Top Pet Sitting related questions

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.

Dog sit at your house near Potts Point/Elizabeth Bay for 24hr

Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011, Australia

31st May 2026

I need an experienced professional dog lover to watch my sweet and well trained, easy-to-manage (but large-for-the-area) shepherd mix while I move apartments. Doug-fir is a 35kg mix of Australian Shepherd and Queensland Cattle Dog with German Shepherd and Collie. He knows commands and walks well on-leash in Sydney parks. We are still working on recall, since he moved here from the California wilderness late last year, so off-leash is not yet an option. I am moving from Rockwall Crescent in Potts Point to Holdsworth Ave. in Elizabeth Bay on Tuesday 9 June. I need to keep the dog out from underfoot and avoid his complicating the removalists’ work. I’m aiming to have him watched in the neighbourhood from any time Monday evening through around 6pm Tuesday evening, when he can come to the new apartment. One morning walk of 20-30 minutes would be required; other walks would be handled by his regular walkers. It would be ideal if you had some flexibility on the Monday and Wednesday in case we need you for longer - I am still locking in removalists and they are all over the map on how long the full move (pack-load-unload-unpack) will take. But for now I am happy to hire for this 24hr window. If this works out well, I am looking for someone I can trust as a regular sitter during periodic trips out of town. In those cases it may be an option to stay at my apartment, which is lovely. This job is specifically for people with experience caring for and walking larger dogs, with references available to call or email. Thank you for considering it.

URGENT Overnight Dog Sitting Needed Tonight – Brisbane – For Beautiful Senior Dog 🐶 Hi there, I am urgently looking for someone caring and reliable to look after our beloved dog Delilah May overnight tonight. Delilah May is a 13-year-old Rottweiler cross Cattle Dog who is extremely well behaved, fully house trained, and very well trained overall. She has wonderful manners and will let you know when she needs to go to the toilet. Deli is very loved and honestly a little spoilt ❤️ She enjoys attention, cuddles, and being around people. She is great with children and other dogs, however she is not good with cats, so a cat-free home is essential. About Delilah: • 13 years old • Rottweiler x Cattle Dog • House trained • Friendly and affectionate • Well behaved indoors • Good with children and dogs • Not suitable around cats • Sleeps most of the time due to her age We are looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced with dogs, especially larger breeds. Please message if you are available tonight and can provide a safe, loving environment for her. Thank you 🐾
