Top Pet Care related questions
The average cost of pet services on Airtasker is $15 to $140, but it could cost more or less than this. The price of your pet care services will depend on the service you need, what kind of pet you have, and how much time is needed to complete your task. For instance, the rates for hiring dog sitters can range from $15 to $100. The cost of dog walkers can range from $20 to $50. Specify the task you need to get the best quote for pet care in your area.
Pet carers can help with all aspects of keeping your pet happy and healthy so you have peace of mind even when you're away from home or unable to look after your beloved pets. Depending on your pet, services can include feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning/washing, pet sitting, or doggy day care.
Pet carers generally take care of dogs or cats, but many are experienced in a wide range of animals, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, rodents, fish, and reptiles.
No qualifications are necessary to be a pet carer, but a love for animals and a caring personality helps. Pet sitters or anyone looking after animals may need Public Liability insurance. You may find a pet care provider who has done pet-minding courses to formalise their experience. It's recommended to do a background check before hiring a Tasker for pet care in your area.
It depends on whether your pet care is happening at home or in a new environment. Usually, if your pet is being cared for at your home, they’ll use their existing items (like leashes, collars, and feeding bowls). But if your service provider is caring for the pet in a new environment or using special tools (like grooming tools), they’ll usually use their own.
Hiring pet services means your pet can still get the care and attention it needs when you’re away on holidays, working, or just too busy. Your pet can get the companionship and care they need to be happy and healthy.

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.

Brisbane City QLD, Australia

Hello there! I’m looking for someone to take my lilah girl from the 17th to the 23rd of April! I’ll be coming back after 6:30pm on the 23rd. She’s a 9 month chihuahua, foxy mix and so full of energy 🔆 While she gets it right most of the time she will still have some accidents on carpet. If the door is left ajar she will go out by herself or will most of the time pace at the door when she needs to go. I’d ideally want someone that works from home or works short shifts and that can short walk her daily. She’s not the best with other dogs as she’s young and has had almost no socialising with animals other than my housemates kitten (they are good friends) so cats are okay 🐱 While I don’t mind if there are other dogs in the house her size I will leave it up to you to introduce as it causes me to much anxiety. In saying this we are starting doggy school so don’t come for me 😂 I will provide everything she needs. Price is all together not per day. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you! 🥰
An absolute gem!! Looked after my girl so well, made me feel super comfortable about leaving her and wanted to know every detail to make sure Lilah had a good stay! Just all over great!! 💗

Regular reliable Gardner
$100
St. Ives NSW, Australia
18th Mar 2024
Looking for a reliable Gardner to clear up leaves in our garden the morning before an open home - we are away so want someone to come next Wednesday morning for briefing / interview. Must have excellent completion score, eye for detail and have guaranteed availability for weds 27th, Sat 30th, weds 3rd, and Saturday 6th from 0800-1000; the last Gardner just didn’t turn up one morning before the open home which really screwed us so I can’t exaggerate how important reliability is. Please bid with a quote for 2x your hourly rate. I’ll award the job for one visit then agree rates from there. There will be a bonus at the end if all sessions are completed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks! Will use again…
