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.

I'm looking for someone to empty & remove my Fluval Flex 123L fish tank + stand - they are yours to keep. Tank: https://fluvalaquatics.com/uk/shop/product/freshwater-32-5-freshwater Stand: https://www.amazingamazon.com.au/products/fluval-flex-123-aquarium-cabinet-white-html Included is everything you need to run this tank: LED lights (controlled via bluetooth/app), pump, filters, water testing kits, chemicals, fish food, an automatic fish feeder. You could keep it for yourself or clean it and sell it. I've easily spent over $2000 on this setup - the fish tank alone is worth $650 new, and the stand was $400 at the time. Please note this tank is heavy -I recommend you bring a trolley.

I need someone to give my 10 month old kitten a really good clean. He's a dirty grubby boy and needs a good shampoo in the bath. I have the shampoo and stuff, but I don't want to do it to him as he is a rescue and is quite scared and I don't want him to hold a grudge on me. He is so adorable does have sharp claws but he is such a sweetheart and would never mean to scratch you, but you might need to wear a long sleeve or gloves just in case. Photos of kitty attached! I also cannot afford most offers as l am a broke uni student. I really need the help tho!

My dog will be home alone. You will need to access my apartment near QV/ State Library and take him out for a 30-60min walk anytime between 1130 and 1pm so that he can have a wee/poop and a walk. We would need to have a ‘meet and greet’ so my dog is used to you before you do this without me present. Would suit a student or CBD worker- looking to make this a weekly event during school time for the right person.
Great communication and job done perfectly.
