This was the first time we’d left our dog with anyone else and we are so grateful to Chantel for making it so easy for all of us. She took such good care of our dog and even sent us regular photos and updates. I highly recommend Chantel for dog sitting. 10/10!!

Amazing dog sitter! So happy we found J.M. Treated our furbaby like part of the family with lots of cuddles, walks and treats. Regular updates and we were always confident he was in good hands.

What do dog sitting services include?

Airtasker’s dog sitting service can be straightforward. While the specifics may vary from Tasker to Tasker, and depend on your pet’s own needs, here are the things that you can expect a dog sitter to do.

Puppy collection and delivery

Your puppy sitter can arrange for the collection and delivery of your puppy. A puppy sitter or pet transport service can collect your pup. Then, when you get home from your trip, the sitter can bring your pup back to you. 

Feeding & administering medication

Your puppy sitter relies on your detailed instructions for feeding your pet, providing enough water, and giving them their vitamins and medicine (if applicable). Make sure you have enough supplies before you leave, whether it’s kibble, canned food, home-cooked meals, or raw food. Make sure your sitter is familiar with food prep and portioning. Be clear about what food you allow your dog to eat, and what they’re allergic to.

If your pet is on a special diet, make sure your sitter is informed. The same goes for medication - prepare written instructions and review them verbally before you leave. Don’t just rely on a note on the counter! Good preparation is essential to making sure your pet stays healthy even while you’re out.

Cleaning up pet mess

Puppy sitting also includes cleaning up a pet’s mess. Let your Tasker know your dog’s signal for when they need to “go”, your pet’s usual spot, and how you usually handle dog mess. Make sure your sitter also knows where the cleaning supplies are kept, in case your dog can’t make it to their spot.

Exercise and playtime

Your pet sitter also makes sure your pet/s get enough exercise, playtime, and even training while you’re out. Let your puppy sitter know if they can take your dog on walks while you’re out, and how often this needs to be done. If you have any rules for walks, such as cleaning the paws afterwards or avoiding a rowdy neighbour dog, make sure you tell your sitter about these. Your puppy sitter also makes sure that your pet stays secure at all times, whether inside or outside your property.

Pets, cuddles, and TLC

Your pet will need all the love they can get while you’re out for a friend’s wedding or week-long business trip. Your dog sitter makes sure your pooch gets petted and cuddled regularly. Let your puppy sitter know if they can give your pet treats, and how many they can have per day. Ideally, your pet and the Tasker have met prior to the puppy sitting appointment, so your Tasker will be able to pet and scratch your dog in all their favourite spots.

Puppy grooming

Grooming may include brushing your puppy’s fur and trimming their nails. To avoid overwhelming your puppy, the puppy sitter may brush your puppy’s coat a few minutes at a time throughout the day. If you want to come home to a fresh-smelling pup and a clean house, go ahead and book a sofa cleaning or house cleaning service on our platform as well!

Updates on your pet

If pet updates are part of your Tasker’s arrangement, you can expect an email or message from your sitter on a regular basis. In case of emergencies, you can have your sitter call a relative in the area or your vet - just to make sure your dog is alright.

Hi! Looking for someone lovely to hang out with my dog Miska in Barangaroo for the day. She's a real sweetheart and just needs company, she's just landed this evening from NZ and I will sadly be at work most of tomorrow — so I need someone to take her for walks throughout the day and give her lots of cuddles. The main thing is she can't be left on her own, so I need someone who can be with her the whole time. When: 8:30am – 4:00pm Where: Barangaroo If you love dogs and are keen, get in touch!

Thank you so much for looking after Miska today and giving her to much care and love!!

I am a single mother to a 3 year old, and have an 8 month old cavoodle puppy that was gifted to my son. We’ve recently moved, and have had issues when Ziggy (puppy) is left alone. He is displaying separation anxiety signs - I am enquiring about a dog trainer. I am needing an ongoing dog sitter until the training has been finalised. Most likely for study days (weekly every Wednesday), work days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). I cannot get him into a puppy daycare until he is desexed. Thank you!
