Jacqueline left the house in pristine condition, communicated how our pussy cat was managing throughout (including photos) and we came home to the sheets and towels, changed and washed and a happy, settled cat. A couple of the plants tipped over while we were away and she even replaced them, which was super thoughtful! She was terrific to deal with and was thoroughly trustworthy!

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.

Help me rehome bonded pair cats TOGETHER
$150
Collingwood VIC 3066, Australia
14th Sep 2026
Help Rehoming a Bonded Pair of Cats I need help finding a loving home for two bonded cats who were born on 14 December. They are both desexed and vaccinated. Male (grey) and female (tabby long hair) They are extremely shy at first and need someone patient who will give them time to feel safe and warm up. They are very gentle and have never shown any aggression. They are deeply bonded, so they must be rehomed together. Unfortunately, they need to find a suitable new home as soon as possible. I’m looking for someone experienced with cats or animal rehoming who can help connect them with a safe, caring and permanent home.
Cat & Dog Owners Needed for 1-Hour Observation Sessions 🐱🐶
$25
Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
14th Sep 2026
I’m looking for cat and dog owners in and around Melbourne to participate in short, one-on-one observation sessions with their pets. What’s involved? 1. A small, purely observational tag will be attached to your pet’s existing collar. The tag will be worn for approximately 1 hour only. This tag only records movement data and does not have any GPS, Bluetooth, or audio-visual sensors. 2. During this time, your pet can simply go about their normal routine at home — eating, drinking, walking around, resting, lying down, playing, etc. There are no special activities or training required. Sessions will take place at your home, where your pet is comfortable and can behave naturally. I will be present for the session and will provide any necessary instructions. If you’re interested, please send me a message with your suburb, whether you have a cat or dog, and whether your pet has any health concerns. Happy to answer any questions before you commit!

Puppy sitting
$30
Toorak VIC 3142, Australia
8th Sep 2026
Looking for a reliable, puppy-loving person to look after my 10-week-old pup Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, roughly 10:30am–4:15pm, at my home in Toorak. He's a very young puppy still settling into routine, and isn’t fully vaccinated yet. He's on a 45-minutes-awake, 2-hours-asleep cycle and needs 18–20 hours of sleep a day, so most of the time he'll simply be crate napping. He's happy and settled in his crate, so once he's down you're free to head out and do your own thing — you don't need to sit and watch him sleep. During his awake windows I just need someone to: Let him out for a toilet break and playtime/cuddles Offer food/water on schedule (I'll leave instructions) Pop him back in his crate when he's ready to wind down Ideal for someone who: Loves dogs and has experience with puppies (bonus if you've raised one yourself) Is comfortable following a specific sleep/feeding routine Is trustworthy and comfortable being in my home solo, including while out and about during his naps Can commit to all three days each week (ongoing, not just a one-off) I'll provide a full written routine, food, and everything needed on-site — just need someone consistent and gentle with him.

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!
