Top cities for pet sitting in New Zealand

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Tauranga that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Tauranga to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Tauranga. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Tauranga. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Tauranga.

Kia Ora!&nbsp;
Myself and my family (husband and daughter) moved to NZ from SA in 2023 and all that is missing is our very own pet! We all have a great love for animals and would love to be able to show your fur babies some love.&nbsp;
I was a pet sitter back in Cape Town for a few years and had quite a big client base. I have experience with dogs and cats, and had a special fortay for Huskies.&nbsp;
In a few years once we have bought our own home, we are very excited to fill the yard with a fur baby of our own! Until then, your fur babies will fill my heart!&nbsp;
I am able to provide references and a link to my pet sitting Facebook page.&nbsp;
I am excited to meet you and your pets and look forward to being able to assist in their care.&nbsp;

Being a pet owner myself, I know what it's like to go away on holiday and to worry about your beloved pet and getting them the care they need while you aren't there.
I want to provide the reassurance to you so you can holiday in peace. Also to be your support when life gets too hectic to ensure your beloved pup still gets their dose of fresh air and exercise. I have been around animals all my life. I currently have one cat that I adore and is my best buddy around the house. I have grown up with pets, cats and dogs. I have taken care of my Mums beloved dogs on numerous occasions - a greyhound and whippet - who are beloved members of the family - walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and cleaning up after them. My mum was a dog groomer and ran her business from home, so I spent a lot of time with different breeds of dogs growing up. We also bred poodles (standard and toy poodles).&nbsp;
I love being around animals and would love to help take care of yours! I can go to your home to spend time with your pet in their own surroundings where they feel most comfortable. Can spend up to 1 hour a day including playing with them, making sure they get plenty of interaction and stimulation so as to not be too bored. Can also bring in your mail and rubbish bins so it doesn't look so much that someone is away giving you further peace of mind and security.
Have also had experience with administering liquid antibiotics/anti-inflammatories to cats.
Maybe you are busy with work or even haven't got the mobility you once had. Happy to take your much loved pup for a walk - 30min a day - to get them out and about getting exercise they need. 

Kia Ora! My name is Ella, I am 22 and a qualified veterinary nurse living in Tauranga 
My journey with animal care began with a genuine love for all creatures, big and small, since I was a young girl. 
When your pets are in my care, I take the time to build a strong bond with them and creating a comfortable and safe environment. Whether it's administering medication, providing specialized diets, or simply offering a listening ear, I'm committed to going the extra mile to make your pets feel loved and content.
I am very competent and confident being around animals. I've had the privilege of nurturing and caring for many different species and breeds. With a background in veterinary nursing, I have the skills to ensure your pets receive the best care, tailored to their unique requirements.
Here's a few things about me:
1. I have worked in the vet industry for 3 years so I know how to care for animals, medicate them if needed, pet first aid,administer medications, flea &amp; worm treatment, supplements etc. 
2. I have volunteered at the Tauranga spca for over 6 years
3. I have looked after other people's animals for longer than I can remember, ranging from cats, dogs of all sizes and even sheep, rabbits and chickens!
4. I have owned dogs, fish and birds in the past and now have a cat!
5. I am very flexible with days
6. I have a full, clean drivers licence 
If you're looking for a pet sitter who not only understands animals but also has the expertise to ensure their well-being, you've found your match. Let's create a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pets! 
I hope to hear from you!

Hi I’m Kate, I grew up on a farm and always had my own pet, be-it: sheep, horses, cows, dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. Anything I could find on a farm I would nurture and keep one as a pet. I’m now a stay-at-home mum, living in town with my husband, our 3 young children (5yrs, 3yrs &amp; 2yrs), a friendly dog and an old handsome cat. I can’t imagine not having animals around us or our kids as they grow up. 

Our dog Bosco bear is a friendly energetic character, making doggy friends on the daily. He is well trained and comes with me everywhere. 

We live in a pet friendly home full fenced with no restrictions. Located next to two dog friendly parks. 

In order for us to make sure everyone is being looked after, your dog will need to be good with children and cats, as our youngest child is at home and our cat is 13yrs old.

I’ve had experience house sitting over the years looking after dogs and cats. Your dog will be part of the family, receive cuddles and will join us for walks, beach trips, parks and activities. 

Hi there! 
I'm Jenny, a reliable and caring pet lover based in Judea. I offer services in Judea, the Mount and other  nearby surrounding suburbs e.g. Brookfield, Otumoetai, Bellevue, Matua. But honestly, I am really flexible so get in touch and I'm likely to be able to make it work!
My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.
I grew up with animals and though I would like to have pets of my own I'm not really setup for it right now, so love to dote on other people's pets whenever I'm given the chance! Animals seem to enjoy my company too and I've had many of my friends and family entrust their fur babies with me while they've gone away. 
I can do walks and home visits, as well as overnight stays. And in the case of overnight stays I'm happy to discuss with you other needs while you're away like clearing mail and watering indoor plants. 
I look forward to hearing from you!
Jenny

Hello! 
I'm Mia, and I'd love to meet your furry family member! I've just made the move to Tauranga, which means that while I'm looking for work I've got more time to take care of your little ones. Usually, I'm a Senior Account Manager at a design agency, so my life is dedicated to client service and juggling lots of responsibilities. I'm also very lucky to be an Aunty to two nieces under 3 who I adore. 
I'm so looking forward to having a doggy pal of my own but unfortunately my partner and I aren't currently living somewhere we can home pets. Until then, I'm the first person to put my hand up for those around me who are needing dog sitters and have absolutely loved doing so. I have experience in looking after both younger puppies and older dogs with a range of medical and dietary needs and temperaments. 

Please note, my prices on Pawshake are substantially higher to cover the 19% fee Pawshake deducts. To book at my regular rate, please enquire via my Facebook page: Holly's House and Pet Sitting.
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm Holly, 30 years old, and a highly experienced dog walker and pet sitter based in Tauranga. In fact, pet sitting used to be my full time source of accommodation, prior to the pandemic! I absolutely love animals, having grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats. I have cared for pets of all kinds of sizes, health needs and quirky personalities, so there's not much that can faze me! As a bonus, I'm self employed, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability, and if you need a pet sitter who will be home all day, I can provide that. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares deeply for your pets as if they were my own, who pays attention to detail and who is always professional and punctual, let's talk!
