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 Takanini Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Takanini 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 Takanini 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 My Name is Laura, I love all animals and have experience looking after cats, dogs, birds and rabbits. I am very comfortable around animals as i have always been around them growing up. I am confident with administering oral medication if your pet needs daily medication. I am a very active person so my sevices will include going on 1 walk or run a day for about 30mins - 1 hour around my area or public parks, so your dog would be very well exercised and looked after. I live in a quiet neighbourhood that any pet would feel comfortable and safe in and I currently have no pets in my home. I also only take on 1 pet at a time so you dont need to worry if pet doesnt get along with other animals. As i am home most weekends i will be available to give 24hr attention to your pet and only going out for short periods to run basic errands. Pets are allowed free range of the house so they are allowed to sleep where they are most comfortable and our yard is fully fenced with a nice grassed area for them to play outside. I am also available over the Christmas and New Years period and public holidays so please get in touch if you are needing someone to look after your fur baby. 
Thanks&nbsp;
Laura&nbsp;

Hi, My name is Kayla and I would love to meet your animal friends and family.&nbsp;
Growing up in the US, my family was known as "The Zeller Zoo" since our home was lively with many kids and animals. As the eldest daughter, I was a responsible keeper of this "Zoo" that housed dogs, cats, fish, chickens, frogs, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs and even some more exotic pets such as a hedgehogs, reptiles and parrots.
I understand how important animals are in our lives and that they deserve the best care, love and respect we can give them. 
Services I provide: Dog walking, overnight house sitting (max 4 nights), and home visits.
Some perks if you choose me as your animal caregiver
1- I have experience with big and small dogs (largest breed example: German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees. Smallest breed example: Minature Pincher
2- I am very flexible and can often do last minute bookings
3- I am energetic and will play with and give undivided attention to your pet
4- I send photo/message updates
5- I am very patient and understand that animals sometimes need some kindness and grace
6- In case of emergency and with permission from the owner I can drive your pet to the vet
7- 30 min dog walks, they deserve time to explore!
I look forward to hearing from you! ️

I am an outstanding pet sitter due to my genuine love for animals and my strong commitment to their well-being. My extensive experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and smaller animals, has equipped me with the skills to manage different temperaments and care requirements effectively. I understand the importance of maintaining pets' routines, from feeding and exercise to medication, ensuring that each animal feels secure and comfortable in their environment. My attention to detail and reliable communication help keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pets' status. Additionally, my problem-solving abilities and readiness to handle any unexpected situations with care and efficiency further enhance my suitability as a pet sitter. With a focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

Happy to travel!

Hi I’m Maddie.
I’m 19 years old and I love dog walking and house sitting. Im currently job hunting in Auckland after I studied a one year Bible study course last year. I play music, like to cook, read, swim and exercise as well as look after my family. 
Ive been dog walking since I was 13 casually and started housesitting since 2022. I love pets, I've grown up with them and every animal I've met always seems to be comfortable around me. I've housesat for Guinea pigs, fish, birds, dogs and cats and have got some bookings for somewhere with chickens and sheep in a couple months time.
I’m reliable, caring, honest, friendly, polite, tidy and trustworthy. I strive to look after animals well, have fun with them and look after the house well too and hope to exceed expectations. 
My experience: I house sat in Masterton regularly for someone when I lived there, during weekends and looked after his cats. I house sat for a month in August 2022 for two french bulldogs. I currently house sit regularly for an elderly woman when she goes away, which has 3 cats. Occasionally I house sit for another who has 2 cats. A few references are below :) 
Housesitting reference 1:
Madison has looked after my cat on 4 occasions now, each time I’ve been away for a week. She charges a good price for her work. She’ll happily look after my cat, feed her, cuddle her, brush her and play with her&nbsp;and give her her cat meds. It’s nice to have someone who’s available to look after her when I need to. She also happily cleans my house for me as I’m a bit older and can’t deep clean, she cleans my oven and hob before she leaves, vacuums, mops and cleans the bathroom which is very nice to come back to clean and tidy.&nbsp;She’s a nice person and very trustworthy.                Collette G 12/03/24
Housesitting reference 2:
Hello, I have Madison come and house sit for my cat who has separation anxiety. She’s spent a lot of time with him, getting to know him so he’s comfortable&nbsp;with her. My cat Max knows when I go away, it’s every month for the weekend. With Madison he seems very comfortable which is comforting for me when I go away because I don’t want to stress about him, hoping he is okay.&nbsp;She spends a lot of time with him when she housesits so that he isn’t worried. If he becomes stressed about where I am he’ll meow and meow and run around the house wondering where I am. (This happened&nbsp;previously) it’s very nice to know that my cat is naturally happy around her and able to stay calm when I go away. She feeds him well, plays with him&nbsp;and brushes him daily and will give him cuddles to keep him happy. Glad to have her as my regular&nbsp;housesitter.                   Steve C   19/6/23
Housesitting reference 3:
Madison house sat and&nbsp;dog sat for me in August 2022 for a month while I was in Bali. She looked after my 2 bulldogs&nbsp;and sent me daily updates and videos of how they were doing.&nbsp;She would play with them, take them on a daily walk, feed them on time and occasionally give them a treat of peanut butter which they love.&nbsp;They seemed very calm and well behaved&nbsp;and was glad to have her looking after them. She left the house very tidy&nbsp;as well. Would happily have her look after them again.&nbsp;

Thank you 

Hi! My name is Jaspreet, i am a humble and funny person. For a few years now, I have been struggling mentally, and I love pets with all my heart, so animals have made me the most happiest i've been since High school. Even though I know it could be challenging, I am willing to take a step forward and do this! I do not have previous experience but i'm a quick learner and I am willing to even take a day trial with the owners watching over me. I could take pets into my home, only if my dad wasn't allergic. I'm usually available the whole day, but for house visits, I will be available in the mornings and afternoons. I can do 3-4 hours of home visits, which include watering your plants and bringing in your mail. I offer playing with pets and pet sitting/ being a friend they need when they're bored. I can house sit the whole day! I'd take security precautions like, locking the doors and windows; If it's night time, I'll keep the tv on for noise, I'll make sure to empty the mailbox and stay alert for unusual activities! 

Welcome! I have grown up with a dog from a young age and been a human mum to my own for 13 years. I am confident with dogs of all sizes (use to also own a large 65kg German Shepherd dog with a very strong pull that very few could manage, after rescuing him from a chained life). You will find me helping secure stray dogs and finding their owners (they seem to always find me!). I personally trained my own dog from a pup and have a good level of handling knowledge.
Open to negotiation on arrangements however I prefer to provide services away from my home due to having a dog myself at home so will not offer my home at this point in time (may change down the track). Services I can provide is feeding and walking. Visits can be once or twice a day depending on what is booked in. I can not do work hours during the week visits available are before and after work.
I have experience I administering tablets to my very smart sneaky dog (loves to spit them out), please contact me if your animal needs medication administered before booking.I have experience I administering tablets to my very smart sneaky dog (loves to spit them out), please contact me if your animal needs medication administered before booking.
Fitness is a big part of my life as a walker/endurance runner.
Availability (dates and slots available) is in short supply being a working mum (working in the Health and Safety space) but my quality for cost will always be key. I love taking photos and am happy to send photos through to reassure you your loved family member/s are ok.
I am friendly so please reach out to me to chat first if you are unsure about something or would like to meet first before booking (at no cost). Happy to meet and see if your animal and I will be the best fit to keep your mind at ease while you are away from them. I am confident with 99% of dogs however I will be upfront and upfront if I do not feel comfortable around your dog to be able to provide the services needed. Your pets happiness and my safety will always be priority over money.
Lastly I am based in Takanini and will travel dependant on location.
I love animals and am looking forward to support my families increase in costs while getting all the pats and fun in while doing so.

I am intuitive and have a great sense of animals needs and find such joy in being around them. I am communicative, trustworthy, passionate about the welfare of all living creatures. I am dedicated to giving exceptional service and aiding in the stress free living for pet owners. I have experience with dogs, cats and reptiles such as tortoises. I have lots of knowledge but I am always open to learning the quirks of each animal. My goals are always to ensure the utmost happiness to my clients and their furry friends. I moved to the area recently and I am looking forward to being a part of the community and helping and supporting pet owners. My services available are dog walking, visits at the owners home, and housesitting. I would love to be of help to you - let's work together! 

Responsible and professional in everything I do both in work and life. I take pride in my own home and treasured furball and would be honoured to look after your own.&nbsp;
I have experience looking after cats and dogs and have a little gremlin of my own called Sabbath.&nbsp;

I am not comfortable bringing pets into my own home unless small animals such as a rat or mouse or bird etc that can be in an enclosure. I much prefer to make sure your animal is comfortable and looked after in their own home to reduce stress.

Hello I'm Bridie. If you are looking for a pet sitter then look no further. I am an animal lover. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, mice, cows, sheep and chickens. I currently live with three cats. I would come to you and be a respectful guest as the cats at my place are not the most welcoming. I would love to be your pet sitter because I want you to feel like your furry member of the family is safe while you are away. I have experience pet sitting cats and dogs mostly. The most frequent have been Dobermans and rag doll cats. I am studying currently so I have a flexible schedule which means I'm looking for flexible work. I am happy to walk your pet, pet sit overnight and during the day. I am able to provide walking services, day care and overnight services. Please feel free to message me and ask any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

I am located in Manurewa and happy to service South Auckland pups, and I can also be based in Waihi Beach or the surrounding area for multi day bookings. 
I am happy to fluff-sit in your home (so long as I can pop out to check on my own dogs), walk your dogs, have them hang out with me for the day in my home or yours and administer any medication with the right training.
Overnight stays in my home can be arranged by negotiation. 
I like to do a meet and greet with you before engaging in work wherever possible.

Treat your pet into Pawsome care and love. Give them the most caring plans ever so that they need.I have been into pet sitting from when I have been in India. I absolutely love pets. They are like small children to me who need a lot of care and love. I have a pet back home in India whom I love most. Treating all the pets like my own would make me miss him less.&nbsp;I have had a lot of experience with pets back in India. I want to translate my experience to New Zealand and fill all our pets lives with love and care. There wouldn't be a moment your dog won't feel loved.Being around dogs and pets also reduces our lives stress by 50 percent because of the innocence they provide. I am looking forward to taking care of your pet and providing the utmost care they would need. Comfortable with any pet and willing to go out of my way to cater to their needs.Dog walks and night sitting&nbsp;
