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.

Hello there! I’m looking for someone to take my lilah girl from the 17th to the 23rd of April! I’ll be coming back after 6:30pm on the 23rd. She’s a 9 month chihuahua, foxy mix and so full of energy 🔆 While she gets it right most of the time she will still have some accidents on carpet. If the door is left ajar she will go out by herself or will most of the time pace at the door when she needs to go. I’d ideally want someone that works from home or works short shifts and that can short walk her daily. She’s not the best with other dogs as she’s young and has had almost no socialising with animals other than my housemates kitten (they are good friends) so cats are okay 🐱 While I don’t mind if there are other dogs in the house her size I will leave it up to you to introduce as it causes me to much anxiety. In saying this we are starting doggy school so don’t come for me 😂 I will provide everything she needs. Price is all together not per day. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you! 🥰
An absolute gem!! Looked after my girl so well, made me feel super comfortable about leaving her and wanted to know every detail to make sure Lilah had a good stay! Just all over great!! 💗

I'm going away for the long weekend (Friday 08/03 - Sunday 10/03) and need someone to care for my 2 dogs. My boys are Chompers (8yo Kelpie x Whippet) and Kenai (6yo Malamute x Husky). Both are house trained and Kenai is crate trained. They need to be fed breakfast everyday and let outside to go to the toilet/have a play twice a day (once in the morning before breakfast and once in the evening before bed). I'm happy to provide a demonstration of their routine either in person or record a series of videos. Their routine would take 1-1.5 hours a day.
Elmark was amazing! He was easy to communicate and schedule with. He kept me in the loop with absolutely everything which is perfect for loving dog parents. I would receive photos and videos every day of my dogs being played with and fed, and they were very obviously very happy to be with Elmark. Amazing Tasker!

We are going away and need someone to petsit our 20 year old silky terrier Muffy in our Helensvale home from Saturday the 31st March to Tuesday the 3rd April.
Mandy did a fantastic job once again caring for our old dog Muffy. It is lovely to feel rest assured that she is in capable hands so we can relax and enjoy our holidays. Mandy was also respectful again of our home and left it tidy. She is highly trustworthy and would recommend her for any position.
