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 Queenstown 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 Queenstown.

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 Queenstown 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.

Going away for a family holiday or called away from work? Let me look after your furry family for you. 
I am a crazy cat lady at heart but because I rent and travel I haven't been able to have my own cats since I left home. So I cat sit so I can get as many kitty cuddles as I can. I have previously worked as a independent cat sitter in Melbourne and really enjoyed it and have house sat for friends and family for years. 
I am offering home visits or house sitting as I believe animals (especially cats) prefer to stay in their own homes. I will send you regular photo or video updates so that you know that your fur babies are not missing you too much and will ensure that they have everything they need while your away. Happy to sort their Breakfast and Dinner and make sure they have a clean bathroom and fresh water. I am also comfortable administering oral medication if required. 
I am clean, policed checked, fully vaccinated and a non smoker. You can be confident that your fur babies are in good hands. -References available. 

**** Work from home at the moment. Can provide 100% supervision where needed. Prefer small to medium dogs due to the size of my girls. *****&nbsp;

~UPDATE~ currently Rotorua 
My name is Monique, I will be travelling and can provide house sitting in different locations.
 I would love to look after your furbaby for you. I live with 2 Yorkshire Terrier 6 year old girls, Lisa and Daisy. Being a paw-parent can be difficult and I have made use of Pawshake before for my own girls so I understand how difficult it can be to leave them with a stranger. I am used to mine being around me all the time and your pup will be well looked after. Vaccination certificates and spaying/neutering proof to be shown and please ensure flea and worm treatments are up to date please. Please provide your pets own food or other dietary requirements and bed/toys to make it less disruptive for them.
Now offering house sitting as well to look after your pet in their own home. My two dogs travel with me but can keep them separated if required. Usually when on neutral ground once dogs go on a walk together and their owners are not there that they feel protective over they settle into a pack. 
Look forward to meeting you and your lovely fur baby.&nbsp;
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Regards,
Monique
