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.

Walking Companion
$30
Alphington VIC, Australia
30th Apr 2024
Hi! The budget of $30 per walk is negotiable, please msg! I’m posting for family friends. The family are looking for someone to go on casual walks with an older lady (not elderly) for 30 minutes each morning, leaving from the front of her house, meeting on the footpath. The walks would be a casual stroll around the block or within 1-3km of their house, finished within 30 minutes. Depending on agreed upon frequency, the budget of $30 per walk is negotiable (please message) to suit both parties and schedules. This task would ideally be each morning, or depending on availability a minimum of 3 times a week, for about 1-4 weeks. Depending on availability, this may be ongoing after 2-4 weeks. This would suit someone with a carer, nurse, nannying, babysitting or support worker/social work background. May suit taskers who are pet walkers who walk often! Police records check is required. WWCC or equivalent a plus. Please message for further information.

Post edited. Hi I’m going away for 2 nights and need someone to look after my 3 year old Bengal cat Boris. He’s very playful and demanding so someone who’s willing to pay a lot of attention to him is preferred. He’s a very curious cat so a secure household is preferred also. Close to Melbourne cbd is also preferred but not too much of an issue for the right person. Dates are for 25th April. Drop off evening possibly late arvo till Saturday 27th April. Thanks for reading. Look forward to hearing from you. All food and litter provided.
Laine and Luisa were awesome. Looked after my cat while I was away. And did a great job keeping him happy while his dad was butchering the game of golf for two days. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.

We are travelling overseas from 27/3 to 7/4 and need someone to take care of our two small lovely, easy doggos. They keep each other company during the day if you work, and just need feeding, a lil walk & some lovin. We live in Pascoe Vale South, so anyone not too far from there would be great
The love our pets were shown was so beautiful & very evident in their little faces when they were returned. Didn't know that there would be two other doggos there, but sounds like they got on greatly. Josese was quick to reply, despite having the biggest of family emergencies, for that we were so thankful.

Need someone to take care of my 2 year old miniature dachshund for 2 weeks at your house/apartment, whilst I'm away overseas. Slinky is a 2 year old miniature dachshund who loves people.

Responsibilities: - Feeding slinky twice a day - Taking him for a walk once a day. - Making sure he's not left alone for longer than 2 hours at your house. IMPORTANT: Slinky cannot be left alone for longer than 2 hours as he suffers from separation anxiety so please only accept the job if someone is at home most of the time so this job will ideally suit a household with 3 or more people.

Looking for a professional dog groomer, vet nurse or similar to clip my dog’s nails. I have the nail cutters here, I am just not confident to it myself. Dog is a super friendly, senior American Staffy who is pretty cooperative with the process, but I can’t take him to get his nails done as he’s scared of other dogs. I’ll be on hand to help handle him, and can be flexible on day and time. Thanks! - Due date: Flexible
Laura was friendly, communicative and punctual - very easy to deal with.
