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.

Rushcutters Bay NSW, Australia

6th Jun 2026

I need an experienced dog lover to watch my sweet and well trained, easy-to-manage (but large-for-the-area) shepherd mix for a little under two days this week while I move apartments. Doug-fir is a 35kg mix of Australian Shepherd and Queensland Cattle Dog with German Shepherd and Collie. He knows commands and walks well on-leash in Sydney parks. We are still working on recall, since he moved here from the California wilderness late last year, so off-leash is not yet an option. I am moving from Rockwall Crescent in Potts Point to Holdsworth Ave. in Elizabeth Bay. To keep the dog out from underfoot and avoid his complicating the removalists’ work, I am looking to have him picked up (or if necessary drop him off) on Monday evening and delivered (or picked up by me) on Wednesday late-afternoon. His regular walkers will take him out Tuesday and Wednesday midday, but he will require 20-minute walks on Tuesday morning and evening and Wednesday morning. If this works out well, I am looking for someone I can trust as a regular sitter during periodic trips out of town. In those cases it may be an option to stay at my apartment, which is lovely. This job is specifically for people with experience caring for and walking larger dogs. Doug-Fir is great with kids and smaller dogs. (For him to share space with a larger dog (>25kg), it would be worth a quick meet-and-greet first to ensure compatibility.) Thank you for your consideration.

Kane is a friendly indoor cat who enjoys a calm environment. I just have a few questions: • Do you board other cats at the same time? • Would Kane have his own space to settle in if needed? • Are you able to provide daily photo updates? • Would it be possible to arrange a meet and greet beforehand?

My family and I will be away from 14 January to 25 January, and we are looking for someone who can care for our beloved Petunia and Archibaldo in their own home during that time. Our house will be going under repairs while we are away so we need someone to take our dogs to their own place. Petunia is a 19-month-old female pug, and Archibaldo is a 5-month-old male dachshund. They are both very friendly, toilet trained, and love cuddles and walks. We will, of course, provide plenty of food, treats, and toys for them.

Anna was absolutely amazing and my puppies really loved staying with her. She sent us photos and videos. Thank you so much Anna for taking such great care of Petunia and Archibaldo. I highly recommend Anna for any pet sitting services.

Pet boarding for 3yr rabbit

$200

Sydney, New South Wales

20th Apr 2025

Seeking a pet sitter in Sydney to temporarily care for my friendly 3-year-old male rabbit, Stanley, from April 21st to May 19th. He's very interactive and gets along well with other animals. Ideally, you'd have a secure indoor space like an apartment balcony or study room, as Stanley is used to free-roaming indoors. I'll provide all his litter and dry food and happily reimburse you for any extra supplies. My previous pet-sitting arrangements fell through unexpectedly, which makes things super difficult. I can drop Stanley off at your doorstep anywhere in Sydney at a time that suits you best today. Im currently on a medical rotation, working rurally, so I’d be grateful for your help!
