Can’t thank Tahnia enough for taking care of my Freddie. Totally put my mind at ease while I was overseas for a couple of weeks. I got multiple updates with pictures. He had a great time! Tahnia came and spent some time at my house first so Freddie could get used to her before taking him with her and dropped him home! Unbelievable service. Thank you again to you and your family for looking after my wee man!!!! Highly recommend! :)

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.

Looking for a Friendly Dog Sitter – Pyrmont (10 Days)

$300

Pyrmont NSW 2009, Australia

8th Aug 2026

Hi! I’m looking for a kind, reliable, and experienced dog sitter to look after my three lovely dogs for approximately 10 days at my home in Pyrmont. I have: * 🐶 One Border Collie * 🐶 Two small Pomeranians All three are very friendly, affectionate, and well-behaved. They love people and enjoy spending time together. The job includes: * Feeding them and making sure they always have fresh water. * Taking them outside for toilet breaks and short walks 2–3 times a day. * Giving them some attention, playtime, and cuddles so they feel comfortable while I’m away. You do not need to stay with them 24/7. As long as they’re cared for properly, have company throughout the day, and aren’t left alone for long periods, that’s perfectly fine. My apartment is located in the heart of Pyrmont, within walking distance of Darling Harbour and the Sydney CBD. It’s a great location if you’d like to enjoy the city while looking after the dogs. I’m looking for someone who genuinely loves animals, is responsible, trustworthy, and has experience caring for dogs. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I’d love to hear from you. Please tell me a little about yourself, your experience with dogs, and your rate for a 10-day stay. Thank you!

Dog minder needed for party in Marrickville

$200

Marrickville NSW 2204, Australia

2nd Aug 2026

Looking for a friendly, responsible dog lover to look after our dog while at a small private party in Marrickville on Thursday 4 September, starting 5:30pm. What's involved: Meet us at the venue in Marrickville at 5:30pm. The venue is near the metro station, we will share the exact location with the successful airtasker. Mind our dog for approx. 2 hours, keeping her happy, entertained, and away from anything she shouldn't eat (food scraps, party snacks, etc.). We'll provide treats and anything else you need for her At around 7.30pm, head off from the party and get her back to our home in Ultimo, either using your own car or Uber pets (both costs factored into pricing) Once you arrive, give her a walk for 30 minutes for a toilet break. Settle her in at home once you arrive. It's a private event with around 30 guests, so a relaxed, small-scale gathering rather than anything big or formal. The event is catered, so you're welcome to eat with the guests. As you'll need to get from Marrickville to Ultimo afterwards, we'd ask that you stick to non-alcoholic drinks if you intend to drive. She's a cavoodle, around 7kg, super friendly, and loves people. She also loves food a bit too much, so she'll need close watching around snacks and party food, as she'll happily help herself if given the chance. Otherwise she's easygoing and a joy to be around. Ideal for someone who's confident with dogs, comfortable in a social environment, and has their own car or is happy to use Uber Pets (own transport cost, included in the task payment). Should take around 3.5 hours in total, from 5.30pm onward, including the trip, walk, and settling her. Please include any relevant experience with dogs in your offer. Happy to answer questions before you apply!

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!
