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.

Sunshine North VIC, Australia

10th Dec 2024

Hi. I adopted a kitten recently, as in he found me. I love him to bits. He will be about 8 weeks old and soon a month old. Kitty will be vaccinated , flea treated , dewormed and micro chipped soon. He is litter box trained. He doesn’t leave me or my husband’s side and gets very anxious , he has separation anxiety. Very playful though. I’m going away on the 17th of January and will be back 21st of January. I’m looking for a very loving sitter for him so that I can be 100% assured he will be in good hands. I’m so anxious. Also I want him to have the best time as well. So if other friendly kittens are around it will be great. He is my baby. I want him in safe hands.

Hi there, I have my Greyhound who is in need of a place to stay whilst I'm away. Drop off will be in the evening Thurs 03/10, and pick up Mon 07/10. His food, collar/leash, toys & jackets will all be provided. He's a very loving young man who will require a short walk per day, and will be happy to chill with you for the rest. He's an inside dog, and may be vocal if left outside for too long on his own. He is toilet trained, and needs a home with no other animals, although great with children, would prefer a home with no kids also. Happy to chat more with any questions Cheers

Thank you so much for looking after my big sensitive Greyhound. He's had a blast! Will absolutely be coming back when my young man needs a place to stay. 5 stars - i Highly recommend

Feed cats and change litter

$40

Werribee VIC, Australia

4th Sep 2024

I won’t be home on the September 14th so will need someone to come and put food in the bowl and change the litter for the cats. It’s an automatic CATLINK litter system so super easy, you just pull the drawer out lift the bag of used litter out and then replace with a fresh bag. The tins of food will be located next to the bowls so all very straight forward and can be done in less than 5 mins. Thanks

Great communication and completed the job better than I could of asked for. I would highly recommend Jessica 10/10!!
