Recent Pet Care reviews in Melbourne Western Suburbs

Gemma came in and did an extremely good, quick, mess free and hassle free task. She didn’t make it look like I absolutely did not maintain my tank - she cleaned it happily and I didn’t feel like someone was there even. So happy with her prompt arrival as well. Overall, I will definitely recommend Gemma to everyone who has an aquarium.

Fiona was amazing in looking after our 2 large dogs - one Labrador and one golden retriever. Winnie and Luna absolutely loved being there and came back very happy! Will definitely be using again

Dog sitting for 3 nights at sitters home

$150

My experience with Rebecca was great since she did everything she could in order to keep our dog safe and comfy. When we left our dog with her it was really hot but she let our dog in a paddling pool and she even let him stay under the air condition all day. Whenever I messaged her about my dog, she would always reply as quick as she could so I didn’t have to worry about how my dog was doing all the time because I knew he was safe with Rebecca. 😊

Aggi was absolutely amazing. She came and met our dog the day before the wedding to ensure they were both comfortable around each other. On the day of the wedding, she picked him up, drove him all the way to the wedding, dressed him and walked him down the aisle. She was in stand by to grab him if he got alittle to excited. She walked with him and kept him calm during photos, even tried to get his attention when he wasn’t looking at the camera. She drove him home and fed him and made sure he was ok. Gave us regular check ins. She was lovely and kind. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to bring our fur baby to our wedding. Would 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.

Drop in cat sitting for 24 days

$500

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

4th Oct 2026

We are after someone to come to the house twice a day (morning/night) to feed our cat, change his water and & clean his litter for 24 days when we are on holiday. He is very shy and will hide, you don’t need to do much except for basic feeding and cleaning the litter. He gets very scared of people coming up to him so please try and ignore him and he may be more comfortable and come to you on his own. If you don’t see him then he is hiding, don’t worry about this he will come out when he feels safe!
