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

catSitting

I am a caring and responsible pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and treats them as part of the family. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and emotional needs, and I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away.

I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I am patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always aim to create a calm and loving environment where pets can settle in easily.

I maintain a clean, quiet home and follow proper hygiene and safety standards at all times. For health and safety reasons, I only accept fully vaccinated pets. My motivation comes from seeing pets happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.

I'm ready to be a cat sitter. 

 About Me
Hi! I’m Freddee. An animal lover from Malaysia, now living in Dunedin as a full-time student. I have three much-loved cats (two Maine Coons and one domestic shorthair) who are currently staying at my home in Auckland while I study. Living with them has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and an intuitive understanding of animal needs, especially when it comes to cats. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have a calm and reliable nature, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I offer friendly, attentive care in your pet’s familiar home environment and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a dog walk, or house sitting while you're away, I aim to keep both pets and owners happy and relaxed.

Hi there! My name is Ashlin, and I’ve been proud to call beautiful Aotearoa home for the past eight years, originally from South Africa. My family and I are lifelong animal lovers who adore caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles (we share our home with a friendly bearded dragon named Smaug!) :)
Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets, including dogs and reptiles, and understand that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like part of our own family, with patience, love, and genuine care. Whether your furry (or scaly!) friend needs a cuddle, a walk, or simply some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
Reliable, calm, and experienced with all temperaments - your pet will always be in great hands!
Thanks for your time, We look forward to engaging with you :)



Hi, my name is Nancy, and I’m passionate about helping pet owners feel at ease when they can’t be at home. I offer daily walks and check-ins for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and chickens. Whether it’s stretching their legs, topping up food and water, or giving them some company, I make sure every pet feels cared for and safe.I am an active member of the North Shore Dog Training Club, where I train my own dogs in obedience and agility. This experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, patience in handling different temperaments, and the ability to keep pets positively engaged during walks and visits.I also have hands-on experience with small animals like guinea pigs and chickens, ensuring their routines are kept consistent and their environments clean and comfortable.My motivation is simple: animals bring joy and companionship, and I love being able to return that by giving them comfort and care when their families are busy or away. You can trust me to treat your pets with kindness, patience, and respect—just as if they were my own.

Hi, I’m Jam, a dedicated animal lover with years of experience caring for pets, both cats and dogs. Couple years ago, I had two charming cow cats who brought so much joy and comfort into my life. I love spending quality time with them. Being around pets makes me feel relaxed and loved, and I cherish the connections I build with animals.

Last year, I had an incredible experience dog-sitting for a golden retriever named Shochu. She was well-behaved and such a joy to be around. We spent a month together, and I took her on adventures to beautiful places like Oamaru and Akaroa. That experience deepened my appreciation for dogs and sparked my interest in dog-walking as a part-time job.

Traveling with dogs and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-exercised has become something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve found that I get along well with dogs and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry friend with the care and attention they deserve, whether it’s through daily walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures.

Hi, I’m Zoe! I absolutely love animals and have always enjoyed being around them. I have a pet named Taco, who brings so much joy into my life, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members.

While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I’m responsible, caring, and eager to provide the best care for your pet. Whether your pet loves to play, needs extra cuddles, or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away.

For home visits, I typically stay for at least 30 minutes to ensure your pet gets enough attention and care. I can also water plants and bring in the mail if needed. Recently I have been helping my neighbour feed and take care of her cat twice a day while she is away.

If your dog needs a walk, I offer 30- to 45-minute walks in safe, pet-friendly areas like parks or quiet neighbourhoods.

For the safety of all pets in my care, I only accept vaccinated animals into my home. If you’re looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter, I’d be happy to help. Let’s chat about how I can care for your pet like my own!
