bed time and likes cuddles/pats before bed. She is fully house trained - she knocks on the door to go out and is fine overnight. She is trained in basic commands and is normally well behaved, but she does bark when she hears the postie. She is a border collie and her natural herding instinct is strong. She can't be around chickens, bikes or scooters. She is fine with cats as long as they are willing to tell her they are boss. An adult will need to walk her because she may try to chase any bikes or scooters that wiz past. - Due date: Needs to be done on Sunday, 19 March 2023

Jillinda looked after my dog for 2 weeks. She provided regular updates which gave me peace of mind that my fur-baby was being spoilt while I was away. She was understanding of my dog's instincts as a working breed and her quirks. I highly recommend Jillinda.
