What do pet care 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 pet sitters, dog walkers, or someone to help you take care of a puppy when you're at work, Airtasker can connect you with the right professionals.Â
Here are a range of pet services available to help with your beloved animals:
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 a dog, reptile boarding, or cat sitting service, your pet can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their routine with a dedicated pet sitter in your own place. 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. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes to an hour 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 will 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.

Dog sitter needed from 17 September till 2 October
$100
South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia
8th Sep 2024
Need someone to take care of my 3 year old miniature dachshund at your house. Slinky cannot be left home alone for more than 3 or 4 hours so ideally would prefer a household where there are 2 or 3 people. Preferably no other pets should be at your house during this time. Slinky is fine with teenagers and adults but sometimes barks at babies and toddlers. He will also most likely want to sleep in your bed at night (don't worry, he's 80% toilet trained which means he knows to jump off your bed to do wee on the training pads which I will provide.) I will supply his bed, leash, food and toys for the duration of his stay.
Aaron was very patient in taking care of Slinky whilst I was away. Unfortunately Aaron's house was a bit of a mess which meant Slinky's collar and leash went missing.

Sil and his family took exceptional care of our dog, treating him as if he were their own. They kept us updated with photos and daily summaries. I highly recommend them for dog sitting. They exceeded our expectations, and our dog clearly enjoyed the walks and attention.

Thanks Yu for agreeing to pet sit my cat and for entertaining and playing with him too. Despite the distance from her house to mine, Yu quite literally went out of her way to help take care of my cat everyday, just because of her love for cats. She gave me regular updates everyday via texts with photos and videos. Overall, she has a friendly and genuine personality.
