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.

I'm looking for a pet sitter to look after our 16 year old female cat in their own place while I'm away travelling. Requirements: - Date: I will be dropping her off on the 12th of May (likely in the afternoon) and picking her up on the 19th of May (likely in the morning). - Medication: She is on hyperthyroidism medication so needs to be administered a small thyroid tablet three times a day; once in the morning once in the late afternoon and once at late night with approx. 6-8 hours apart. I've found it easy to give mixed with creamy treat. - Need her own room as she can be quite timid in the beginning. Preference: - Close to Box Hill (Please tell me which suburb you are located in) - No other pet (Please tell me if you have other pet(s))

I need a regular dog sitter for my mini dachshund. He’s a rescue so he has a little separation anxiety but he’s an absolute sweetheart. Will curl up with you all day if you let him. I’d love if he had somewhere he enjoyed going when I need to go away. Let me know your rates and we can discuss a date to take him soon for a trial ☺️ He’s ok with other dogs, doesn’t show too much interest but I just don’t let him go to dog parks as I don’t know too much about his background. He’s great walking on a leash Just to clarify a couple of questions, this would be at your house as mine may be a little demanding. I don’t have outside access so he gets taken downstairs to do his business regularly so I’d love if you had a bit of grass he could access instead. He can be left alone if you work if he has outside access, he’s not house trained without the grass or being taken out just yet but I find that’s something we’re overcoming with the anxiety. This would be overnights as well as days. Preferably somewhere close to hawthorn 🙏🏻
William was amazing looking after my dog! Would highly recommend

Hi there, Just wondering if you would like to take care of my two staffy's Charli and Blaze. They pretty much sleep all day once they have been exercised in the morning and love to cuddle up at night. The dates are 15-20th September. Looking forward to hearing back from you soon. Kind Regards, Francine - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 15 September 2022
Luissa is such a fantastic house sitter - Luissa keeps in contact, sends photos and you can tell how much she enjoys being with animals. Charli developed a skin irritation while I was away and Luissa felt very comfortable contacting me and resolving the issue. The dogs were happy and chilled when I arrived and the house was super tidy. Luissa was also very flexible and accommodating. I can highly recommend her services and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.
