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.

I need someone to look after my 8 month old puppy. His name is Charlie and he is a Golden Labrador. When I leave, Charlie will be a year old. I am leaving to India for my sister’s wedding on the 23rd of August and will be back only on the 17th of September. It has always been just me and Charlie and would be great if someone can have him at your place while I am away. He is potty trained and is a pretty active puppy. Loves to cuddle and sleep and walks.

Looking for a reliable Gardner to clear up leaves in our garden the morning before an open home - we are away so want someone to come next Wednesday morning for briefing / interview. Must have excellent completion score, eye for detail and have guaranteed availability for weds 27th, Sat 30th, weds 3rd, and Saturday 6th from 0800-1000; the last Gardner just didn’t turn up one morning before the open home which really screwed us so I can’t exaggerate how important reliability is. Please bid with a quote for 2x your hourly rate. I’ll award the job for one visit then agree rates from there. There will be a bonus at the end if all sessions are completed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks! Will use again…

He kept me updated the entire trip, and even was able to arrive earlier than schedule as he knew how excited I was to meet my new baby!

I'm going away for the long weekend (Friday 08/03 - Sunday 10/03) and need someone to care for my 2 dogs. My boys are Chompers (8yo Kelpie x Whippet) and Kenai (6yo Malamute x Husky). Both are house trained and Kenai is crate trained. They need to be fed breakfast everyday and let outside to go to the toilet/have a play twice a day (once in the morning before breakfast and once in the evening before bed). I'm happy to provide a demonstration of their routine either in person or record a series of videos. Their routine would take 1-1.5 hours a day.
Elmark was amazing! He was easy to communicate and schedule with. He kept me in the loop with absolutely everything which is perfect for loving dog parents. I would receive photos and videos every day of my dogs being played with and fed, and they were very obviously very happy to be with Elmark. Amazing Tasker!
