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.

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

My partner and I are looking for someone to stay at our house in Flemington and look after our dog from the 29th - 1st December. Chef is a 4 year old bloodhound/kelpie who loves attention and napping. Chef will need an hour walk on the Saturday but other than that all you will be responsible for is feeding him. Our home is a modern two bedroom terrace house with modern amenities so you’ll be able to kick back and relax. Please feel free to ask us questions through the app but note we will want to meet you before finalising the job as Chef means the world to us.

Need someone to take care of my 3 year old miniature dachshund at your house. Slinky cannot be left home alone for more than 3 or 4 hours so ideally would prefer a household where there are 2 or 3 people. Preferably no other pets should be at your house during this time. Slinky is fine with teenagers and adults but sometimes barks at babies and toddlers. He will also most likely want to sleep in your bed at night (don't worry, he's 80% toilet trained which means he knows to jump off your bed to do wee on the training pads which I will provide.) I will supply his bed, leash, food and toys for the duration of his stay.
Aaron was very patient in taking care of Slinky whilst I was away. Unfortunately Aaron's house was a bit of a mess which meant Slinky's collar and leash went missing.

Looking for a dog sister until Wednesday night or Thursday morning for our Bichon frise. You will be minding the dog at your house although we will provide food. He is a happy and very friendly dog
Sil and his family took exceptional care of our dog, treating him as if he were their own. They kept us updated with photos and daily summaries. I highly recommend them for dog sitting. They exceeded our expectations, and our dog clearly enjoyed the walks and attention.
