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 Paraparaumu Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Paraparaumu 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 Paraparaumu 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!

My approach
I specialise in one-on-one walks with dog-reactive dogs. Every walk aims to start and finish with a few minutes of peaceful observation of the world going by. I specifically avoid close proximity to other dogs, while still building ease with dogs at a distance.&nbsp;
If treats are provided, I use them to provide positive reinforcement. If no treats are provided, I offer a few of my own while focusing primarily on praise-based reinforcement and calm body language.&nbsp;
In-person introductions are crucial for everyone involved. Once I have an understanding of your dog's baseline personality and behaviour, as well as more details around their reactivity and triggers, we can decide together if we're a good, safe fit.&nbsp;
For my own safety, I prefer to walk dogs weighing under 30kg. That's negotiable, of course, on a dog-by-dog basis.
For dogs weighing under 15kg, I also have a fully-enclosed all-terrain dog carriage. This is a fantastic resource for senior dogs or dogs with joint issues or those recovering from illness or injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
My story&nbsp;&nbsp;
I'm a 40-year-old shift worker in the healthcare field, which gives me flexibility to walk and visit during weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I currently share my life with four cats and one dog. Dante is my goofball Beardie/Lab X. I've owned two previous dogs - my soul-dog, Topaz, was a Keeshond, and my family dog, Toby, was a Husky/Border Collie X. Spitzes and Collies are where most of my breed experience lies.&nbsp;
I've learned so much about dog reactivity over the last few years. When my dog Dante had an unforeseen scare as a young adolescent, he decided to make it clear forevermore that when it comes to new and unfamiliar dogs, he values his personal space. Cue a years-long crash course in dog behaviour and etiquette. The lessons are still ongoing, and day by day they become clearer and more positive. I have a new appreciation for otherwise good-natured dogs who struggle with proximity to other dogs. Helping them learn to down-regulate and find confidence in their surroundings has become a passion of mine for life.&nbsp;
I look forward to meeting you and your good girls and boys!

Hi,
My name is Steve &amp; I live in Paraparaumu Beach with my rescue dog.
I have been around dogs in particularly all my life. Either family pets or helping look after friends dogs.&nbsp;
I have been a volunteer at different Wellington animal rescue centres for over 5 years mostly being dog focused although also some cats. I am confident around &amp; used to dealing with dogs of all ages, sizes &amp; temperaments. I've also volunteered with a local dog training club so also familiar with dog training techniques .
I have used Pawshake services for a couple of years to assist with my dog when busy/out &amp; now I have some free time on my hands thought would be a good oppurtunity to help out with other local dogs.
When not walking/taking care of my dog or volunteering my other passions are travel &amp; music.
Any questons then feel free to get in touch.

Steve&nbsp;
