Recent Pet Sitting reviews in East Melbourne
Nerius is ana exceptional pet sitter. Easy to talk to, super friendly and an absolute delight. He picked our pup up on time, took care of him, even took him on a hike, socialised him and dropped him at our convenience. Thankful that we found him so we don’t have to look for any other pet sitter from now on. Can’t get any better than this, 5 stars!

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, We have a little 7month old kitty. My wife has recently flown overseas, hence our kitty is alone at home when I go to work. We are looking for someone to takecare of Simi while l'm at work. Ideally I will drop her off at 8am and pick her up at 7pm from the host's location. We are happy to provide food and litter. Simi is an indoor kitten, she happy to play by herself, and loves interacting with people. She is very well dehaved, doesn't scratch and destroy anything. We feed her once in 3/4hours, a small portion or liquid and solid food mixed together We would be glad if someone near Hawthorn or Bayswater is willing to keep her during the work hours. Thank for checking this ad.

Dog walking, occasional dog sitting for two staffies

Templestowe Lower VIC, Australia

I’m looking for someone local who can occasionally walk/feed/dogsit/overnight stay my two cheeky staffies. Lately I’ve been very busy and it would be great to find someone reliable and trustworthy to give them some extra care. They are very friendly and require lots of affection and attention and don’t like to be left alone for long periods so I’d like them to become familiar with someone willing to spend some time with them. Generally well behaved but also very strong and boisterous when excited so would need someone with experience with dogs. Obviously you’d be welcome to spend time/stay at my house when required as I’d much prefer them stay on my property where they are comfortable. Requirements will differ depending on the my circumstances as sometimes they may only need walking or feeding or potentially more attention and care (ie overnight stay or at least time spent with them in the evening and then again the following day/evening) No set times or dates right at this moment however I often need help so I’m happy to pay someone for a meet and greet/walk with Kingston and bee whenever it suits to see if we can work something out 😊
