Dogs and rabbits were happy when I arrived home :)
Rabbit and dog house visits - 5-7 June
$200
Elly was amazing - I felt so comfortable leaving Bentley in her care. She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the day so I never worried about him and always knew he was being well cared for. House was in I’m much late condition when I came home also 😊 I’ve booked her for two more weekends this month! This was my first time hiring a pet sitter through airtasker and I was nervous but Elly was fantastic and even did a meet and greet with Bentley first.

Elly was truly amazing. She went above and beyond with our family lab, Ringo. She spent two hours with him, made him feel comfortable, even took him for a cheeky swim on a most beautiful day in Canberra. Calm, polite and lovely, Elly comes highly recommended for this little family. D :)

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.

Pet Sitting for 2 Dogs
$200
Canberra ACT, Australia
1st Oct 2024
We are looking for a pet sitter for our 2 dogs over the weekend from Thursday 3rd (Afternoon) to Tuesday (morning) 8th October. Lucy, border collie, age 8 and Blue border collie x bull arab age 2. They are both good natured and pretty low maintenance, they love to lounge in the sun or shade and love cuddles and play. They are good with other dogs and kids but haven’t had much exposure to cats. We are looking for a loving carer who has a backyard and can also have them inside, and is willing to provide them with at least one play session a day and lots of cuddles! We will provide their food, toys and beds. Drop off is Thursday and pick up Monday. Somewhere around the Canberra area or rural surrounds, as we will be spending the weekend near Wee Jasper. Unfortunately our carer we had organised has had last minute change of plans and has to head to Sydney, so we're hoping someone out there can help us out. Thanks Dani and Jack

Hi, My partner and I are going overseas for 2 weeks and need someone to feed our pets and clean up any poop while we’re away. We have a Cavoodle and 3 cats. We’d like someone to come in and feed them once a day from the 28th of August - 10th of September. The door to the garage will be open, so we’d need someone to pick up any dog mess from there and empty the litters too. You’re welcome to stay and make yourself a tea or coffee, my dog would love the company but it isn’t a requirement! I will write up the instructions in more detail once I confirm you. All equipment required will be provided. Please let me know if you have any issues! Thank you :)
