Karla and her family were amazing. Little ‘Betty’ was very well cared for and loved. I can’t thank you enough. It was tough leaving our puppy so soon but have no hesitation in recommending Karla and using her again if we need to. 😊

Shay has been an amazing sitter, she has taken great care of my fur baby and my home. She has been in continuous touch and has done everything I asked for and more, so would definitely recommend her as a sitter and will be very happy to be contacted for a verbal referral if wanted. Rette Mak

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.

Looking for someone who might be able to have my kelpie Arnold for the day whilst we go up to Perisher. His regular place was full. He is fine with most dogs except Staffies but mainly loves humans and will lay at your feet all day for a pat. Loves a run or a walk. Storm phobic but none predicted. I’m only up the mountain if any issues I can come back down. He can be a Houdini and jump most fencing so ideally someone who can be with him do the day. He hasn’t jumped colourbond for several weeks as put on a little bit of weight but can’t guarantee he won’t.

URGENT: Pet sit my pup from 30 May - 1 June 2025 (stay in my home)

Red Hill, Queensland
28th May 2025
My partner and I will be out of town for a few days at the end of this week, leaving Friday 30 May and coming back Sunday 1 June. I need someone to help look after my 8 month old Spoodle puppy Roux by staying at our home over the weekend until we return Sunday evening. Roux is the most affectionate dog you’ll ever meet. All she wants is pats and love! She’ll need a 30-40 min walk at least once a day and to be given her meals (twice a day). She’s not a really been left alone much so we will need whoever is staying with her to be home for the duration of the weekend unless for very short periods (like 15 mins). She is fully toilet trained - you’ll have to put puppy pads out on our deck and leave the door open and she knows to run out there and do her business on the puppy pads. You’ll need to swap out the puppy pads occasionally and we’ll leave a stack for you. You’ll be staying in our small 2 bedroom flat in Red Hill and use it like it’s your own. And you’ll have the cutest companion to keep you company :)


Claudia and her husband Fab took such good care of my little puppy. We got regular updates, communication was responsive and easy and everything went so smoothly. Definitely recommend ❤️❤️❤️ what a lovely and reliable couple!

West Melbourne VIC, Australia

Hi there! I’m looking for someone to take care of my sweet, older dog Honey while I’m away. 15-21st May 7 days I would prefer someone local around north/west melbourne cbd Honey is very easy-going and sleeps most of the day. She just needs: 🐾 A toilet break once a day 🐾 Minimal walking (she’s a senior and doesn’t need much exercise) 🐾 Some gentle company and love She’s calm, friendly, and low-maintenance — perfect for someone who enjoys a relaxed companion. Ideally, you can look after her in your own home, but I’m open to other arrangements. All food, supplies, and anything she needs will be provided. I travel alot so this potentially can be a longterm partnership. If you’re a dog lover and have experience with older dogs, I’d love to hear from you!


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!

Hi, I have an apartment inspection today I forgot about and I need someone to watch my dog from 12.00pm untill 6.00pm tonight. I can pick her up from you but you would have to pick her up from mine, door is unlocked. She is an extremely friendly samoid, because she is a pure breed she is not desexed so if you have other dogs be mindful of this. You would also have to grab her lead, water and food bowl and her matterss Kind regards, Daniel Amundsen
