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.

Take my dog for the day, I’ll be away and I need someone I can trust so he won’t be alone for that long (9am-till around 6pm) He’s still a puppy, very very friendly to other dogs and kids, but he could also be a bit high energy when he’s playing

Coombabah QLD, Australia

i'm looking for someone to hang out with my anxious dog at my house while i'm at work on friday 17/04. i have a 12hr day booked in brisbane, so i'll be out of the house for a total of ~15hrs, i am hoping that someone might be able to cover 0900-1900. eugene is a 3yo border collie. he is super loving and gentle and submissive and eager to please, but he's quite anxious and can be pretty reactive, especially if i'm not there to settle him. he has had both knees reconstructed and will need a third surgery on his left knee at some point soon; just bad genetics. i do my best to prevent him from crazy activities (no dog parks, no dog beaches 🥺), but he can still be a crazy puppy. my ideal candidate is very comfortable with dogs and ideally open to future shifts. thanks for your time, jasmine

not only did delta take amazing care of my dog, but she also took wonderful care of my house. very trustworthy and goes the extra mile, thank you delta!

Temporary Dog Care needed in Loving Home - Urgent

$10

Surfers Paradise QLD 4217, Australia

12th Apr 2026

Hi there, I’m currently looking for someone kind, reliable, and experienced with dogs to temporarily care for my 6 year old female dog while I’m in between homes. At this stage, I don’t have a confirmed timeline, so I’m needing someone who may be open to medium term care, with some flexibility while I work through my housing situation. ABOUT MY DOG: • 6-year-old female Staffy • Extremely well behaved and fully toilet trained • Loves company, attention, and cuddles • Very loved and part of my family • Best suited to a home with no other pets (she doesn’t always get along with other dogs) • She has always lived in an apartment, so doesn’t require a backyard as long as she is taken out regularly • I will provide all food and essentials WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR: • A safe, calm, and caring home environment • Someone experienced and confident with dogs • A home with no other pets • Regular updates/photos for peace of mind • Ideally someone local to the Gold Coast If located near Mermaid Beach, I would absolutely love the option to still visit and take her for daily walks. IMPORTANT: This is not something I take lightly she means everything to me, and I’m looking for someone who will genuinely care for her like their own while I sort out a stable living situation. This is a really important and emotional situation for me, so finding the right person means everything. If you feel like you could help or want to chat further, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much, Mel

Dog Sitter / Dog Friend

$15

Benowa QLD, Australia

3rd Apr 2026

Hi there puppy lovers…..just putting the feelers out there for now & see what kind of response/interest I receive. I’m currently work part-time (usually 1pm-6pm) Weekdays & need someone to hangout with my (nearly) 9yr old Maltese called Henry. He is the most friendliest, playful, intelligent & loving fur friend you’ll ever come across. I will need to drop him off at your place - all I’m asking is for Henry to hang out with you, that he’ll be in a safe environment , treated kindly & given the occasional belly rub. I’m not looking for a dog walker, or a dog sitter as such. I will supply treats, water bowls & anything else Henry might need while hanging out at your place. Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to mind Henry have all said; “he’s been no trouble at all / he’s such a well behaved puppy / he sat on my lap for cuddles while I watched tv / he’s welcome back anytime”. I’m happy to pay a reasonable small daily fee but was hoping I could find someone who would happy to help me out of the goodness of their hearts.
