Jillinda looked after my dog for 2 weeks. She provided regular updates which gave me peace of mind that my fur-baby was being spoilt while I was away. She was understanding of my dog's instincts as a working breed and her quirks. I highly recommend Jillinda.

Top Pet Care related questions
The average cost of pet services on Airtasker is $15 to $140, 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 rates for hiring dog sitters can range from $15 to $100. The cost of dog walkers can range from $20 to $50. Specify the task you need to get the best quote for pet care in your area.
Pet carers can help with all aspects of keeping your pet happy and healthy so you have peace of mind even when you're away from home or unable to look after your beloved pets. 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. Pet sitters or anyone looking after animals may need Public Liability insurance. You may find a pet care provider who has done pet-minding courses to formalise their experience. It's recommended to do a background check before hiring a Tasker for pet care in your area.
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 service provider is caring for the pet in a new environment or using special tools (like grooming tools), they’ll usually use their own.
Hiring pet services means your pet can still get the care and attention it needs when you’re away on holidays, working, or just too busy. Your pet can get the companionship and care they need to be happy and healthy.

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.
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.

Wool rug clean - pick up and drop off.
$150
Fitzroy North VIC, Australia
23rd Feb 2025
I have a handmade rug - 100% wool, beige and grey in colour, with a fairly thick pile - that needs a general clean. It doesn’t have any major stains, it’s just a bit dirty from dust, people walking across it, etc. It’s absolutely essential that the integrity of the rug is maintained and that the cleaning chemicals and processes used are 100% safe for domestic use (we have a baby who spends a lot of time on this thing). Rug measures 240cm x 330cm. Pickup and drop off (Fitzroy North, Melbourne) preferred. Happy to provide more information. Thanks!

Euthanize My Cat

Windsor QLD 4030, Australia
14th Feb 2025
I have had problems with my cat urinating through the house. The cat is also being 'mounted' constantly by the other cat in the house. I have tried various ways to resolve the problem as well as trying to rehome the cat through the RSPCA and AWLQ. My efforts have been unsuccessful. As a last resort, I am now looking for someone to humanely and legally euthanize my cat as well as disposing of it. If you are able to help, please let me know along with providing me with any relevant accreditation.

Dog day care
$450
Aranda ACT 2614, Australia
8th Feb 2025
**I need someone to drop into my place in Aranda for a few hours each day from Mon 10th - Fri 14th to hang with my dog Sooty** The offered $$ is for the total five visits (one each day). Sooty has recently had some health issues. He's doing a lot better now but I don't feel comfortable leaving him alone for a full days. Unfortunately I have a big work week from mon 10th - fri 14th and will need to work from the office. I'm hoping to find someone who can drop in to my place in Aranda and spend at least a few hours (ideally 2 at minimim) with Soot each day between 10am - 4pm. No walks required, but I've been giving him some chicken in water to encourage him to drink as he's still a bit nauseous so you may need to do that if he doesn't start drinking more on his own over the weekend (I'll update you!). I also have a cat - she doesn't need anything and is very chill. I am in a cosy garden flat in Aranda with internet and tv etc. Sooty is a friendly, large mix breed dog. He mostly just needs passive company.


I highly recommend Natasha - she is an amazing communicator, professional, reliable, and friendly. She followed all my (slightly bizarre!) instructions for looking after my unwell & anxious dog with absolute ease and even dropped in ahead of the scheduled task to meet him. I really appreciated her updates throughout the week. Natasha is clearly great with animals and I would trust her with my pets and home any time. Thanks again!

Pagewood NSW, Australia

Overnight dog sitting for a 3 year old Pomeranian x jack Russel at a townhouse in Pagewood. Roughly 12pm Saturday (8/2) to 3pm Sunday (9/2). All he needs is to be let out in the back garden for the toilet every couple of hours and some biscuits for dinner and breakfast. (I will walk him before I leave) He likes to bark when he first meets someone, but after about 30 minutes he will love you and give you lots of kisses and sleep right next to you. You will have access to all amenities in the house for the duration of your stay. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions :)


Jin was very professional and caring. Would highly recommend her.
