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.

Rural View QLD, Australia

14th Jul 2021

G’day there, I’m looking for someone to mind my dog and my house from the 19th of July until the 27th of July. The minimum time frame I’m looking at is about 30 minutes per visit with you coming in the afternoon or evening (whenever suits you) and everything will be provided. Dustin (Dusty) is a young Cattle Dog X who is very friendly (some may say overly so) who will need a firm hand when you come to visit. He loves to play and loves to chill out by your side, give him a pat and a treat and he’ll be your best friend forever. He is up to date with all worming and vaccinations and will be neutered either this month or next. YOUR ROLE: • Water, feed and play with my young pup • Providing me daily updates via text • Watering my house plants as required • Collecting my mail • Making sure the property is secure • Bringing the bin in and out on Friday BENEFITS: Since I will be away most of the time you will be more than welcome to use anything in the house as if it were your own, that includes wifi, Netflix, Disney plus, Amazon prime, etc. You are always welcome to whatever is in the fridge/freezer and of course you will be paid! We will also need a meet and greet with Dusty as well. I am also looking for someone on a semi-permanent casual basis being done on a 8 day swing for the next two months, being both during weekdays and weekends.
