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.Â
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 sitting - 5yo choc lab
$15
Fitzroy North VIC, Australia
2nd Mar 2025
Looking for a pet sitter to look after our 5yo choc lab boy while we go overseas. Total 24 nights (drop off 22 March, pick up 15 April). We are based in Fitzroy North so preferably someone nearby, with a house/town house that has a small backyard area. Our boy is an outdoor dog and stays outside all the time (including sleeping), as long as there's shelter he'll be fine. He is a generally well-behaved dog unless triggered. He's very friendly so will jump up or pull/bark at other people or dogs if he wants to play. This task is for a trial night before our requested trial date to ensure compatibility and that you like our dog.If trial night goes well, you must be available for the dates mentioned above. Offering $400 total for the 24 nights we require.


Excellent care-taker for our 5yo choc labrador. Lovely family and home. Would highly recommend 😊

Hello! I have two beautiful low fuss cats (8 years old) that need to be watched over from 10am - 3pm on Tuesday 4th Feb. I have works (an installation) being carried out on my property and think it’ll be easier if the catties are off site for several hours while this is being done. You will need to be able to pick them up and drop them off and host them at your property (to be honest they probably won’t even leave their cat carrier). Please let me know if you are able to do this and if you have any pet (cat) experience! Thank you, Jordan


Will absolutely be using your services again! Thank you so much!

Dog step for dog door

In need of a little step for my dog door. Will share photos. Likely will need to measure in person. Material that is all weather as will be outside. I need a little step on the inside and the all weather on the outside. My dog is very little so the jump down discourages him from going outside.


Great attention to detail creating a bespoke ledge for my dog to use his door. Measurements made to fit. Great detail. Communication at times could be a bit touch and go but we got the job done in the end!
Pet sitting for a few weeks
$250
Port Melbourne, Victoria
10th Nov 2024
Hi there, I’m looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter (pet sitters home, not mine unfortunately) to care for my dog, Lola, while I spend some time with my mum. The dates I’m looking at would be about 2 weeks possibly leaving end of this week (let’s say the 16th) but it may change. Lola is a 13-year-old, very chill dog who can be a little timid at first but quickly warms up and loves anyone who cares for her. She’s low-maintenance and mostly enjoys lounging around, so she’s easy to look after once she feels comfortable. I’ll need someone to take care of her for a few weeks, and as it’s a longer stay, I’m hoping to find someone open to offering a more affordable rate for the extended time. Please let me know if you’re available and what your rates would be for the duration. Thanks so much! Liv

Absolutely amazing!! Couldn’t recommend enough
