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.

I'm looking for a pet sitter to look after our 16 year old female cat in their own place while I'm away travelling. Requirements: - Date: I will be dropping her off on the 12th of May (likely in the afternoon) and picking her up on the 19th of May (likely in the morning). - Medication: She is on hyperthyroidism medication so needs to be administered a small thyroid tablet three times a day; once in the morning once in the late afternoon and once at late night with approx. 6-8 hours apart. I've found it easy to give mixed with creamy treat. - Need her own room as she can be quite timid in the beginning. Preference: - Close to Box Hill (Please tell me which suburb you are located in) - No other pet (Please tell me if you have other pet(s))

I need a regular dog sitter for my mini dachshund. He’s a rescue so he has a little separation anxiety but he’s an absolute sweetheart. Will curl up with you all day if you let him. I’d love if he had somewhere he enjoyed going when I need to go away. Let me know your rates and we can discuss a date to take him soon for a trial ☺️ He’s ok with other dogs, doesn’t show too much interest but I just don’t let him go to dog parks as I don’t know too much about his background. He’s great walking on a leash Just to clarify a couple of questions, this would be at your house as mine may be a little demanding. I don’t have outside access so he gets taken downstairs to do his business regularly so I’d love if you had a bit of grass he could access instead. He can be left alone if you work if he has outside access, he’s not house trained without the grass or being taken out just yet but I find that’s something we’re overcoming with the anxiety. This would be overnights as well as days. Preferably somewhere close to hawthorn 🙏🏻
William was amazing looking after my dog! Would highly recommend

I need a dog sitter to stay at my home in Kew on the 15th of November, between around 2-10pm. Aura and Tank are brother and sister, both Chow Chow's however extremely friendly and loving. Aura is a year and a half, Tank is a puppy at 5 months. Realistically I just need somoene to be around the home, let them in and out as well as feed them around 6pm. Aura will be outside the majority of the time, and Tank will most likely want to be your shadow. They will both have been exercised and nice and tired. Let me know if this is of interest, and we can talk further! Thank you - Jake
Nat was great, from start to finish. My dogs took extreme liking to her relaxed energy and couldn’t have left them in safer hands. Highly recommend.

We have a 3 year old male labradoodle (fully house trained, chipped, vaccinated) and with extremely good temperament and we need an experienced dog sitter to look after him for 3 nights until 1 Jan. He is mainly an indoor dog but loves outdoor walks. The dog needs to be dropped back to our home in Kew on the 1st Jan between 4pm and 5 pm. We will supply his bedding, food and toys. He sleeps indoors and is scared of thunder and fire works so def needs to be indoors on the night of 31st. Thank you

I am visiting my family overseas over the Christmas holiday (20 dec - 6 Jan) and looking for someone to take care of my cat (Yen) during this time. I will drop her off on the morning of 20 dec and pick her up 6 jan afternoon at your place. Yen might not be the easiest cat to handle because she is very shy and anxious in a new place and with people, so it might take her a couple of days to feel more normal, therefore I am also looking for someone who can give her space when she needs it. Due to this, I am also looking for a pet sitter who does not currently have another cat, dog, or children. She's also an indoor only cat. I will provide her with food, toys and litter, and the litter box. Would definitely prefer someone experienced with cat and located not too far from Box Hill area. Let me know if this sounds like a great job for you! Cheers!
Jee Wee wonderfully took care of my cat for a couple of weeks. He provided regular updates and my cat was also happy to stay with him.
