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

Hi, I'm Laura, a British girl living in the beautiful Mount. 
I have always been a dog- lover, and this love was heightened by my darling Bailey, a golden labradoodle. We had Bailey for 10 years and he was my angel. Bailey taught me so much about caring for dogs - the importance of a good walk, lots of good ball throws and always stopping to sniff all the good smells on walk. Since losing Bailey there has always been a dog shaped hole in my heart, a walk just isn't the same without a fury companion. 
I like to keep myself active, always going for walks and I would love some four- legged company (any age, shape or size). 
Alongside walks, I am available to drop by your home and keep your beloved fur baby company for a while. 
I am available evenings, and all day every Friday. I can also do most weekends. 
I'm very flexible - I understand that plans can change last minute. 

Hello! I’m Emily, based near Bayfair (did someone say beach....)  I’m a natural animal lover - how can you not be?! While you’re away, I do my best to make the transition from home to my place feel as easy and comfortable as possible for your pet. I do also offer to option to stay at your home if this is preferred.

I live alone, so it’s usually a calm, quiet space which suits pets that prefer a relaxed environment. I do have a 3 year old daughter who stays with me fortnightly (she's very good around animals too), but incase you are after that quieter setting, I’ll always let you know ahead of your booking - I completely understand.

I’m happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether that’s walks, playtime or just having company. I’ve grown up around animals, so it all comes very naturally and I genuinely enjoy it. If they’re up for it, they might even spend a day as my little office buddy.

I know leaving your pet can feel like a big deal, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins. I’m always happy to meet beforehand too 🤍

An introduction to me:
I grew up in South Africa surrounded by pets. My friends often referred to our home as a farm. We averaged around 6 dogs and 6 cats at any given time throughout my childhood. We have had a Ridgeback, Great Dane, Shorkie, Basset Hound, Swiss Sheppard, German Sheppard as well as a Shiba Inu and other crossbreeds over the years. My pets always sleep on the bed with me and often sit on the couch with me too. We always played fetch with our dogs in the garden, as well as the odd wrestle now and then. They loved being taken on walks to the beach and playing in the waves.
I love cats just as much (although that love may not be reciprocated, lol). I learned to understand the temperament of a cat and to respect their need to choose you, and that they cannot be told when to be loving and affectionate. Cats seem to enjoy my laid-back personality and eventually come for a cuddle. I have loved the characters we had over the years.
My experience:
I have house-sat and looked after pets in South Africa and Northern Ireland. In South Africa, I house-sat for a week, where I looked after 2 Ridgebacks (and broke up a fight between them- not fun!), as well as 2 cats in that house too. I have looked after another South African family's house and dogs for a week, where I looked after a Border Collie, Belgian Malinois, Kelpie, Collie x Kelpie and Jack Russell.&nbsp;
In Northern Ireland, I house-sat and looked after French Bulldogs on numerous occasions.
Should you be interested in my services, please feel free to reach out. I am happy to arrange a meetup your furry friends to see if your pets are comfortable with me. I can also provide references for all of my experience listed above, should it bring you more comfort.


Hello, I love animals and I have experience dog sitting for different types of breeds. I am an active person that enjoys the gym, playing different sports and being outdoors. I have always enjoyed nature, I have a Biology degree, and all sorts of animals (fish, cats, birds, you name it). Because of my active nature, I enjoy taking the pets out for walks in the beach or dog friendly areas. 
I have been doing pet sitting for friends on a casual basis. As of 2025 I became a proud dog dad to Gizmo, a little rescue and most of my time is spent with him. I have experience staying with a pet for a weekend or a month, flexible with time. 
Always keen to accommodate for special needs for diverse animals.
If you have any specific questions please reach out. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

I am Sarai I have just moved to the mount and would love to take your little bff for walks to the beach parks and look after them. I am a very loving responsible active person who grew up around lots of pets since I was a baby and have had lots of furry friends ever since! I lived in papamoa beach for a bit where I looked after our flat dog khaleesi through her surgeries and before and after she got better and we were allowed to run around and go to cafes for treats!
I have lots of experience taking care of my dogs / cats as well as friends safely bringing them home from fun beach walks and I'm looking to get more experience as I'm wanting to go back to New York and do dog walking there as well! 

I loved moving to the mount (near the ocean and next to the park) and have decided to stay here for a little longer and get to know the area better and would love to meet you and help you out with your pets in the meantime! 
I do live right next to the park so if you leave your little friend with me we will have a lot of fun playing in the park as there's usually other friends that come play there! We have a fully fenced backyard where we will be safe and able to play also :) 


Looking for a house sitter? You've found the right person!I absolutely love pets and will shower them with more affection than you could ever expect. Your furry friends will be in great hands, getting all the love and care they deserve. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just hanging out with your pets, I'll make sure they feel happy and loved while you're away. Plus, I'm super house-proud, so you can trust that your home will be well looked after and kept in tip-top shape.A little about my journey to becoming a house sitter: I didn't grow up with animals, but everything changed when I helped a friend look after their pets. I discovered a deep love for animals that grew stronger with each house sitting experience. Now, after a couple of years house sitting looking after pets and house, I can't imagine my life without caring for pets and homes. Let me take care of your home and beloved pets, ensuring they receive all the love and attention they deserve while you're away. 

Service: Offer overnight house sit. 

I love being with dogs and am working towards training animals to work with youth at risk. I have my own fluffy pooch who is a certified canine friend and great companion. 
We have a multi level home close to the beach. The back yard is fully fenced and has generous lawn area for dogs to play, some trees for shade and paving stones for wet days!  On hot days we put up a small paddling pool or if you are happy fit in a beach visit. 
I am happy to look after any house trained dog in my own house, or if requiring toilet training I can do this in your own home, for an additional cost. 
I am usually at home with the dogs unless it is for a quick supermarket shop or short meeting. During this time dogs are in a secure area and comfortable, always with water accessed from a drinking fountain. If you have a crate or special bed this can be put up so that they feel at home. 
Being with dogs is my happy place. I have more experience with smaller breeds but am comfortable with dogs full stop. My husband and I are empty nesters and both of us love animals. I am trustworthy and can establish a rapport with dogs quickly.
We will only take vaccinated, toilet trained and neutered dogs into our home, but happy to dog sit in your home if you can't meet this criteria. (Fee may differ depending on travel time)

Hi, I’m Jhone!
I’ve always loved animals and have gained valuable experience training my own dogs with the guidance of professional trainers. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle different behaviours, understand their needs, and provide positive, enriching care for pets.
I’m also deeply committed to animal welfare. I’ve volunteered regularly at the SPCA and local animal shelters, helping care for animals in need. Additionally, I donate food and handmade pet beds I’ve created from repurposed fabrics, combining my love for animals with sustainability.
For your pets, I offer more than just care—I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Dogs will enjoy engaging and stimulating walks tailored to their energy levels and personality, while also benefiting from reinforced good behaviour. My goal is to keep your pet physically active, mentally stimulated, and emotionally secure.
As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate your needs, whether it’s daily walks, one-off visits, or last-minute bookings. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Let me help make life easier for you and happier for your pets—let’s work together to ensure they thrive!


About Me and My Motivation to Be a Pet Sitter
Hello! My name is Paula, i am from Spain, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family and I have cared for around twelve dogs in total, and right now I live with five wonderful ones—each with their own unique personality. Some live with my father, others with my mother, and one belongs to my father’s partner, so I’m constantly involved in their care and daily routines.
Spending time with dogs truly makes me happy. I love walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered walking and caring for dogs in need, which gave me even more experience handling different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Through that, I learned how much a little love, patience, and attention can change a dog’s day.
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my genuine love for animals and my desire to help others care for their furry friends when they can’t be there.

Kia ora animal lovers, I'm Anika, I'm 24 and I work full-time in Wellington CBD. The furry friend in my photo is my brother Zeus, he's a 12 year old Maltese. Our family is big on spending time outside, we love the occasional treat and daily walks are a must to have a productive day.&nbsp;
I grew up around dogs, and a cat. Since moving down to wellington, I have missed having a buddy join me on my walks. My previous experience is with my family dogs which range from small to medium sized dogs, but have dog sat casually for friends with larger dogs in the past. At this stage, my services include dog walking and home visits. I won't be house-sitting or dog-sitting, at my home or yours.&nbsp;
While visiting your home, I take great care in making sure I lock up and leave everything as you left it. I am happy to bring in mail or water your plants if needed. I will take your dog(s) out for a walk and then spend some time playing with them at home. I estimate this taking an hour but am fllexible to reduce or extend this time if required.&nbsp;
Ideally, I like to walk in a dog friendly park if there is one close by, alternatively I would take them for a walk around the neighbourhood. If your dog travels well in a car and you're okay with it, I'm happy to drive them to a park if it's slightly too far out from where you live. I know there are some small dog friendly parks near Karori, Wadestown, and Crofton Downs.&nbsp;
I have experience and am comfortable administering oral medications to small - medium sized dogs. The black poodle cross in my profile had seizures and required two medications taken orally every couple hours. I have also had experience looking after him through and post seizures.&nbsp;
I am usually available in the afternoon and evenings on a weekday, but am free all day on weekends.&nbsp;
If you're based anywhere around Wellington's north-west or central suburbs I am happy to come meet you.&nbsp;&nbsp;


Kia Ora! My names Izzy and have both personal and professional experience with animals, id love to be able to do some regular dog walks or house check ins. 
I have had medium dogs (black lab, and golden retrievers) throughout my life, and I'm desperately missing my parent's two golden retriever puppies back in the UK. I grew up in a busy household always with fury friends; dogs and cats, bunnies, hamster and guinipigs as well as chickens and more! And some less fluffy ones too such as snakes, a gecko, frogs and snails! I have professional experience with farm and exotic animals from working in a zoo for three years, and also studied zoo and aquarium management.
I love animals and travel this had lead to me working for "stand up 4 elephants" in Nepal, an amazing charity hoping to improve the welfare of elephants in Nepal twice. This included making the food for the elephants, goats and cats on site. As well as site maintenance, cooking and school projects. 
Back home I was a complex care mental health support worker and trapeze teacher on the side. My last client of two years had one dog and 5 cats, I cared for these animals and helped with two litters of kittens while supporting my client in my role.&nbsp;
I love walking, especially if I have a dog to lead the way! 
I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way through to the gorgeous oldies! I have also supported my best friend who walks high profile dogs in London for a living when I'm visiting. 
I also have experience with giving medications if needed.&nbsp;
I know what's it's like to having to leave much loved pets in the hands of other people and I will take the upmost care of all your lovely animals! I will also send updates and photos if that's what you'd like
