Lidy C. Did an excellent job, she looked after my dog Harley like her own, I don’t think he wants to come home!!

Holidays dog sitter

My experience with Rebecca was great since she did everything she could in order to keep our dog safe and comfy. When we left our dog with her it was really hot but she let our dog in a paddling pool and she even let him stay under the air condition all day. Whenever I messaged her about my dog, she would always reply as quick as she could so I didn’t have to worry about how my dog was doing all the time because I knew he was safe with Rebecca. 😊

Aggi was absolutely amazing. She came and met our dog the day before the wedding to ensure they were both comfortable around each other. On the day of the wedding, she picked him up, drove him all the way to the wedding, dressed him and walked him down the aisle. She was in stand by to grab him if he got alittle to excited. She walked with him and kept him calm during photos, even tried to get his attention when he wasn’t looking at the camera. She drove him home and fed him and made sure he was ok. Gave us regular check ins. She was lovely and kind. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to bring our fur baby to our wedding. Would highly recommend!

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.

I'm a passionate dog lover who treats every dog as if they were my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'm caring, reliable, and responsible, always paying close attention to each dog's individual needs, routine, and wellbeing. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will receive plenty of affection, patience, exercise, and the highest level of care.
