Jonathan was great and very personable and my cat was very happy for his little holiday!
Cat sitter (in your house)
$200
Elly was amazing - I felt so comfortable leaving Bentley in her care. She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the day so I never worried about him and always knew he was being well cared for. House was in I’m much late condition when I came home also 😊 I’ve booked her for two more weekends this month! This was my first time hiring a pet sitter through airtasker and I was nervous but Elly was fantastic and even did a meet and greet with Bentley first.

Elly was truly amazing. She went above and beyond with our family lab, Ringo. She spent two hours with him, made him feel comfortable, even took him for a cheeky swim on a most beautiful day in Canberra. Calm, polite and lovely, Elly comes highly recommended for this little family. D :)

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.
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.

We are looking for a pet sitter for our 2 dogs over the weekend from Thursday 3rd (Afternoon) to Tuesday (morning) 8th October. Lucy, border collie, age 8 and Blue border collie x bull arab age 2. They are both good natured and pretty low maintenance, they love to lounge in the sun or shade and love cuddles and play. They are good with other dogs and kids but haven’t had much exposure to cats. We are looking for a loving carer who has a backyard and can also have them inside, and is willing to provide them with at least one play session a day and lots of cuddles! We will provide their food, toys and beds. Drop off is Thursday and pick up Monday. Somewhere around the Canberra area or rural surrounds, as we will be spending the weekend near Wee Jasper. Unfortunately our carer we had organised has had last minute change of plans and has to head to Sydney, so we're hoping someone out there can help us out. Thanks Dani and Jack
