Kelly and her son took great care of our furry friends while we were away. She was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond with updates and to clarify arrangements. They came home happy and waggy after their ‘holiday’ with Kelly. Thanks so much!

Dog Care Services
What do dog sitting services include?
Airtasker’s dog sitting service covers the typical things you’d do for your pet in a day: feeding them, playing with them, cleaning up their mess, and giving them lots of affection. 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.
Feeding & administering medication
Your Tasker 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 go over 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
Dog babysitting 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 Tasker also makes sure your pet/s get enough exercise, playtime, and even training while you’re out. Let your Tasker 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 Tasker 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 Tasker 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 sitting appointment, so your Tasker will be able to pet and scratch your dog in all their favourite spots.
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. This helps you feel connected to your pet and prevent any possible problems while you’re out. 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, I’m looking for somebody experienced with dog sitting over the Christmas period for a a week or two. Max is around 15yo, deaf and blind silky terrier. He is gentle natured and still plays but he is not toilet trained as he’s a senior and was adopted less than a year ago but he usually goes outside with the occasional accident inside. He isn’t on any medication and loves other gentle non jumping dogs. He’s unable to navigate stairs or steps and sleeps for a lot of the day. I’m open to him staying at your place or you can stay at mine as I have a backyard. Please get in touch with your experience, ideally I’m looking for someone who works from home or has time off over Christmas as he doesn’t like to be left alone. Thank you, Kaycee - Due date: Before Saturday, 24 December 2022

Amber was adopted from the Lost Dogs Home this week. She is very sweet-natured and well behaved in the apartment, although she has had a couple of wees in one room. She has had no training, which will begin in a week from now. She has also not been well socialised with other dogs and wants to leap into play as soon as she claps eyes on one. She is also very drawn to new people and will jump up on them if given the chance. It is a four hour pet-sitting at my home 7.00am-11.00am while I attend a medical appointment. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 12 May 2022


Emma was great with Amber - both made an instant friendship and Amber was well looked after with walkies and fun on the couch. Highly recommended.
