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.

The Junction NSW, Australia
15th Dec 2022
Looking for a dog sitter and / or trainer for 10 month old recently adopted ( a week ago ) Ruby, Red cattle dog. Very smart! Loves to be with people which means when I leave the house, she barks :( so.. I am looking for someone to come over or I can drop her off to you when I am away at work Tues, Wed Thurs ( day times ) and the occasional night time where needed / possible. She is reactive to dogs on leads - training her out of this. She's not used to water / swimming as yet, also working on that. Is good at playing with other dogs off leads. Tries to chase birds, also training out of this and excitable, so caution required when off lead in case she goes running! Loves to chase a ball etc and responsive to treats and training quickly, her recall is ok but if she is smelling something or wants to play with another dog etc she needs more work on this :) She is a real sweetie and loves a cuddle and happy to sit and sleep and follow you around all day too I am in the Junction Newcastle - happy to have you here working from my home or popping in and out or I can drop her to you. - Due date: Needs to be done on Sunday, 18 December 2022

Hi there, Our 3 and a half month old German Shorthaired Pointer Chudleigh is in need of a pet sitter overnight on Saturday the 26th November. He can be anxious and would only suit staying overnight with a female due to past trauma with men. If you think you're able to provide a relaxing safe space for the night for Chud, please contact me ☺️ Will drop him off around 3pm Sat 26th, pick him up around 3pm Sun 27th. All food, toys and bed will be provided. Somewhere near Wallsend preferred.
Ash was wonderful and looked after our new puppy and made him feel very at ease. I have already organised weekly puppy sitting with Ash!

Hi there, My name is Chudleigh and I am a nervous 3 month old pup. It makes me very nervous to be left home alone while my parents work, and I'd like some company. Ideally, we are hoping to have a relaxed person who Chud can chill with and feel at ease with. He enjoys playing fetch and lots of cuddles and belly rubs, and plentyyyyy of naps! Chudleigh is needing someone to pet sit ideally at our home, or at your pet safe/fenced and secured yard somewhere within 5 mins drive of Wallsend (unless you're willing to pick him up/drop him off for extra cash). Chudleigh is excellent with other dogs and cats! Tuesday: 8:30am - 1:30pm and 5:30pm -8:30pm (also happy to do 8:30am-8:30pm) - ongoing required Wednesday: 8:30am-2:30pm - ongoing required Possible weekends in future (will pay weekend bonus). - casual only Willing to reward the right match for Chudleigh generously ☺️ Even if you cannot commit to all the hours, please contact me because some company is better than none!

Hi! I'm looking for a regular dog sitter for my lazy 5yo labrador cross named Tigs. I work a 7 on, 7 off schedule, so this dog sitting would be for 3-4 days a week every fortnight (almost always Thurs-Sun, starting on 10th Feb). I'd need to drop him off at 7am and pick him up about 9pm at night those days. He's a chill dog who is fine to be left alone for a few hours, completely house trained and non-descructive, but given that I work long hours I'd prefer to have him looked after those days. I'm hoping for an ongoing service and happy to negotiate, but would be looking for something like $30-35 dollars per day. Cheers and hoping to find someone who loves dogs as much as I do! - Due date: Flexible
Thanks Neil! Looking forward to completing more work with you

I need some one who can look after my beautiful boy Jacko, At your house for 1-3months maximum. He is a Pure-bred American Blue-fawn Staffy 4 years old. He is not desexxed, but he is Registered and up to date with all hes vaccinations. He is very well trained and behaved and he loves being around people, He is used to being indoors, but loves a walk and a play too. He is also really good with all ages of children. I am currently in between motels and finding a place of my own or a place that is pet friendly and I have been finding it EXTREMELY hard to have my dog with at all times because main reason is No Pets and I dont have anyone that I can trust or know that they're going to actually look after him and not get too attached and try to keep him, So im reaching out...
