Sil and his family has taken great care of my furbaby when we were away. The family was reliable, provided regular communication and photos update throughout the stay - Sil and family even went above and beyond when we were stuck overseas and couldn't make it back in time for the pick up. I came to Sil for all of the good reviews on his profile and was certainly did not disappoint, highly recommend for any tasks. Thank you for your amazing work! Tito seemed like he had a great stay there and no doubt you will be our go-to from now on.

What do pet care services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets or animals - they can also help with boarding, companionship, and exercise. Importantly, they can help you look after your pet if you’re unable to or if you’ll be away. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or someone to help you take care of a puppy when you're at work, Airtasker can connect you with the right professionals.
Here are a range of pet services available to help with your beloved animals:
Pet sitting & boarding
Most pet owners consider boarding kennels for their pets when they’re heading away overnight or for an extended period, but your pet can also stay in your home or in the home of a registered pet sitter. Some pet boarding services also offer a day care service for those pets that don’t like to be left alone during the day. At a pet boarding service, your pet will receive food, exercise, and comfortable bedding as well as the company of people and dogs around them. There may also be music and air conditioning in some places. Or if you choose a dog, reptile boarding, or cat sitting service, your pet can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their routine with a dedicated pet sitter in your own place. This is especially helpful for anxious pets or those needing constant supervision.
Dog walking & exercise
If you’re working long hours or heading away on holiday, dog walking services can help your pooch get their daily workout to keep them happy and healthy. During the walk, they’ll burn off energy and ward off feelings of boredom and restlessness when they’re back home alone. You can book dog walking as a one-off or regular service, and your dog may be walked with others if it’s comfortable with socialisation. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes to an hour before bringing them safely back into your home or yard.
Washing & grooming
Washing and grooming are necessary for every pet’s health and well-being. Specialised pet grooming (including cat grooming and dog grooming) services are equipped to bathe your pet with minimal mess and fuss. Your pet groomer will wash and dry your pet’s coat, clip fur, trim nails, and administer any pest treatments in a single appointment. You’ll likely need to book pet grooming around once a month, ensuring you brush your pet’s fur to keep it clear of dirt between appointments.
Dog training
Getting help with dog training can be the quickest way to a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training will help to improve your dog’s behaviours such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialise with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enrol their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behaviour early on.

$100
Tarneit VIC, Australia
27th Dec 2025
Dog sitter needed urgently (female only) - 1/1/25 to 10/1/25 | Tarneit, VIC 3029 Looking for a gentle, patient dog person to stay in our home in Tarneit (3029) and care for Toto (13) - a sweet senior rescue boy who’s slow to trust but incredibly loyal once he feels safe. No walks needed, he prefers to stay at home and has the back yard. Just feed him twice daily, give him time to warm up, and keep him company at home. He may cry the first day or two while settling, but he comes around with calm reassurance and routine. You’ll be staying in the guest room with a queen bed in a clean, easy 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom townhouse. Only one small task - pop Toto in the garage during a short inspection on the 3rd and 10th of Jan, Saturday 11:45–12:30pm. This is short notice as unexpectedly in NZ for a funeral. $100 for the full stay and a fixed price due to urgent, unexpected death of immediate family member. Toto has low requirements as a 13 yr old rescue dog if you’re a pro with rescues. If this sounds like you and you’re available Jan 1-10th please message. We’d be so grateful. Thanks!
Wiring on fish tank filter

Point Cook VIC, Australia
27th Dec 2025
Picked up 2nd hand fish tank which came with a very large filter which I don't think was being used. Opened the connection to remove 2 of the wires but the main wire to the pump only has the brown wire wired in. Is the blue and yellow & green wires also meant to be wired in? Not sure if they have just come out?
