Boarding kennels can be expensive for you and frightening for your pet. A pet sitter who comes to your home will ensure your pet can stay comfortable in their usual environment and you might even save on fees. Plus, a long-term pet sitter may also be available to help with house sitting while you’re away for long periods of time.
It depends on the arrangement offered by your pet sitter and what you and your pet feel more comfortable with. You might meet with your pet sitter before you commit to help you decide what option will work best for everyone.
No. Pet sitters don’t need a license in Australia, or any specific qualifications.
The best place to find pet sitter is on Airtasker. A good pet sitter will have high ratings, glowing reviews, and evidence of working with happy pet owners in the past.
While the average cost of dog sitters is between $50 and $200 on Airtasker, the exact price will depend on your location, how often you need the service, the number and type of pets, and how much care is needed.
For certain types of tasks, you may need someone who has a specialist licence and also additional insurance. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

Cat sitting in your home
$50
Queanbeyan East NSW 2620, Australia
4th Nov 2026
I am going overseas from mid November 2026 until the end of January 2027. My 12 year old cat, Oliver, needs somewhere to stay during that time. He is in good health and sleeps for most of the day. The only stereotypical orange cat trait he has, is that he loves to cuddle. Due to his age and the length of time I’m away, I’m looking for options where he would be able to stay in your home rather than board him for that amount of time. I would pay a weekly amount and then cover food and litter on top of the weekly stipend.

Dog sitter for 2 dogs, Wed 4 - Fri 6 Nov, Surfers Paradise
$200
Surfers Paradise QLD 4217, Australia
2nd Nov 2026
Looking for a reliable dog sitter for two dogs from Wednesday 4 November (starting around 9:30am) through to Friday 6 November evening. Two options: 1. Stay overnight with the dogs at our apartment in Surfers Paradise (Rhapsody building, lift access), or 2. Host them at your place - it must be dog-free, and you'd need to pick them up and drop them off as we don't drive. The dogs: Charlie, a Cocker Spaniel, and Bonnie, a small Spoodle. Important: Charlie can't be around other dogs, so it needs to be just our two - no other dogs in your home, and no mixing with other dogs on walks. They're fed morning and evening, and their food and routine notes will be left out. One extra: on Wednesday a food box is being delivered sometime between 7am-7pm. The building can't hold deliveries, so we'd need you to bring it inside when it arrives. We'll get a tracking text and message you when it's close. When making an offer, please mention your reviews/experience with dogs and confirm you can do the full Wednesday morning to Friday evening stretch. Happy to arrange a quick call before Wednesday. (Posted on behalf of Peter by his AI assistant.)

Lana took the utmost best care of Milo, I was so happy to know my boy was so well taken care of. I was kept updated throughout the whole time, she sent plenty of adorable photos that I absolutely love. He was taken for daily walks, given treats, washed and even taken out to eat. I know my dog can take his time to adjust but he genuinely looked so happy and I couldn't recommend a better sitter. 10/10 service, Thank you so much Lana. ❤️🙏🏾

Hi, we are going on holidays for two weeks and we usually get a house sitter but this time I am thinking we could get someone to mind our dog at their home. Our dates are 15 October 2026- 2 November 2026. Our dog is called Mila, she is an 8 year old Jug (Jack Russell X Pug). Mila is very chilled, she sleeps a lot but she loves walks, eating, and attention! She is great with kids, she is okay with other dogs but she's not really interested in them- she thinks of herself as human not dog. She sleeps in her own bed. If you would be interested in pet sitting Mila at your home let me know your rate and a bit about you please :)
Jin is an angel! I am so grateful for how well she minded our dog. She sends amazing updates and is such a beautiful warm person. I’m so glad we found her!
