Nerius is ana exceptional pet sitter. Easy to talk to, super friendly and an absolute delight. He picked our pup up on time, took care of him, even took him on a hike, socialised him and dropped him at our convenience. Thankful that we found him so we don’t have to look for any other pet sitter from now on. Can’t get any better than this, 5 stars!

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 seeking a fellow animal lover to care for my sweet 11-month-old pup, Freedom, in your home. He’s an absolute joy—well-behaved and full of affection. Freedom adores other dogs, cats, people, and children, making him a perfect companion for a social household. I’ll provide everything he needs, including food, treats, bedding, and toys. Freedom loves his walks, so if you enjoy some outdoor time and have a backyard, that’s a huge bonus! He especially thrives in the company of other dogs, so if you already have pets, they’re sure to become fast friends. He’s also fine being left alone for a few hours and travels well in the car, making transportation easy. He weighs 5 kg. Because he’s still a young pup, Freedom prefers to sleep on the bed, so I hope you're comfortable with that. I’d be happy to arrange a pre-visit so we can meet and ensure it’s a good fit. I can also drop him off at your convenience. We’re located in Doncaster, so I’m looking for someone within a 30 km radius. Thank you so much for considering this! I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Dog sitting for one week from 11th November 2024 until 17th November inclusive. Two female French Bulldogs who are 3.5 years old. House trained.
Nora is just beautiful - inside and out! It is clear that she has lots of experience dog sitting and is very knowledgeable. She was fantastic with our two frenchies and they warmed to her immediately! Such a relief to know our fur babies were safe while we were away. Her house is well set up for dogs. Excellent communication, and was willing to do a meet before hand to make sure the dogs were comfortable. Thank you Nora! You are the best!

Grooming a dog involves several steps to keep them clean, healthy, and comfortable. Here's a simple guide: 1. **Brushing**: Start by brushing your dog’s coat to remove any dirt, mats, or loose hair. Use the right brush for their coat type. 2. **Bathing**: Use dog-specific shampoo and lukewarm water. Make sure not to get soap in their eyes, ears, or nose. Rinse thoroughly. 3. **Drying**: Gently towel dry your dog. For long-haired dogs, you may want to use a blow dryer on a low, cool setting. 4. **Nail Trimming**: Carefully trim your dog’s nails using clippers made for dogs. Be cautious not to cut too far, as it can hurt them. 5. **Ear Cleaning**: Use a cotton ball and a dog-safe ear cleaner to clean their ears. 6. **Teeth Brushing**: Brush your dog’s teeth using a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste.

Looking for an experienced dog sitter to look after my kelpie pup (6 months old) this Saturday night. We live in Kew so someone in or around this area. She’s a beautiful pup, fully house trained and (mostly!) well behaved. She’s smart and gorgeous but does have a lot of pup energy. I’m looking for someone who sits dogs regularly so I know she’s in good hands while we’re away for the night.
It was our first time having our dog babysat by anyone so we were a bit nervous but Bettina was excellent. Made us feel comfortable and took great care of our dog. I would recommend her.
