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.

Glen Iris VIC 3146, Australia

23rd Mar 2025

We have an energetic 7-year old border collie who we need a baby-sitter for at a house other than ours. I would need to drop her off on Sunday March 30th. She is lovely company, but a tricky animal as she is constantly afraid of things in the sky such as jet streams or a day-time moon. She loves outside at our house, but it is good if there is a garage, laundry or shed in which she could sleep as her nerves mean she would have a tendency to bark at stuff in the night. She also barks quite a bit during the day if she doesn’t have company. If all that is not enough, she doesn’t like many other dogs and has a tendency to try to fight them. Full disclosure :) Anyway, her name is Bear and we love her dearly but since only my sons will be home for a week and they’re not so good at looking after her, I am looking for a place for her to stay. Pictures attached. We would supply all the food for her

I think our dog was very lucky to spend time with Yianni….she was sad to leave :) Thanks Yianni

Pet Boarding my 2 year old Toy Cavoodle, Sunny

$60

Glen Iris VIC, Australia

17th May 2024

Hi there, I would like someone to take care of my Toy Cavoodle, Sunny between Sunday 26th May 2024 till Friday 31st May 2024 (5 days) at your place. I will drop her off on Sunday and Pick her up on Friday. She is very small at 4kg and is extremely wholesome and friendly dog and will give you plenty of attention and be a perfect companion. The main tasks required would be feeding Sunny twice a day, She is toilet trained so needs access to a yard or her Puppy Pads (she needs to be shown where they are placed) and lastly a short 10-15 minute walk a day is sufficient for her breed. She can be quite independent so if you do work, that’s totally okay, as long as she has access to her puppy pads/yard and water during the day, she’ll be fine. I will provide you with everything you need within those 5 days. I live in Glen Iris, so prefer someone within a 5-10km radius to drop her off. Let me know if you have any further questions. Oh and I have also attached some cute photos of her. :) Many Thanks, Mike

Thanks for taking care of Sunny

(Reposting due to cancellation) Hi there, I m looking for someone to pet board my 17 month old Toy Cavoodle, Sunny from 16th November 2023 to 5th December 2023 (20 days) at your place. Sunny is a small adorable pup, she’s only 4kg and extremely friendly. She will give you a lot of attention but she’s trained to be by herself when you’re away (if you’re working).The basic tasks need to be done is feeding Sunny twice a day, changing her puppy pads or giving her access to the yard. Once you show her where she needs to go, she will be fine. And lastly giving here some love. I will provide everything you need for ensuring it’s easy for both of you I.e, food, pads, treats etc. And also she gets along very well with other dogs. She’s vaccinated and wormed. We can find a common place where I can hand her over to you on the 16th :) - Due date: Before Thursday, 16 November 2023

Thanks to both for taking care of Sunny

Pet boarding my toy cavoodle puppy Sunny.

$50

Glen Iris VIC 3146, Australia

5th Jul 2023

Hello there, I am going interstate so I am looking for someone to take care of my 1 year old toy cavoodle puppy Sunny from Thursday night on 6th July (tomorrow) till Wednesday night on 12th July. The main tasks would be giving her love and attention, feeding her 2x a day, giving her place to go potty and having water available at all times. Sunny is toilet trained so she just needs to be shown the closest grass or where the puppy pads have been placed a couple of times during her first day. I will be providing all the basic stuff such as food, pads and toys. She has been desexed, wormed and fully vaccinated so she poses no particular danger. She is an extremely social and adorable puppy so she needs a lot of love. Note: Sunny may not be suitable if you have got large high energy dog, a small apartment or if you can't provide the basic stuff so I will be looking for someone who had done this before. Thanks, Mike - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 6 July 2023
