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.

Dog Sitter/House Minder Needed!

$130

Rural View QLD, Australia

14th Jul 2021

G’day there, I’m looking for someone to mind my dog and my house from the 19th of July until the 27th of July. The minimum time frame I’m looking at is about 30 minutes per visit with you coming in the afternoon or evening (whenever suits you) and everything will be provided. Dustin (Dusty) is a young Cattle Dog X who is very friendly (some may say overly so) who will need a firm hand when you come to visit. He loves to play and loves to chill out by your side, give him a pat and a treat and he’ll be your best friend forever. He is up to date with all worming and vaccinations and will be neutered either this month or next. YOUR ROLE: • Water, feed and play with my young pup • Providing me daily updates via text • Watering my house plants as required • Collecting my mail • Making sure the property is secure • Bringing the bin in and out on Friday BENEFITS: Since I will be away most of the time you will be more than welcome to use anything in the house as if it were your own, that includes wifi, Netflix, Disney plus, Amazon prime, etc. You are always welcome to whatever is in the fridge/freezer and of course you will be paid! We will also need a meet and greet with Dusty as well. I am also looking for someone on a semi-permanent casual basis being done on a 8 day swing for the next two months, being both during weekdays and weekends.

Cat Groomer

$5

Blacks Beach QLD, Australia

11th Apr 2021

Hi We need a Cat Groomer to shave our fluffy Himalayan girl ASAP. She gets a Lion style trim. However my partner needs to be able to hold her while the groomer does the trim. It makes it much easier for the groomer, and keeps our girl much calmer. She’s used to being done at home, but he’s happy to take her to a salon, provided he can hold her while it’s being done. Thanks :)
