Plus, a long-term pet sitter may also be available to help with house sitting while you’re away for long periods of time.
It depends on the arrangement offered by your pet sitter and what you and your pet feel more comfortable with. You might meet with your pet sitter before you commit to help you decide what option will work best for everyone.

For certain types of tasks, you may need someone who has a specialist licence and also additional insurance. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

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.

I’m looking for someone that can clean my house and keep my tiny dog company one day a week for 5 hours. Preferably a Wednesday or Thursday. The clean would be about 2.5 hours which can be broken up over a 5 hour time period, or complete the clean then relax, study etc while cuddling my dog for the rest of the time! Looking for an experienced cleaner with references please. **Edit to add more info given lots of questions** - house is large but I don’t need the whole house cleaned each week; just certain areas that will rotate each week and depending on needs. The main areas each week would be, 1 x bathroom, 3 x toilets, kitchen, master bedroom, 2 x bedrooms that are offices not being slept in, mop surfaces. Then each week there may be an area to target eg, windows, stairs, entryway etc. - my dog is a toy cavoodle, loves cuddles and can play with him in the yard. No walks. - weekly ongoing work and can be flexible with the day - preferred that you have your own cleaning supplies as you’ll know what’s best to use, but we probably have everything you need. Or if you have great scrubbers and cloths etc I can buy all the product. That’s totally fine. Or I can buy everything you need! My issue is that I don’t always know which product or chemical to use on which problem area. - the house is modern and we’ve only lived here for 1 year so it’s well maintained

Needing a dog sitter at your house for 7 nights. . . Sitter can't have any other dogs or cats, she's an inside English staffy, 28kgs so not a small dog. Will need to go to your house for the entire time, she can be outside during day so long as you have a fully fenced yard 6 ft high. No exercise needed, she's very chill and just chills

I am looking for a kind dog lover to look after my small dapple dachshund for just two nights from around 4:00pm Friday 19th April until around 4:00pm Sunday 21st April whilst we have to move house. Olive is sweet in nature, desexed, toilet training and just a pup who really loves the company of other dogs/humans. She takes just a couple of minutes to get used to new dogs because she is so small. Happy of course to drop her and pick up based in Manly Vale but would just need to come to your place as we are moving a house.
Elena was great and super lovely! Would absolutely use her again to look after my puppy. Thanks again Elena, you were awesome!

Post edited. Hi I’m going away for 2 nights and need someone to look after my 3 year old Bengal cat Boris. He’s very playful and demanding so someone who’s willing to pay a lot of attention to him is preferred. He’s a very curious cat so a secure household is preferred also. Close to Melbourne cbd is also preferred but not too much of an issue for the right person. Dates are for 25th April. Drop off evening possibly late arvo till Saturday 27th April. Thanks for reading. Look forward to hearing from you. All food and litter provided.
Laine and Luisa were awesome. Looked after my cat while I was away. And did a great job keeping him happy while his dad was butchering the game of golf for two days. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.

Hello there! I’m looking for someone to take my lilah girl from the 17th to the 23rd of April! I’ll be coming back after 6:30pm on the 23rd. She’s a 9 month chihuahua, foxy mix and so full of energy 🔆 While she gets it right most of the time she will still have some accidents on carpet. If the door is left ajar she will go out by herself or will most of the time pace at the door when she needs to go. I’d ideally want someone that works from home or works short shifts and that can short walk her daily. She’s not the best with other dogs as she’s young and has had almost no socialising with animals other than my housemates kitten (they are good friends) so cats are okay 🐱 While I don’t mind if there are other dogs in the house her size I will leave it up to you to introduce as it causes me to much anxiety. In saying this we are starting doggy school so don’t come for me 😂 I will provide everything she needs. Price is all together not per day. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you! 🥰
An absolute gem!! Looked after my girl so well, made me feel super comfortable about leaving her and wanted to know every detail to make sure Lilah had a good stay! Just all over great!! 💗

We are travelling overseas from 27/3 to 7/4 and need someone to take care of our two small lovely, easy doggos. They keep each other company during the day if you work, and just need feeding, a lil walk & some lovin. We live in Pascoe Vale South, so anyone not too far from there would be great
The love our pets were shown was so beautiful & very evident in their little faces when they were returned. Didn't know that there would be two other doggos there, but sounds like they got on greatly. Josese was quick to reply, despite having the biggest of family emergencies, for that we were so thankful.

I'm going away for the long weekend (Friday 08/03 - Sunday 10/03) and need someone to care for my 2 dogs. My boys are Chompers (8yo Kelpie x Whippet) and Kenai (6yo Malamute x Husky). Both are house trained and Kenai is crate trained. They need to be fed breakfast everyday and let outside to go to the toilet/have a play twice a day (once in the morning before breakfast and once in the evening before bed). I'm happy to provide a demonstration of their routine either in person or record a series of videos. Their routine would take 1-1.5 hours a day.
Elmark was amazing! He was easy to communicate and schedule with. He kept me in the loop with absolutely everything which is perfect for loving dog parents. I would receive photos and videos every day of my dogs being played with and fed, and they were very obviously very happy to be with Elmark. Amazing Tasker!
