Thank you Linda for taking good care of my cat while away. I appreciated receiving photos and updates everyday!

Jen was absolutely amazing with our 2 dogs. We had play date meeting to make sure the dogs were happy to stay with Jen and go through each of their behaviours and routine. They loved being with her. Jen went above in beyond even looking after our turtle - Gerald while we were away. They loved their time away as much as we did enjoy our holiday knowing they were well looked after. Jen sent updates and pictures of them to us regularly. We will definitely be using her services again.

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.

Hey All, I’m looking for an URGENT good dog sitter (at your house) from tonight to Saturday! This is Nero, my absolutely amazing 3 y.o Belgian Malinois. He is an absolute wonderful and charming pup and would love to hang out with someone for the week! Firstly he is both an indoor/outside dog! He is super sweet and friendly with other dogs! He does have a lot of energy though that needs to be burned out so it would be good if he gets one walk a day! At home he is super chilled and usually just relaxes on his bed although he will sleep anywhere, preferably as close to you as he can be haha! He also lives with children and is super gentle. If you are interested in keeping this Teddy Bear company than send an offer and a bit about your place! I am also more than happy to drive him to you, cheers 😊 - Due date: Needs to be done on Monday, 4 December 2023

Enoggera QLD, Australia

I am going to be away next week (from the 3rd to the 11th of November) and need someone to visit my house to check up on my indoor cats. I have an automatic feeder and water bubbler, so really all I would need is somebody to clean out their litter, maybe give them some wet food and make sure their dry food and water levels aren't low. The cats will probably hide when they hear a stranger enter, but some wet food might tempt them out of hiding if you'd like to see them. I will leave out multiple litters, so you wouldn't need to visit them every day (unless you can/wanted to) but at least 3 times or every second day would be ideal. Usually a friend of mine would visit while I'm away, but they are unavailable this time so I'd like to find someone who I can trust in the house with my little fur babies :) - Due date: Before Saturday, 11 November 2023


Bella did a great job of taking care of my cats while I was away for a week. She was very quick to respond to messages and followed all instructions perfectly.

Preferably around the Hampton/sandringham area. If you are interested please let me know your pricing and we can set up a meet and greet/trial. Thanks 😊 - Due date: Flexible

Dog sitter for puppy on Sundays weekly
$90
Maroubra NSW, Australia
24th Oct 2023
Hello Im Tracey and I have the most gorgeous 3 1/2 month old Doxiepoo called Mischi (dachshund and toy poodle) so she's a small pup. She has her energy spurts, loves kisses, is affectionate, a bit naughty naturally but is really starting to settle down and obeys a few commands. She also has her sleeps during the day and sleeps through the whole night with no issues. I attend Jubilee Church at Waverley on Sundays and afterwards a group of us go out for lunch. I haven't been able to attend the lunches as I get too concerned about Mischi being alone fortoo long. She gets distressed when I leave her. Having said that she bonds with people easily especially women. My neighbour has minded her occasionally and there have been no separation anxiety issues. I am searching for someone that can mind her on Sundays' from approximately 9.30am (Church starts at 10am) until around 3.30pm. You would need an ABN for me to arrange payment. I don't mind her being around another small friendly dog but no big dogs or small children. She is fully vaccinated and microchipped and getting pretty good with the toilet training. There may be other casual occasions when I would need her minded as well. Please get back to me if this is something that interests you. Thank you, Tracey Brown


I didn’t end up using Emma as my friend minded my pup instead. When I met her she was very nice and I think would care well for other pets. I was a bit concerned that her dog was not deserved and that I was not told that upfront. Other than that she seemed lovely.
