Antonio was very friendly & lovely with my pet IV. she took extra care just like her own pet. She walked IV regularly, updated us with text & pics. We couldn’t pick our dog as scheduled and Antonio did not charge anything extra for overstay. We highly recommend her if you would like a home environment for your pet. Thank you so much Antonio for taking care of IV.

Ryan and Amy looked after my 2 year old mini Groodle for the long weekend whilst I went away. They took such good care of her and made her feel completely at home by letting her sleep on their bed as she was used to and spent her time inside with them. They even took her to a dog friendly cafe and bought her doggy treats! I got regular updates and knew she was being well cared for which gave me such peace of mind & would definitely use them again

Urgent Dog sitter at house | 1/1 til 11/1

$100

Tarneit VIC, Australia

27th Dec 2025

Dog sitter needed urgently (female only) - 1/1/25 to 10/1/25 | Tarneit, VIC 3029 Looking for a gentle, patient dog person to stay in our home in Tarneit (3029) and care for Toto (13) - a sweet senior rescue boy who’s slow to trust but incredibly loyal once he feels safe. No walks needed, he prefers to stay at home and has the back yard. Just feed him twice daily, give him time to warm up, and keep him company at home. He may cry the first day or two while settling, but he comes around with calm reassurance and routine. You’ll be staying in the guest room with a queen bed in a clean, easy 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom townhouse. Only one small task - pop Toto in the garage during a short inspection on the 3rd and 10th of Jan, Saturday 11:45–12:30pm. This is short notice as unexpectedly in NZ for a funeral. $100 for the full stay and a fixed price due to urgent, unexpected death of immediate family member. Toto has low requirements as a 13 yr old rescue dog if you’re a pro with rescues. If this sounds like you and you’re available Jan 1-10th please message. We’d be so grateful. Thanks!

Not sure if they have just come out?

Fish Tank Cleaning

$100

Greensborough VIC, Australia

8th Sep 2025

I need my freshwater aquarium cleaned. The tank is 900mm (L) x 400mm (W) x 600mm (H), which is approximately 216 litres in volume. Stock: Guppies and tetras. Equipment: I have a filter, but I think someone turned it off while I was overseas. Unfortunately, I returned briefly but then had to leave again for work, so the tank hasn’t been maintained for about a month and is now noticeably declining. What’s needed: • Full clean of the tank, and ornaments. • Water change (safe for guppies and tetras). • Clean, check and restart the filter to ensure it’s running properly.

Charlie was amazing from the get go, just super responsive and knows what he’s talking about. Got the job done and will definitely be using Charlie in the future.

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

Pet boarding my pugalier

$250

Pakenham VIC, Australia

26th Nov 2023

I’m looking for someone who’d happily board my dog in the time frame of the 18th-27th of December. Looking to pay $250-$300 I’m pretty low on money with Christmas and a ver bill and another one coming up again soon for my cat that’s mainly all I could really afford. She’s a pugalier who’s almost 14 years old, she’s completely blind, has diabetes and a heart murmur. She needs insulin every 12 hours she gets insulin 9:30 in the morning and again 9:30 at night. She has a special diabetic diet that she’ll come with as well as her insulin,needles and bedding. She’s very easy to look after I recommend however keeping her in a confined space that isn’t on carpet incase she does an accident. The only issues with her is she gets a lot more confused being an older dog so when she’s lost she will bark a lot if she’s lost or confused. The other only issue is when feeding her or other pets you’ll need to keep them separated. She cannot eat any other food she has to stay strictly to her diet and she also bullies other animals if they’re around eating she’ll try bullying them for their food or she’ll get nippy at them if the come around to her while she’s eating. Apart from that she’s competely easy going most she’ll probably do is sleep she is fine with kids and other animals. - Due date: Needs to be done on Monday, 18 December 2023

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
