"Taylor was very friendly and punctual. She communicated fast and was so helpful for us and our dogs. She’s excellent, everything we expected from a sitter/pet sitter. Super trustworthy and caring. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Taylor after our trip to say thank you in person then to see how our dogs were with her, we knew they were very happy and in safe hands. They simply love Taylor. Highly, highly recommended and will be our first choice every time!"

"Unna was a fabulous dog/house sitter. Great communication before and while staying. She sent daily pics of dogs which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Upon our return, the house was especially clean and tidy. We are happy to highly recommend Unna for house/dog sitting."

"Margorie was a wonderful house sitter for our 16 mnth old dog who has anxiety. She had great communication with us during her stay and regularly updated us with our dogs progress with messages and photos. The house was neat and tidy just like we left it, if not better, and treated our home with respect. I would recommend her to anyone that requires a house and dog sitter and would definitely ask her again in the future."

"Emma is absolutely awesome. She is a kind person who loves animals and that shows in the way she treats them. She took such good care of my really shy furbaby. She is super with communication, flexible and has been so understanding of my personal situation. She has been an absolute life saver for me as I was in a pickle due to some travel issues and needed her to take care of my furbaby for longer. She offers to do little things like grocery runs even without asking which shows how genuinely thoughtful she is. My cat loves her and I have the highest regard for her as a person and as a house sitter and pet carer. "

"I couldn't recommend Hye Jin more. I felt totally confident and comfortable leaving our pets and house with Hye Jin. She is reliable, trustworthy, hard-working and a safe pair of hands. We have a dog, and also a complex parrot, who we have never left with a sitter before - Hye Jin spent time learning about her needs and how to look after her happily and safely. I felt comfortable leaving our parrot with Hye Jin as she picked up things quickly, showed maturity and responsibility. I'm so glad to have found someone to leave her with. Due to being a vet student and having diverse experiences volunteering, I felt confident in Hye Jin. She did a wonderful job with both of them, and sent us lots of lovely reassuring photo updates - they seemed to have a blast with Hye Jin! She left the home clean and tidy. Will definitely be a regular with Hye Jin, can't wait to book our next trip!!"

"I had the privilege of working with Jashmita for the Kings Birthday long weekend and I am so very pleased to have had her in my home for my pets. She was engaging, respectful and bubbly and my dogs were very happy with being able to stay in their own home, still get their routine and treats and have cuddles along the way. Jashmita was respectful of my home, and I will most definitely book her again in the future. Thanks "

"Caroline was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, really relaxed, very communicative. She treated the animals as good as our home. She didn't have it easy as our puppy was a bit confused and out of his normal rhythm, which meant she had to deal with quite a bit of indoor toilet mistakes. I am sure she was knackered after the weekend because he was a lot to handle, since he couldn't hide his enthusiasm having a playmate staying over (Caroline's dog) and forgot about all the commands and rules he had learned so far but she never made us feel guilty, or made us feel like she couldn't handle it or was annoyed at the pup. We felt blessed with finding such a great person to house- and fur-babysit. "

Why house sitting ?

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 Palmerston North 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 Palmerston North.

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 Palmerston North 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Palmerston North on Pawshake. Over 308 pet owners in Palmerston North have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
