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.

Pet Sitter during Christmas and New Years

Travancore VIC 3032, Australia
2nd Dec 2025
Hi there! I’m looking for a sitter for my husky, Blaze, from 24 December 2025 to 13 January 2026. Blaze needs two walks a day and does best with someone who can spend a bit of time with him. Ideally, I’m hoping to find someone who can stay at my place in Travancore, but I’m also open to boarding if you have a secure backyard and good parks nearby. He is used to me working 9 to 5 pm everyday except weekends. Ideally I’d like someone who can mirror the same. I can offer $40-$50 per night. Blaze is gentle, friendly, and very easy to look after. He loves people, settles well at home, and is used to routine. Happy to organise a meet-and-greet and answer any questions about his care. If you’re available during this period, please let me know — I’d be really grateful to connect. Thank you!

Hi, I need someone to sit and take my dog Max for a day about 10am until around 9pm whilst I try sleep for nightshift. Walk to a local park between 4-7pm for 30-45mins to give him a run. He is an easy and friendly dog to walk, play fetch with. I’ve had last minute change of plans with friends going away that usually take him for me while on nightshifts. Would start with day sitting at your house/work and he will stay at home here at night… but potentially an overnight stay at your home only if you’re comfortable with that (obviously would pay additional $) - price negotiable of course if able to pick up/drop off etc even for daysit. He is a Cavoodle… so he is clingy for humans and won’t run away from you, and loves cuddles. He is very easy off leash. Will follow you around including hikes. Great also for dog friendly office spaces. Well toilet trained! Loves his ball and a (short distance) game of fetch. Loves kids for this reason too! Outsourcing on airtasker only as last minute change of plan with my friends, and after day 2 of me trying to sleep during the day he gets bored and keen to play fetch which really disrupts my sleep schedule. He is definitely my fur-baby, so anyone taking him will need to be appropriately vetted (excuse the pun lol). Ideally only those in nearby areas. Great people that have a great time with him open for recurring dogsits! :)
Emilie was so great with my doggo, gave me update pics and is really trustworthy. Highly recommend.

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.
