Puppy dog sitter

Ashley was so wonderful and I can’t thank her enough for being so accommodating and considerate from start to finish. She was so good with the dogs and even came and picked them up to save us a journey. She administered one of my dogs his medication with no problems and also sent photos and updates too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting their doggies to have a safe and happy stay. Thanks so much Ashley I will come back when we need a dog sitter again 🤩

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.

I’m looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter for one month to look after my Labrador and Cavalier. They’re both affectionate, well-behaved dogs who thrive on attention, playtime, and being part of a loving home environment. Ideally, they’ll stay somewhere with a secure backyard where they can safely run around and get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and interaction not just be left alone. There may also be the option to extend to two months if it’s a great fit and of interest to you. If this sounds suitable, please send through an offer for 30 days of care starting Feb 9, along with a brief description of where they’ll be staying and their daily routine.

Wash and basic cut 7 year old Tibetan Spaniel. Rather overdue. Located in Essendon.

Very happy with Dongbei and the job he did with my Tibetan Spaniel, who was very overdue for a haircut. Dongbei was upfront about not having much experience but he took his time and didn’t leave until I was happy. He was very gentle with Ralphie and it was obvious he is a genuine and caring person. Would recommend!

Dog sit/walk

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

Hi, I need someone to sit and take my dog Max for a day about 10am until around 9pm whilst I try sleep for nightshift. Walk to a local park between 4-7pm for 30-45mins to give him a run. He is an easy and friendly dog to walk, play fetch with. I’ve had last minute change of plans with friends going away that usually take him for me while on nightshifts. Would start with day sitting at your house/work and he will stay at home here at night… but potentially an overnight stay at your home only if you’re comfortable with that (obviously would pay additional $) - price negotiable of course if able to pick up/drop off etc even for daysit. He is a Cavoodle… so he is clingy for humans and won’t run away from you, and loves cuddles. He is very easy off leash. Will follow you around including hikes. Great also for dog friendly office spaces. Well toilet trained! Loves his ball and a (short distance) game of fetch. Loves kids for this reason too! Outsourcing on airtasker only as last minute change of plan with my friends, and after day 2 of me trying to sleep during the day he gets bored and keen to play fetch which really disrupts my sleep schedule. He is definitely my fur-baby, so anyone taking him will need to be appropriately vetted (excuse the pun lol). Ideally only those in nearby areas. Great people that have a great time with him open for recurring dogsits! :)

Emilie was so great with my doggo, gave me update pics and is really trustworthy. Highly recommend.
