What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.Â
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.Â

Pagewood NSW, Australia
4th Feb 2025
Overnight dog sitting for a 3 year old Pomeranian x jack Russel at a townhouse in Pagewood. Roughly 12pm Saturday (8/2) to 3pm Sunday (9/2). All he needs is to be let out in the back garden for the toilet every couple of hours and some biscuits for dinner and breakfast. (I will walk him before I leave) He likes to bark when he first meets someone, but after about 30 minutes he will love you and give you lots of kisses and sleep right next to you. You will have access to all amenities in the house for the duration of your stay. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions :)


Jin was very professional and caring. Would highly recommend her.

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!

Alysha took incredible care of my dog, Honey, for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She was attentive, communicative, and made sure Honey felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Honey came back happy and well- cared for. I highly recommend Alysha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks again, Alysha!
