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.

Im looking for someone to look after my elderly (14.5YO) staffy named Ruby, she is an inside dog who sleeps most of the day. She is not great with other dogs, but has no issue with other animals. She loves a little walk and is very good when it comes to doing her business outside. We live on a boat & are stopping into Townsville to celebrate my 40th birthday. Its not suitable for Ruby to be left on the boat for any length of time alone, and we are wanting to explore with friends.

Hello everyone I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever I am needing regular pet sitting at your house. I work shift work and regularly am at work from 4:30pm to 8:30 am the following morning. I’m looking for someone to look after my boy while I’m at work. He’s super chill and is no hassle to look after. He will be fed prior to me dropping him off so all you’ll have to do is give him a bowl of water. And cuddles if you feel like it haha He will ideally be allowed to sleep inside as that’s what he’s used to. Happy to pay around the $25 a night range and this would be 2-5 times a week Thank you - Due date: Flexible
