Top cities for house sitting in New Zealand

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Karaka home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Karaka.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Karaka home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hi there!
My name is Kelly, and I'm offering dog walking services! I'm currently very flexible and am available to work around your schedule.
I have extensive experience with dogs, and have one dog myself - a 2 year old Beagle x Spaniel mix. I have good dog handling skills, and experience with dog training. Above all I LOVE dogs and am super passionate about animals. I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds, from small to big.
Walks are so important for dogs and their highlight of their day and it's one way we can give back to them being such loyal companions for us. I'm happy to take your dog to their favorite place, take them off leash (if proplerly trained and well socialised) and ensure they're happy and satisfied for the rest of the day.&nbsp;
Please get in touch, will be great talk and discuss your furbaby!

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 also have some experience housesitting on Waiheke Island and Auckland making sure gardens are looked after, houseplants watered and furry family members are fed and loved.
I have experience administering medicine, creating a safe and comforting environment and managing special diets and you can trust that I will ensure the utmost care for your beloved pets as well.

I am happy tod do housesitting depending on access to public transport as well as drop in visits or dog walks depending on location.
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. 

Hey pet owners, I'm a kiwi who has moved to Syndey a few months agoWhy house sit:

I love animals. Grew up with a cat, chickens in the country (working for a dairy farm)
Experience different areas of AUS
Meet people / make connections
Missing my tuxedo cat 'Keh' from the photos (back in NZ). I work on my computer and had my cat by my side for 10 years (since a kitten)

Working from my laptop
I run an online marketing company and spend most of my time working. Have house sitted for cats and dogs. Familiar with big dogs and how to handle them.One thing I notice with animals is they use their eyes and head movement to communicate. It's very weird but I talk to all animals, birds, Insects in this way with my eyes/movements (it's a gut feeling, but could be crazy)Would love to do a video call for anyone wanting to talk. I've got house sitting references here in Australia and Auckland, New Zealand


Hi I'm Janae, I'm 33, married mother of a 11 &amp; 12 year old. We recently moved into the Hunua/ Clevedon area from Hamilton to expand our business. We are a big animal loving family and consider our pets as much loved family members. We have 2 ragdoll cats and 3 chickens currently. Myself and my husband have always had dogs growing up so we are hanging out to get a dog next. We enjoy the countryside and have lived rurally for the past 3 years, living on lifestyle blocks with sheep, cows, alpacas and pigs.
My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from requiring a sitter recently and discovering that there wasn't many in the Clevedon area.&nbsp;
I would prefer to come to your house to look after your pets while you are away as we are currently renting.
I also have a big love for indoor plants with close to 100 in my collection. I can also help water and care for your plants whilst you are away

I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon



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! ️
&nbsp;

As a dog lover with a deep sense of empathy and an active lifestyle, my decision to become a pet walker and companion in Auckland for the year was fueled by a genuine desire to fill the void left by being away from my beloved 3-year-old Vizsla back home in Christchurch. Every wag of a tail and every joyful bark reminds me of the companionship and love I share with my own furry friend. Despite the distance, I am committed to providing personalized care and attention to every dog I have the pleasure of meeting.
My considered approach ensures that each walk is tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the furry companions entrusted to my care. With weekends dedicated to this passion, I bring both dedication and joy to every outing, cherishing the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with each canine companion, knowing that in doing so, I am not only enriching their lives but mine as well.
I am available Saturday &amp; Sundays all day for walks and home visits for up to two hours at a time. Will ensure fresh water is available when leaving your precious pups. I am comfortable administering medication and assisting with grooming (brushing, nail clipping, baths) with owners tools. Very happy to bring in your mail and water your plants too.

Our home is small, however we do regular walks and adventures with our pup and will do the same with yours! We like to go around walks in the neighbourhood, in the Hunua Ranges and at the beach! Your pup will need to be fully vaccinated and house trained to stay with us!&nbsp;
