Mia is lovely! From the moment we met her and her dog for a meet and greet we knew our dogs were in great hands and we felt at ease about going on holiday. She sent photos and let us know how they were going which was greatly appreciated, and she was friendly and easy to talk to throughout. Thanks Mia!

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.

Dog sitting 5 - 18 May

Docklands VIC 3008, Australia
22nd Mar 2025
Hello, We are looking for a sitter to care for our small dog for a couple of weeks. To be transparent - ideally we want someone that works from home, or only goes out for a few hours at a time. This is because she is used to having someone WFH, and we typically take her with us when we go out, so she is not used to spending long days alone. Alternatively, another pet she can hang out with while you are at work. She is very small (2kg), so the other pet must be suitable. We are open to either you staying at our apartment in Docklands, or she can stay with you (provided your home is escape proof as she has dug under a fence before). Going forward, we would love to have a reliable sitter that we can call on. If preferred, can pay in cash.

Looking for a pet sitter to look after our 5yo choc lab boy while we go overseas. Total 24 nights (drop off 22 March, pick up 15 April). We are based in Fitzroy North so preferably someone nearby, with a house/town house that has a small backyard area. Our boy is an outdoor dog and stays outside all the time (including sleeping), as long as there's shelter he'll be fine. He is a generally well-behaved dog unless triggered. He's very friendly so will jump up or pull/bark at other people or dogs if he wants to play. This task is for a trial night before our requested trial date to ensure compatibility and that you like our dog.If trial night goes well, you must be available for the dates mentioned above. Offering $400 total for the 24 nights we require.


Excellent care-taker for our 5yo choc labrador. Lovely family and home. Would highly recommend 😊

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!

Pet sitting for a few weeks

Port Melbourne, Victoria
10th Nov 2024
Hi there, I’m looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter (pet sitters home, not mine unfortunately) to care for my dog, Lola, while I spend some time with my mum. The dates I’m looking at would be about 2 weeks possibly leaving end of this week (let’s say the 16th) but it may change. Lola is a 13-year-old, very chill dog who can be a little timid at first but quickly warms up and loves anyone who cares for her. She’s low-maintenance and mostly enjoys lounging around, so she’s easy to look after once she feels comfortable. I’ll need someone to take care of her for a few weeks, and as it’s a longer stay, I’m hoping to find someone open to offering a more affordable rate for the extended time. Please let me know if you’re available and what your rates would be for the duration. Thanks so much! Liv

Absolutely amazing!! Couldn’t recommend enough

Me and my partner are going overseas for 3 weeks and need a pet sitter for our kitten 🥹 he is 9 months old! We are going away from Nov 4th - Nov 25th. He would just need to be fed in the morning and afternoon and may want a bit of play time as well :) his cat litter box would need cleaning too Prefer that he does stay in our apartment as he is still quite young and prefers his comfortable surroundings


Narelle was amazing! Kept us updated through our holiday with photos, messages and our little kitten was so happy 😁 recommended!
