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.

Looking for a dog sitter and / or trainer for 10 month old recently adopted ( a week ago ) Ruby, Red cattle dog. Very smart! Loves to be with people which means when I leave the house, she barks :( so..

She is reactive to dogs on leads - training her out of this. She's not used to water / swimming as yet, also working on that. Is good at playing with other dogs off leads. Tries to chase birds, also training out of this and excitable, so caution required when off lead in case she goes running! Loves to chase a ball etc and responsive to treats and training quickly, her recall is ok but if she is smelling something or wants to play with another dog etc she needs more work on this :) She is a real sweetie and loves a cuddle and happy to sit and sleep and follow you around all day too I am in the Junction Newcastle - happy to have you here working from my home or popping in and out or I can drop her to you. - Due date: Needs to be done on Sunday, 18 December 2022

Regular dog sitting

$30

Hamilton NSW, Australia

8th Jan 2022

Hi! I'm looking for a regular dog sitter for my lazy 5yo labrador cross named Tigs. I work a 7 on, 7 off schedule, so this dog sitting would be for 3-4 days a week every fortnight (almost always Thurs-Sun, starting on 10th Feb). I'd need to drop him off at 7am and pick him up about 9pm at night those days. He's a chill dog who is fine to be left alone for a few hours, completely house trained and non-descructive, but given that I work long hours I'd prefer to have him looked after those days. I'm hoping for an ongoing service and happy to negotiate, but would be looking for something like $30-35 dollars per day. Cheers and hoping to find someone who loves dogs as much as I do! - Due date: Flexible

Thanks Neil! Looking forward to completing more work with you
