Top cities for cat sitting in New Zealand

Many cat owners will understand that cats can be fussy and prefer their own home environment rather than an unfamiliar place like a cattery or cat hotel. Although some cats can adapt to cat boarding if they have to, most cats become stressed when transported somewhere new.

This is where a friendly Ohope Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Ohope cat sitting expert can come and visit your cat while you are away on holiday or at work. A cat sitter can even stay overnight if required, which is far less stressful than sending your feline friend to a cattery for cat boarding. Whether you just need a sitter for a couple of hours or someone to visit each day for a week, our Ohope cat sitters can tailor their service to suit you and please even the fussiest kitty.

Although most cats are independent, having a cat carer visit has a lot of benefits. Your chosen Pawshake cat sitter can feed, freshen up the water bowl, tidy the litter tray, and spend quality time with your cat. And unlike a cattery or cat hotel, your cat can chill out in their own familiar space.

Finally, every booking with Pawshake is with a verified carer and includes the Pawshake Guarantee and veterinary coverage, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your feline companion!

Hi! I'm Cassandra.
I am an animal lover, favourites being cats. I am South African. I immigrated to New Zealand in 2023. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds and fish.
In the past I have fostered kittens through an organisation. My two cats are foster fails, who immigrated with me. I have also fed feral colonies in South Africa. These cats are not lap cats. We love them by feeding them and admiring them at a distance.
I have done a short wildlife rehabilitation course, then volunteered for an organisation in South Africa (South African Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre) for a period of 7 months. I stabilised birds before going to the rehabilitation centre. My main intakes were dog and cat catches.
I volunteer for SPCA Whakatane every fortnight, seeing to the cats.
At the moment, I am a stay-at-home mum. I have a 2 year old daughter, who often comes along with me wherever I go. My daughter has learnt with our two cats, to be cautious and only touch if I allow her.
I am readily available.
My one cat has a medical condition, I give him oral medication every day. I am confident with giving medication should your pet need it.
It is important for a cats area to be clean. Cats litter trays and eating areas should be cleaned daily. Let your cat feel at home, while at home!
My home visits are focused on, but not limited to, cats. Home visits are ideal for small pets.
&nbsp;Every day I visit I will attend to the following:
- See to litter trays (give proper clean if longer than 4 days)
- Clean pets dishes
- Feed
- Give fresh water
- Give medication (non-injectable) if required.
- Playtime, combing (if your pet likes it).
- Update owner with photo and any out of the ordinary information.
- Emptying letter box, watering plants if required, Taking out bins if required.
Area: Whakatane


I've been obsessed with dogs since I was very young. As soon as I was in a position to have my own as an adult the decision was already made!&nbsp;
I believe that the bond you share with your animal is something like no other. I have two dogs of my own (5y+2y)which I spend each morning walking with them and practicing training along the way. There is always space to strengthen communication, stimulate their mind, and get some exercise in with dogs. Not every day is perfect but every day is progress and if nothing else it's always good to be outdoors.&nbsp;
My motivation to be a pet sitter is to add value and maintain structure to your pet's quality of life. I know traveling around can be a bit distressing for some pets, and us kiwi's love to be on the move, so I want to offer the option of making your pet feel at home if you're unable to be. Whether that be providing a walk at a time you're unable to, sticking to their eating schedule, having some companionship in the home, or coming for a day-stay.
I have experience walking and caring for both large and small dogs, and love to see the different personalities dogs have when you spend time with them. The experience of seeing a dog gain their confidence through guidance is very rewarding to me. I do ask that you give a good briefing of the dog's regular personality traits so that I can understand their baseline.&nbsp;
As I have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly, I like to make sure pets are vaccinated and fixed as mine both are. Your dog will also need to get along with other dogs.&nbsp;
If there are any special food requirements you can let me know. It is important that your pet feels at home, so if you can provide their bed this usually helps them settle in nicely.&nbsp;
All dogs sleep inside, unless otherwise requested.&nbsp;
If you also have a cruisy handbag dog that is happy coming along for errands then that is fine with me too! No descrimination here.&nbsp;
Any other question's just flick me a message.&nbsp;
