Jin was an excellent carer for our two corgis. We were on holiday for three weeks and she took the best care for them taking them for long walks and keeping them entertained. Jin will go above and beyond with daily pics while we were on holiday. Highly recommend her services.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Honey received! Jee Wee was incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed and happy when I got back such a great sign! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitter. Will definitely book again!

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.

Regular Dog Walker & Future Holiday Pet Sitter – Underdale
$25
Underdale SA 5032, Australia
2nd Jul 2026
Hi! I'm looking for a reliable, caring and experienced dog walker for my 10-year-old male Husky, Max. Max is a friendly and well-socialised dog who loves people and enjoys getting out for a walk. He's older now, so he has a calm temperament and enjoys a relaxed 30–45 minute walk rather than high-intensity exercise. What I'm looking for: A regular dog walker for ongoing walks (days and times can be discussed) Someone experienced with larger breeds is preferred Reliable, trustworthy and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs I'll generally be home when you arrive, so you'll simply be picking Max up from my house, taking him for his walk and bringing him back. I'm also hoping to find someone who may be available for short-term holiday care in the future. Ideally, I'd love Max to build a relationship with one person he knows and trusts, rather than using different carers each time I'm away. Please include in your offer: Your experience with dogs Your availability Your rate for a 30-minute walk Whether you offer overnight or holiday pet sitting Budget: Around $25–30 per 30-minute walk, but I'm happy to discuss with the right person. If you're local to Underdale or the surrounding suburbs, that's a bonus. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Erin was punctual and great in communication. She did a great job managing my dog.

Hey, I’m going away from the 5th–9th of July this year and I’m looking for someone who might be able to take and look after my sausage dog while I’m away. He’s a really chill dog and doesn’t require much maintenance — he mainly just needs feeding, and walking once or twice throughout that those dates. It would honestly mean a lot if anyone could help out. Thank you so much! $50 per day (we can supply dog food for you and collar + leash) Please ask any questions
Martin was great! Funny guy, he looked after my dog when I was desperate trying to find a dog kennel, he’s the best, highly recommend as a professional!!! :)

Looking for someone to watch my two dogs from 12-4:30pm on Saturday 27th as my usual sitter had to pull out. Sitting will be at our house as both dogs become reactive in new environments. At home, both dogs are relaxed and cuddly. One will probably beg to play fetch the whole time while the other snoozes on the couch beside you. No need to walk them just keeping them company for a few hours.
My dogs had a great time! Thank you so much!!
