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.

I am desperately trying to find a pet sitter who could take my Dad’s elderly Staffy this Friday 17/4 until Tuesday 21/4. My Dad lives in Pioneer Bay and can drop Bonnie off anywhere between there and the airport on Friday afternoon and provide her with all the food she will need for those days. We are a little stressed at the moment, as he will be unable to visit his family on the Gold Coast for my 50th this weekend, if we can’t find anyone in time. Please reach out asap if you can help, thank you 😊

Regular house sitting and pet sitting overnight for between one and six nights throughout year while I am working interstate or overseas. Dates vary. Very loving female desexed 6 year old Staffordshire bull terrier/labrador that needs cuddles and attention and is happy mostly indoors except for a short daily walk. Also a 14 month old indoors only cat. Dog must be given two tablets each morning directly into mouth. Dog is very good with this but tablets cannot be put in food. Not suitable for someone who works all day. Must be home with dog at least half the day and overnight or at least regular call-ins during the day to let dog out into yard to go to toilet. Large comfortable Queenslander and yard. Stan/Foxtel/Netflix/Disney Plus. $85 per 24 hour period negotiable. Recent police check essential. If you are a kind responsible person who loves animals, especially staffies. Might be very convenient for an ACU student as ACU is close by. Close walking distance from Northgate and Virginia train stations. Bus is also available close by. Please let me know if you can help!
Jamal did a wonderful job, great attention to deal, very helpful and caring, careful approach. Would highly recommend.

*This is not a “stay at our house” task. I need someone, preferably someone who has cats or pets… or someone who doesn’t mind pet poop smell (haha) Will be gone from April 3 to 6. I need someone to come to our home, just check if our cats are okay, then leave. No feeding No cleaning No playing with cats Just check that they are okay. Just check that their food is not empty (food is in an automatic feeder). Please take pictures of the cats when you visit. Our cats are all vaccinated and friendly! So no need to worry about them. Picture is of one of my cats, Luna. I have 4 in total

Lottie is 4 years old and experienced some back pain recently. She is acting like her normal happy self now, but we need a dog sitter who will be careful to not allow her to jump off furniture, or run up/ down stairs. We need a pet sitter, at your house, from 2pm today until 10pm. - She won't need to be taken on a walk - She is not on any medication - She has separation anxiety and can't be left alone - She will need to be carried up and down stairs, and lifted onto and off the couch/bed - You will need to watch her to make sure she doesn't jump up or down - No other pets and no children please Lottie is a lovely, cuddly girl who needs a lap to sleep on while you watch TV this Saturday night (tonight). She is fairly easy to care for if you are looking forward to a quiet night at home. Her normal pet sitter is not available. We live in Five Dock and are happy to bring her to you.
Alexa took lovely care of my Lottie. Great communication. Happy to recommend.

Would not recommend. Lack of proper supervision. My dog did not seem well cared for when he arrived back home. We had originally planned for him to be dropped off, however when the date arrived he informed us he would not be able to drop him off up until we offered him more money.
