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.

Host my little dog from tomorrow (wed) to Saturday
$150
St Kilda VIC 3182, Australia
25th Aug 2026
Hi everyone- I had an ad up yesterday but seems to have gone missing.. so posting again. I am in urgent need of a pet sitter for my small old chihuahua who is very friendly, easy going and well natured- for tomorrow from midday to Saturday afternoon this week- I have to fly to Sydney urgently. Bearzi (Alijandro) is 15 years old this year so very cruisy to look after, mostly naps and looks for food, or becomes a little shadow and follows you everywhere... doesn't bark, house-trained (but older and sometimes a little unpredictable in new spaces) however we hope this won't happen!!! Always goes to the door to alert me if he needs to go out for his business... very sociable with all humans, to the point of runs across my dead body to get some attention.. but in a loveable way... He is my cherished best little mate and I am hoping someone can look after and over him while I'm away... very much has separation anxiety (me not him.. he's totally fine with it) so please only message if you have a kind heart and love small fat little fur babies as much as I do! Look forward to hearing from you and he will be looking forward to getting some space from me I think... and we are looking forward to potentially meeting you. I'll drop him off around the corner so I won't embarrass him. Oh frofs kids and is truly a small man syndrome little love bug so you will enjoy his company! Cheers Tahnee & bear

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
Adrian was friendly, professional and got the job done exactly to our expectations. Wed definitely recommend him!

Hi! I’m looking for someone to provide pet boarding for my dog while I’m away from 9 December to 20 February. He’s a gentle spoodle who loves company and enjoys playing, especially once he gets comfortable. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes very affectionate. If you offer pet boarding or know someone who does, I’d love to hear from you. He just needs a safe, caring, and patient environment while I’m away. Thank you! 🐾
