Si was very polite, professional and attentive. He explained to me what he was going to do and why. Took his time and did deliver the goods. My fish who has not swim freely for 5 days, started swimming and seemed relaxed and is now swimming in the middle of the tank. I would highly recommend Si to anyone who wants to have their aquarium checked and cleaned.

Top Pet Care related questions
The average cost of pet care services in the United Kingdom is £5 to £50, but it could cost more or less than this. The price of your pet care services will depend on the service you need, what kind of pet you have, and how much time is needed to complete your task. For instance, the cost of hiring dog walkers can range from £5 to £25. The cost of dog sitting or other types of pet sitters can start at £10. Be sure to specify the type of service in your task to find the right Tasker offering pet care in your area.
Pet care services can help with all aspects of keeping your pet happy and healthy. Depending on your pet, services can include feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning/washing, pet sitting, or doggy day care.
Pet carers generally take care of dogs or cats, but many are experienced in a wide range of animals, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, rodents, fish, and reptiles.
No qualifications are necessary to be a pet carer, but a love for animals and a caring personality helps. You may find a pet care provider who has done pet-minding courses to formalise their experience.
It depends on whether your pet care is happening at home or in a new environment. Usually, if your pet is being cared for at your home, they’ll use their existing items (like leads, collars, and feeding bowls). But if your Tasker is caring for the pet in a new environment or using special tools (like grooming tools), they’ll usually use their own.
Hiring pet care services means your pet can still get the care, comfort, and attention it needs when you’re away on holiday, working, or just too busy. Your pet can get the companionship and care they need to be happy and healthy.
Top Pet Boarding related questions
In most cases, no. The pet boarding specialist brings years of experience and has honed their skills by boarding many different species of pets, each with different temperaments and needs. You can expect your hired specialist to have all the tools and equipment ready, although you can supply items that can help make their job easier - this can include your pet’s favourite blanket, toys or treats to keep them from feeling stressed during their stay.
That depends on how long you’ve scheduled your pet for its boarding services. The service begins as soon as you drop off your pet at the pet boarding facility and ends when you collect them or have them brought back to you. This can take a minimum of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on how long you’ve booked your pet for its stay at the boarding facility.
Yes! If you offer pet boarding services and need extra help, you can hire a Tasker to assist. You can find Taskers for this and other related tasks like pet grooming, pet transport, pet feeding, and pet sitting services. It’s possible to hire Taskers even for complex and unusual jobs like drone repair. There’s always an experienced Tasker standing by to help. Just make a post with all the essential details to attract suitable Taskers.
The usual approach is to use a search engine and pore through many other websites, but there’s a faster, more convenient way: sign up on Airtasker and make a post on our platform. Potential dog boarding experts will ask about your pet, what sort of care you want for them and give you a free quote. You can see reviews and ratings on them before you hire one, and negotiate the price.
No, you can find pet boarding facilities and expert service providers for other species as well. There are pet boarding facilities and services that specialise in many species like birds, snakes, lizards or other reptiles. You may even see boarding facilities exclusive to rabbits and guinea pigs! The key to finding the right boarding service is to make a post on Airtasker. Just include all the details about your pet and the sort of care you want for them.
If the pet boarding facility is nearby, schedule a visit to see the facility and bring your pet along. Ask the staff about their services and observe how the other pets are treated. Look for attentive, caring staff, adequate living space, and that the pets get enough ventilation, food and water. On Airtasker, pet boarding services have reviews and ratings; you can also see comments from past clients for your peace of mind
Suggested reads about Pet Care
What do pet services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets or animals - they can also help with boarding, companionship, and exercise. Importantly, they can help you look after your pet if you’re unable to or if you’ll be away. Whether you're looking for dog walkers or pet sitters, Airtasker can connect you with Taskers offering pet care around you.
Here are a range of pet care services available to help with your pet:
Pet sitting & boarding
Most pet owners consider boarding kennels for their pets when they’re heading away overnight or for an extended period, but your pet can also stay in your home or in the home of a registered pet sitter. Some pet boarding services also offer a day care service for those pets that don’t like to be left alone during the day. At a pet boarding service, your pet will receive food, exercise, and comfortable bedding as well as the company of people and dogs around them. There may also be music and air conditioning in some places. Or if you choose pet, dog, or cat sitting services, your pet can stay in familiar surroundings and keep to their routine. This is especially helpful for anxious pets or those needing constant supervision.
Dog walking & exercise
If you’re working long hours or heading away on holiday, dog walking services can help your pooch get their daily workout to keep them happy and healthy. During the walk, they’ll burn off energy and ward off feelings of boredom and restlessness when they’re back home alone. You can book dog walking as a one-off or regular service, and your dog may be walked with others if it’s comfortable with socialisation. Dog walkers will use your dog’s normal collar and leash, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes before bringing them safely back into your home or yard.
Washing & grooming
Washing and grooming are necessary for every pet’s health and well-being. Specialised pet grooming (including cat grooming and dog grooming) services are equipped to bathe your pet with minimal mess and fuss. Your pet groomer will wash and dry your pet’s coat, clip fur, trim nails, and administer any pest treatments in a single appointment. You’ll likely need to book pet grooming around once a month, ensuring you brush your pet’s fur to keep it clear of dirt between appointments.
Dog training
Getting help with dog training can be the quickest way to a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training can help to improve your dog’s behaviours such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialise with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enrol their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behaviour early on.

Hi! Thank you so much for helping with the fish. Here are the steps to save them:Get the Equipment: Grab the mop bucket from the end of the hallway (left of the entrance). Find the siphon tube with the orange bubble on white table.Remove the Old Water: Place the bucket on the floor. Submerge one end of the tube into the tank, put the other end in the bucket, and squeeze the orange bubble a few times to start the flow. Fill 3/4 of the bucket.Pour Out on Plants: Take the bucket outside and pour the dirty water onto the plants (it makes great fertilizer!).Fill with Fresh Water: Fill the bucket 3/4 full with tap water. Try to match the warmth of the tank water with your hand.ADD CHEMICALS (CRITICAL DOSAGES): You can find all the bottles under the aquarium table. Do NOT use a full kitchen cup, as this will overdose the small tank. Instead, use the bottle caps to measure into the bucket:Prime: Add 1/4 of a cap (up to the first thread line inside the cap).Stability: Add 1/4 of a cap.Water Conditioner (Dechlorinator): Add 1/4 of a cap as well.Refill the Tank: Mix the water well. Pour it into the tank very slowly and gently so you don't disturb the gravel or plants.Thank you so much, you are saving their lives!
