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.

We are looking for an in-home pet sitter for our Australian Shepherd and rescue cat from 28th May - 28th June 2024, whilst we are away. We are located in the Illawarra. Our Australian Shepherd has a lovely temperament, however can be anxious around other dogs when on walks, so we would like someone who has either personal or professional experience in dealing with this. He is quite a large Australian Shepherd, so if you are someone who is only used to walking small dogs, then this probably wouldnt be the best fit. Our cat on the other hand, is the most relaxed cat and you wont even notice she is there and she is stricly an indoor cat. If available, please let me know 😊

Hi, I'm looking for a someone to take care of my 12 week old rottweiler puppy at their home on Thursday the 15th December. Ideally someone with experience with dogs. I would need you to pick up and drop her off. There is potential for this to be a recurring task if you enjoy it. Her name is Dora, and she is extremely friendly and sociable with other dogs/cats/humans. She is not house trained yet, but can pee outside if you command toilet. I take her out every 30 mins or so. She knows sit, lay, shake, down and leave it. She is learning how to walk on leash, so we would prefer you not to walk her. She loves tug of war and running outside instead for now :) She can be bitey when she gets the zoomies (not aggressively), so if she does get overexcited I give her a toy to redirect the energy. Thanks! - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 15 December 2022

Hi there, My partner and i are going away for 4 weeks over July/August. We are looking for someone to look after our 6 year old Australian Shepherd, Hugo. Hugo is very friendly and is a real people person, however is very anxious around other dogs. He would either need to stay at someone's home who doesnt have any other pets, or be looked after at our own home. As he is a working dog, he would ideally need a walk every day or every other day if possible. Quieter areas, that don't have alot of dog walkers are preferable, as he is not a fan of other dogs. We will provide all food and treats for Hugo whilst we are away. If you are interested, or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks 😊 - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 18 August 2022
