Top Pet Care related questions
The average cost of pet services on Airtasker is $15 to $140, but it could cost more or less than this. The price of your pet care services will depend on the service you need, what kind of pet you have, and how much time is needed to complete your task. For instance, the rates for hiring dog sitters can range from $15 to $100. The cost of dog walkers can range from $20 to $50. Specify the task you need to get the best quote for pet care in your area.
Pet carers can help with all aspects of keeping your pet happy and healthy so you have peace of mind even when you're away from home or unable to look after your beloved pets. Depending on your pet, services can include feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning/washing, pet sitting, or doggy day care.
Pet carers generally take care of dogs or cats, but many are experienced in a wide range of animals, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, rodents, fish, and reptiles.
No qualifications are necessary to be a pet carer, but a love for animals and a caring personality helps. Pet sitters or anyone looking after animals may need Public Liability insurance. You may find a pet care provider who has done pet-minding courses to formalise their experience. It's recommended to do a background check before hiring a Tasker for pet care in your area.
It depends on whether your pet care is happening at home or in a new environment. Usually, if your pet is being cared for at your home, they’ll use their existing items (like leashes, collars, and feeding bowls). But if your service provider is caring for the pet in a new environment or using special tools (like grooming tools), they’ll usually use their own.
Hiring pet services means your pet can still get the care and attention it needs when you’re away on holidays, working, or just too busy. Your pet can get the companionship and care they need to be happy and healthy.

What do pet care services include?
Pet care services go beyond basic care for your pets or animals - they can also help with boarding, companionship, and exercise. Importantly, they can help you look after your pet if you’re unable to or if you’ll be away. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or someone to help you take care of a puppy when you're at work, Airtasker can connect you with the right professionals.
Here are a range of pet services available to help with your beloved animals:
Pet sitting & boarding
Most pet owners consider boarding kennels for their pets when they’re heading away overnight or for an extended period, but your pet can also stay in your home or in the home of a registered pet sitter. Some pet boarding services also offer a day care service for those pets that don’t like to be left alone during the day. At a pet boarding service, your pet will receive food, exercise, and comfortable bedding as well as the company of people and dogs around them. There may also be music and air conditioning in some places. Or if you choose a dog, reptile boarding, or cat sitting service, your pet can stay in a familiar environment and keep to their routine with a dedicated pet sitter in your own place. This is especially helpful for anxious pets or those needing constant supervision.
Dog walking & exercise
If you’re working long hours or heading away on holiday, dog walking services can help your pooch get their daily workout to keep them happy and healthy. During the walk, they’ll burn off energy and ward off feelings of boredom and restlessness when they’re back home alone. You can book dog walking as a one-off or regular service, and your dog may be walked with others if it’s comfortable with socialisation. Your dog walker will use your dog’s normal collar and lead, plus bring along treats to encourage good behaviour. They’ll walk your dog for around 30 minutes to an hour before bringing them safely back into your home or yard.
Washing & grooming
Washing and grooming are necessary for every pet’s health and well-being. Specialised pet grooming (including cat grooming and dog grooming) services are equipped to bathe your pet with minimal mess and fuss. Your pet groomer will wash and dry your pet’s coat, clip fur, trim nails, and administer any pest treatments in a single appointment. You’ll likely need to book pet grooming around once a month, ensuring you brush your pet’s fur to keep it clear of dirt between appointments.
Dog training
Getting help with dog training can be the quickest way to a house-trained and obedient pet. Dog training will help to improve your dog’s behaviours such as digging, jumping, and barking, while also giving them a chance to socialise with other dogs. Training can be done individually or as part of a group. Many new pet owners enrol their dogs into puppy preschool from as young as 8 weeks to encourage good behaviour early on.

Earlwood NSW, Australia

I have two ragdoll cats - Soba (a girl) and Natto (a boy) (about 1 year old) each. They are brother and sister and are well-behaved. We need someone to help wash/shampoo/groom both cats and clip their nails. We typically get this done every month. If you're open to it, after this initial job, we would like to get this done on a monthly basis. It would be great if you had your own pet shampoo/grooming products, as we don't have these. Photos attached of both cats.
thank you! helped a lot

I need to someone to come and keep my son (aka my dog Zorro) some company tomorrow afternoon through to the evening :) Unfortunately, my current sitter has just cancelled on me and I have plans tomorrow.

It would be great if you would be able to come round at 5pm - 930pm/10pm Thank you, Jess

Cat grooming/washing (semi-aggressive cat)
$100
Brisbane QLD, Australia
2nd May 2024
Hello! I have a cat called Kimchi and like her name she can be a bit spicy. It’s about time we get her cleaned but since my ex has moved out a while ago and my housemate is a lil scared I’m nervous doing it on my own. She is not a fan of any belly touching and really can bite and scratch when handled around water and a bath. I’ve tried a lot of techniques but now I’m just looking for help. If there’s someone who is very confident to do it solo that’s awesome but I’m happy to offer a helping hand during. If my cat likes you (like she liked my ex) this can be a regular thing (every month/3 months or so). Will pay and have everything supplied! Shoot me a message!
My cat was pretty scared but she was a pro and put my cats needs above all else and got the job done whilst my cat hissed and growled. I really appreciate it as I know it’s a hard job to do especially as it sounds like we’re being mean to the cat but she handled it with so much grace! Thank you again!

Dog Sitting - small dachshund
$100
Manly Vale NSW, Australia
25th Apr 2024
I am looking for a kind dog lover to look after my small dapple dachshund for just two nights from around 4:00pm Friday 19th April until around 4:00pm Sunday 21st April whilst we have to move house. Olive is sweet in nature, desexed, toilet training and just a pup who really loves the company of other dogs/humans. She takes just a couple of minutes to get used to new dogs because she is so small. Happy of course to drop her and pick up based in Manly Vale but would just need to come to your place as we are moving a house.
Elena was great and super lovely! Would absolutely use her again to look after my puppy. Thanks again Elena, you were awesome!
Cat sitting / cat carer

West Melbourne VIC, Australia

Post edited. Hi I’m going away for 2 nights and need someone to look after my 3 year old Bengal cat Boris. He’s very playful and demanding so someone who’s willing to pay a lot of attention to him is preferred. He’s a very curious cat so a secure household is preferred also. Close to Melbourne cbd is also preferred but not too much of an issue for the right person. Dates are for 25th April. Drop off evening possibly late arvo till Saturday 27th April. Thanks for reading. Look forward to hearing from you. All food and litter provided.
Laine and Luisa were awesome. Looked after my cat while I was away. And did a great job keeping him happy while his dad was butchering the game of golf for two days. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.
