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.

Eclectus bird pair boarding

$250

Dandenong North VIC, Australia

15th Jan 2025

I have a hand raised pair of eclectus who need to be rehomed for 6 weeks while I am on overseas trip. They can stay in the cage all the time, they just need to be fed on time everyday. Following is what is required in terms of feeding them. 1) Chuck them frozen vegitable mix everynight in feedinig cup so it is ready to eat whole day next day. You will need to throw away last day's leftover food from feeding cup before adding new. 2) Put some banana, apple and bird pallets in their feeding cup in evening. You have to cut the fresh banana/apple piece everyday. Takes 2 minutes to cut and feed. 3) Change their water every 5 days. Please make sure that you own a house not a unit or apartment because they can be sometimes noisy. I can provide cage and all the feeding supplies. Only bid for rehoming them and taking care of them for 6 weeks. This can be a good experience for your family and kids to see the amainzind hand tame eclectus parrots. You can also handle them or feed them from hands if you wish to :)

Pet boarding my pugalier

$250

Pakenham VIC, Australia

26th Nov 2023

I’m looking for someone who’d happily board my dog in the time frame of the 18th-27th of December. Looking to pay $250-$300 I’m pretty low on money with Christmas and a ver bill and another one coming up again soon for my cat that’s mainly all I could really afford. She’s a pugalier who’s almost 14 years old, she’s completely blind, has diabetes and a heart murmur. She needs insulin every 12 hours she gets insulin 9:30 in the morning and again 9:30 at night. She has a special diabetic diet that she’ll come with as well as her insulin,needles and bedding. She’s very easy to look after I recommend however keeping her in a confined space that isn’t on carpet incase she does an accident. The only issues with her is she gets a lot more confused being an older dog so when she’s lost she will bark a lot if she’s lost or confused. The other only issue is when feeding her or other pets you’ll need to keep them separated. She cannot eat any other food she has to stay strictly to her diet and she also bullies other animals if they’re around eating she’ll try bullying them for their food or she’ll get nippy at them if the come around to her while she’s eating. Apart from that she’s competely easy going most she’ll probably do is sleep she is fine with kids and other animals. - Due date: Needs to be done on Monday, 18 December 2023
