Oh man this lady is just wonderful. I will be a long term customer. I was able to leave my very old dog with her and feel totally comfortable that she would be loved while we were away.

Bettina was amazing! Took great care of our pup while we were on holidays, always sending happy snaps of the fun they were having too. Donnie had a blast! Swimming, bird watching, walking, playing fetch, learning tricks, car rides and play dates with other puppies!

What do dog sitting services include?

Airtasker’s dog sitting service can be straightforward. While the specifics may vary from Tasker to Tasker, and depend on your pet’s own needs, here are the things that you can expect a dog sitter to do.

Puppy collection and delivery

Your puppy sitter can arrange for the collection and delivery of your puppy. A puppy sitter or pet transport service can collect your pup. Then, when you get home from your trip, the sitter can bring your pup back to you. 

Feeding & administering medication

Your puppy sitter relies on your detailed instructions for feeding your pet, providing enough water, and giving them their vitamins and medicine (if applicable). Make sure you have enough supplies before you leave, whether it’s kibble, canned food, home-cooked meals, or raw food. Make sure your sitter is familiar with food prep and portioning. Be clear about what food you allow your dog to eat, and what they’re allergic to.

If your pet is on a special diet, make sure your sitter is informed. The same goes for medication - prepare written instructions and review them verbally before you leave. Don’t just rely on a note on the counter! Good preparation is essential to making sure your pet stays healthy even while you’re out.

Cleaning up pet mess

Puppy sitting also includes cleaning up a pet’s mess. Let your Tasker know your dog’s signal for when they need to “go”, your pet’s usual spot, and how you usually handle dog mess. Make sure your sitter also knows where the cleaning supplies are kept, in case your dog can’t make it to their spot.

Exercise and playtime

Your pet sitter also makes sure your pet/s get enough exercise, playtime, and even training while you’re out. Let your puppy sitter know if they can take your dog on walks while you’re out, and how often this needs to be done. If you have any rules for walks, such as cleaning the paws afterwards or avoiding a rowdy neighbour dog, make sure you tell your sitter about these. Your puppy sitter also makes sure that your pet stays secure at all times, whether inside or outside your property.

Pets, cuddles, and TLC

Your pet will need all the love they can get while you’re out for a friend’s wedding or week-long business trip. Your dog sitter makes sure your pooch gets petted and cuddled regularly. Let your puppy sitter know if they can give your pet treats, and how many they can have per day. Ideally, your pet and the Tasker have met prior to the puppy sitting appointment, so your Tasker will be able to pet and scratch your dog in all their favourite spots.

Puppy grooming

Grooming may include brushing your puppy’s fur and trimming their nails. To avoid overwhelming your puppy, the puppy sitter may brush your puppy’s coat a few minutes at a time throughout the day. If you want to come home to a fresh-smelling pup and a clean house, go ahead and book a sofa cleaning or house cleaning service on our platform as well!

Updates on your pet

If pet updates are part of your Tasker’s arrangement, you can expect an email or message from your sitter on a regular basis. In case of emergencies, you can have your sitter call a relative in the area or your vet - just to make sure your dog is alright.

I’m looking for someone to take care of my nearly 2 year old Mini Groodle Millie whilst I go to the snow from August 1st afternoon to August 4th afternoon. I’m looking for someone to take care of her in your home as my home is half packed up ready to move. She is medium sized (15kg), fully toilet trained but mostly lives inside with a dog door. She is hypoallergenic and non-shedding and gets along well with all friendly dogs. She needs to be walked once a day and fed twice a day and otherwise just loves to cuddle/play with toys. She is recently groomed so doesn’t require any washing or brushing. She sleeps on my bed so would need to be able to sleep inside your home. I live in Reservoir but would arrange drop off and pick up, ideally dropping off between 4.30-5.30pm on the Thursday and picking up by 5.30 on the Sunday. Millie is great with kids and kids generally adore her. I would supply all food, her bed and some of her toys, lead and anything else she might need whilst I’m away. Please ask any questions if you need more details. Thanks, Olivia and Millie 🐾

Ryan and Amy looked after my 2 year old mini Groodle for the long weekend whilst I went away. They took such good care of her and made her feel completely at home by letting her sleep on their bed as she was used to and spent her time inside with them. They even took her to a dog friendly cafe and bought her doggy treats! I got regular updates and knew she was being well cared for which gave me such peace of mind & would definitely use them again

We need a dog sitter in our house for 3 weeks (or part thereof) in September. We have the gorgeous easy care Leia and the cute but problematic Gizmo. He is reactive to strangers and other dogs. We've been working with a behaviourist but he still needs someone with training/experience with reactive dogs to stay with him and Leia while we're away. We're hoping to be gone for 3 weeks in September and can share this between a few people if that's too long for someone to stay. - Due date: Needs to be done on Friday, 15 September 2023
