Qitzur Shulchan Arukh – 189:4

ד: בֶּהֱמַת גוֹי, אִם הָיָה הַגּוֹי מְחַמֵּר אַחַר בְּהֶמְתּוֹ, בֵּין ֹשֶהַמַּשָׂא הוּא שֶׁל ישְׂרָאֵל בֵּין שֶׁהוּא ֹשֶל גּוֹי, אֵינוֹ חַיָב, רַק לִפְרֹק, מִשּׁוּם צַעַר בַּעֲלֵי-חַיִים, וְיָכוֹל לְקַבֵּל שָׂכָר עַל זֶה. אֲבָל לִטְעֹן, אֵינוֹ חַיָב כְּלָל, רַק אִי אִיכָּא מִשּׁוּם אֵיבָה. וְאִם אֵין שָׁם גּוֹי, אֶלָּא יִשְׂרָאֵל מְחַמֵּר אַחַר הַבְּהֵמָה, חַיָב גַּם כֵּן לִטְעֹן מִשּׁוּם צַעַר הַיִשְׂרָאֵל. וְכֵן בֶּהֶמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַמַּשָּׂא ֹשֶל גּוֹי, חַיָב לִפְרֹק וְלִטְעֹן מִשּׁוּם צַעַר הַיִשְׂרָאֵל

The animal of a non-Jew, if the non-Jew is driving one of his animals, whether the burden is a Jews or whether it’s a non-Jews, he is not obligate [in the above two prohibitions]. He only has to remove the load, because of [the prohibition against causing] “pain to living things”, and he is permitted to accept pay for it. However, to load [the animal], he is not obligated at all — except if there is a possibility of enmity [by not helping].

But if there is no non-Jew there, rather a Jew who is driving the animal, he is also obligated to load [the animal] because of the pain of the Jew. Similar if it’s a Jew’s animal and a non-Jew’s burden [being carried by it], he must both unload and load [the animal] because of the pain of the Jew.
