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.

Hi, I have an apartment inspection today I forgot about and I need someone to watch my dog from 12.00pm untill 6.00pm tonight. I can pick her up from you but you would have to pick her up from mine, door is unlocked.

Pet Sitter Needed for Adorable Maltese Shih Tzu
$100
Sydney NSW, Australia
28th Mar 2025
We need a kind person to look after our small and friendly Maltese Shih Tzu from April 11th to 14th. He loves being around people, kids, and other dogs. He's small (under 6kg), loves sitting on laps, or just staying close to someone. He’s a great listener, very well-behaved, and so easy to care for that you'll hardly notice he's there! It would be perfect if you live near Ultimo or the city, making it easy for us to drop him off and pick him up. Alternatively, you can pick him up on the morning of the 11th and bring him back on the 14th. If you really love dogs, this could be a fun job for you!


Max had a great time! He got plenty of cuddles, love, and care. Highly recommend!
