What do pet care services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets or animals - they can also help with boarding, companionship, and exercise. Importantly, they can help you look after your pet if you’re unable to or if you’ll be away. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or someone to help you take care of a puppy when you're at work, Airtasker can connect you with the right professionals.
Here are a range of pet services available to help with your beloved animals:
Pet sitting & boarding
Most pet owners consider boarding kennels for their pets when they’re heading away overnight or for an extended period, but your pet can also stay in your home or in the home of a registered pet sitter. Some pet boarding services also offer a day care service for those pets that don’t like to be left alone during the day. At a pet boarding service, your pet will receive food, exercise, and comfortable bedding as well as the company of people and dogs around them. There may also be music and air conditioning in some places. Or if you choose a dog, reptile boarding, or cat sitting service, your pet can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their routine with a dedicated pet sitter in your own place. This is especially helpful for anxious pets or those needing constant supervision.
Dog walking & exercise
If you’re working long hours or heading away on holiday, dog walking services can help your pooch get their daily workout to keep them happy and healthy. During the walk, they’ll burn off energy and ward off feelings of boredom and restlessness when they’re back home alone. You can book dog walking as a one-off or regular service, and your dog may be walked with others if it’s comfortable with socialisation. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes to an hour before bringing them safely back into your home or yard.
Washing & grooming
Washing and grooming are necessary for every pet’s health and well-being. Specialised pet grooming (including cat grooming and dog grooming) services are equipped to bathe your pet with minimal mess and fuss. Your pet groomer will wash and dry your pet’s coat, clip fur, trim nails, and administer any pest treatments in a single appointment. You’ll likely need to book pet grooming around once a month, ensuring you brush your pet’s fur to keep it clear of dirt between appointments.
Dog training
Getting help with dog training can be the quickest way to a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training will help to improve your dog’s behaviours such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialise with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enrol their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behaviour early on.

Complete Cleanout of Brick Garden Fish Pond (Thornbury)
$350
Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia
18th Jun 2026
Looking for an experienced pond cleaner to completely clean out our brick-raised garden pond and help save our fish. We inherited this pond and its goldfish when we bought the house a few years back. Following a recent home renovation, the pond has become heavily choked with organic muck, rotting leaves, and overgrown weeds. Unfortunately, the water quality has deteriorated, and we have lost 3–4 fish in the past few days. Hoping we can save the rest of them. Pond Specifications: Dimensions: Raised brick trough, approximately 3000mmx700mmx400mm deep. Inhabitants: A small population of goldfish (visible in photos). Please try to keep the rest of our fish safe - we have a bucket, but would probably prefer you bring something suitable for them if possible. We are looking for someone to drain and clean the pond. We don't have a pump or and pipes etc. The plants need a trim, or may need to be disposed, and we would like some recommendations for new plants if needed. And any other tips for maintaining the pond a bit better than what we have! We'll need a hand with conditioning/treating our tap water for refilling, but might be able to handle the actual refill ourselves. We don't have any equipment for this job at all, so will need you to bring everything. We can use our Green Bin for waste, if that makes a difference to the price. Looking to get this sorted as soon as possible to save the remaining fish - hopefully
2x large aquarium’s removal to new place
$200
Northcote VIC 3070, Australia
16th Jun 2026
Need two aquariums to be moved to my new place. The aquariums are large and heavy, and require at least two people to carry. The first one is 120x75x75cm The second one is 150x50x50cm. The tanks will be emptied of water and livestock prior to the move. The cabinets will be transported myself. The tanks will be transported from Northcote to Wonga Park. There are only two steps that are at the Northcote home to worry about. The Wonga Park home has a small step over the door frame to carry the tanks over. Photos included of steps for reference.

Hi, I have to be somewhere between 11:30am-4:30pm tomorrow. We only have our dog Mac recently from the shelter so he can't be alone yet. I'm looking for a dog sitter who would come to our apartment and just accompany our dog Mac while I'm away. I will take him out before I leave, so you won't need to go out, just chill at our place until I'm back. I'll make sure we have a pizza and some snacks for your lunch.
