Top Pet Care related questions
The average cost of pet care services on Airtasker is $25 to $140, but it could cost more or less than this. The price will depend on the service you need, what kind of pet you have, and how much time is needed to complete your task. For example, the rates for dog sitting can start at $25. Cat sitter rates can range from $20 to $30 per day. Specify the type of service you need to get the right quote and find a Tasker offering pet care in your area.
Pet carers 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.
No qualifications are necessary to be a pet carer, but a love for animals and a caring personality helps. You may find a pet-minding courses to formalize their experience. However, it is recommended to do a background check and determine if the Tasker has the right experience or qualifications for your task.
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 leashes, 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.
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 favorite blanket, toys or treats to keep them from feeling stressed during their stay.Â
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 then ends when you retrieve them or have them fetched. 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 hired hands, you can hire a Tasker to help. 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 for hire. 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 specialize 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 type 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.

What do pet care services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets - 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, pet sitters, or even pet food delivery, Airtasker can connect you with professionals offering pet care in your area.Â
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. Some can even offer a day camp with different activities for dogs or cats. 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 service, 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. While walking with their canine companion, 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 socialization. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behavior. 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. Specialized 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 for a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training can help to improve your dog’s behaviors such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialize with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enroll their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behavior early on.
