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.

Pet Sitter during Christmas and New Years
$50
Travancore VIC 3032, Australia
2nd Dec 2025
Hi there! I’m looking for a sitter for my husky, Blaze, from 24 December 2025 to 13 January 2026. Blaze needs two walks a day and does best with someone who can spend a bit of time with him. Ideally, I’m hoping to find someone who can stay at my place in Travancore, but I’m also open to boarding if you have a secure backyard and good parks nearby. He is used to me working 9 to 5 pm everyday except weekends. Ideally I’d like someone who can mirror the same. I can offer $40-$50 per night. Blaze is gentle, friendly, and very easy to look after. He loves people, settles well at home, and is used to routine. Happy to organise a meet-and-greet and answer any questions about his care. If you’re available during this period, please let me know — I’d be really grateful to connect. Thank you!

Hi, I need someone to sit and take my dog Max for a day about 10am until around 9pm whilst I try sleep for nightshift. Walk to a local park between 4-7pm for 30-45mins to give him a run. He is an easy and friendly dog to walk, play fetch with. I’ve had last minute change of plans with friends going away that usually take him for me while on nightshifts. Would start with day sitting at your house/work and he will stay at home here at night… but potentially an overnight stay at your home only if you’re comfortable with that (obviously would pay additional $) - price negotiable of course if able to pick up/drop off etc even for daysit. He is a Cavoodle… so he is clingy for humans and won’t run away from you, and loves cuddles. He is very easy off leash. Will follow you around including hikes. Great also for dog friendly office spaces. Well toilet trained! Loves his ball and a (short distance) game of fetch. Loves kids for this reason too! Outsourcing on airtasker only as last minute change of plan with my friends, and after day 2 of me trying to sleep during the day he gets bored and keen to play fetch which really disrupts my sleep schedule. He is definitely my fur-baby, so anyone taking him will need to be appropriately vetted (excuse the pun lol). Ideally only those in nearby areas. Great people that have a great time with him open for recurring dogsits! :)
Emilie was so great with my doggo, gave me update pics and is really trustworthy. Highly recommend.
