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.

I’m looking for someone to let my chickens out from the coop in the morning (between 7am and 8am), check their food and water and top them up if needed, collect the eggs then lock them up again in the evening (between 6pm and 7pm) while we’re away for 10 days in September. Food is kept in the garden shed and there is a water tap on the back porch. If you could scoop the poops from under the roost at the halfway point and chuck them in the compost bin, that would be great. Should be no more than 10 minutes work each day. My budget is $25 per day (plus free eggs!), so $250 in total for 10 days. Please get in touch if interested. Will need to see photo ID with current address to book job.

Delacombe VIC, Australia

4th Jan 2024

We're looking ideally for a dog lover to take our pup in their home for a week while we're away. He is super friendly and playful, well behaved, loves walks and also very chill. All food will be provided as well as a few of his toys. He toilet trained himself as a pup and will tell you when he needs to go out. I would suggest not leaving him inside if you go out, his boredom can get the best of him and he has taken it out on my daughter's toys. Otherwise he's very well behaved. If you have other dogs, he's very playful and will play until he drops. He's never been aggressive. He's up to date with his vaccinations too. We'd hope to drop him off late morning on Sunday 7th and pick him up mid arvo on Friday 12th. - Due date: Needs to be done on Sunday, 7 January 2024

Sil and his family were absolutely brilliant. They were more than happy to look after our dog while we were away and treated him as their own pet. He was willing to meet first, so our dog knew them before staying which made things easier. Our dog was very well looked after and had a great time during his visit, Sil also gave me updates on how he was going which was very reassuring. I cannot recommend Sil highly enough! Thank you all very much!
