Where can I find the best dog walkers & pet sitters in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for dog walkers & pet sitters in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my pet sitter business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the pet sitter category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of dog walkers & pet sitters in Australia lists the top 50 of the 497 highest-rated dog walkers & pet sitters; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
