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.

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.

Hello, I need someone to look after my 9 month of cavoodle for 10 days over Christmas (18/12-28/12) Milo is an absolute gem and full of life, raise with young children and other dogs, Milo loves other dogs but can be a bit overbearing (jumping and chasing) He is house trained and sleeps in a crate overnight, all food will be supplied. This will need to be done in your home. Walks are a bonus but a game of fetch in the garden will suffice if not possible, he loves all the cuddles and all the treats.

Hurstville, New South Wales
1st Nov 2025
We’re looking for a caring and reliable dog lover to help look after our two older dogs. They’re very gentle (don’t bite or scratch) but can be a bit shy at first, so we’d like to start with a short trial to make sure everyone’s comfortable. The listed price is just for a short meet and greet (15 minutes) at your place. If that goes well, there may be the opportunity for a longer-term arrangement (about 6 weeks) in December–January while we’re away. Details: * Two senior dogs, friendly but a little timid at first * No walking required – they mostly rest indoors * We can provide all food (mainly chicken drumsticks + wet sachets), or you can give them your choice of food * They need eye drops and pills twice daily Please let us know: * When you would be available for the meet and greet * Your availability over the December–January period * Price (if engaged for the six-week period)

I'm looking for someone with previous pet sitting experience to care for our 4 pets at our house for 10 nights over the christmas period. We have 2 dogs, Eevee (2 years) and Juno (4 months). They are well behaved and need a walk once a day and need to be fed twice a day. Their schedule is pretty flexible and you don't have to be home with them the whole day. We also have two rabbits who are quiet. They need to be feed twice a day and litter trays changed every 3rd day. Happy to discuss the details further. Would be a bonus if you have a police check or working with children check.

Whitfield QLD, Australia

Hi, We’re looking for someone who would pet sit our dog from the evening of Thursday 25/09 and pick up on Monday morning 29/09. Our dog is a lovely, 10 year old, mixed breed. She’s very friendly. She has never gotten in a fight, never bitten anyone. She loves pats. She doesn’t bark much. She loves kids. We haven’t tested her with cats, so I can’t comment. She gets frightened during thunderstorms so has to be kept inside if there is thunder around. She’s a lovely dog and would make a good companion for a few days. Ideally looking for someone who is close to our home in Whitfield. We do regularly require pet sitters, so if it worked well it could be an option again for the future if you were interested. Cheers
We are grateful to Mark for his wonderful care of our dog. Every step was smooth and his communication was excellent, including photo updates. We would absolutely recommend him and hope to book him again in the future.

My daughter has two Cavalier's Ralph & Willow who need looking after for one week whilst she is working at Mount Buller. Starting today if possible until next Saturday. I am unable to have them in my apartment. All food and their bed will be provided. They are both 8 years old and the best of friends. Willow loves a cuddle and a walk. Ralph is deaf but a happy boy and loves his food. They are both good with other animals and children as they have the sweetest nature. Unfortunately, they cannot stay in their own home during this period so you must be prepared to have them in your own home. We can drop off today when convenient.
Samantha and her son cared for our two cavaliers whilst our daughter was working. They did a wonderful job. Thank you so much
