Weekend Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Pets Like Family
I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Although I didn't grow up with pets, I dreamed of having a dog since I was four years old, and that dream became a reality when I cared full-time for my sister's dog, Cookie, for two years during the pandemic. Cookie was an extremely shy and anxious pup when my sister rescued her from a shelter. But once we slowly introduced her to interacting with one person at a time and  widened her trust circle, her personality truly shined. The key was patience and positively distracting her from any behaviours that  we wanted to discourage. Looking after her brought me so much joy and confirmed how much I love spending time with animals.
While I'm a financial analyst by profession and don't have professional pet care experience, I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy caring for furry companions. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you're away.
Services &amp; Availability

House sitting and pet sitting in your home.
Available on weekends, public holidays, and some long weekends.
I can occasionally be available from Thursday to Sunday when working remotely.
Happy to spend quality time with your pets, provide companionship, walks, feeding, and maintain their usual routines.

Pets I Care For

Dogs and cats.
Best suited to one or two pets at a time.
Larger groups of pets may not be the right fit for me.

Important Information

I live in a rental property and cannot host pets in my own home.
All pet care is provided from the comfort and familiarity of your pet's home.
I work full-time during the week, so my services are focused on weekends, holidays, and selected remote-working days.

I know how much pets mean to their families, and I will care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect that I gave Cookie.


Hola! My name is Sergio, and I’m a veterinarian from Colombia with a deep passion for animals and nature. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for many beloved pets—cats, dogs, and even horses—and my career has only strengthened my understanding and love for all creatures. I’m known to be reliable, friendly, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of animals, which is why many have entrusted me with their pets’ care over the years.

I’m currently in New Zealand and am also exploring opportunities to house sit. For me, house sitting is not only a way to help others feel at ease while they’re away, but also a wonderful chance to discover the natural beauty and unique places this country has to offer. I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. I have had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits and doves. I have a natural connection to all animals and love taking care of them. I have a soft spot with all animals. 
I often look after my co-workers dogs and puppies and go on daily walks with my black Lab Jessey. My cat Pepe is also very clingy and requires lots of cuddles.
Growing up I've had beagles, labs, golden retrievers, 4 cats and a few bunnies and Guinea pigs. I had responsibilities from a young age of feeding, walking, bathing etc
I support my friend who owns an animal rescue business and will always donate to them. 
Making a safe and loving environment is my top priority for any animal so I would love to meet and care for your baby, just as I would for my own. 
My services are overnight stays and potential dog walking if close to my area which is along the river walk, dog park or Hamilton Lake. I like to go for 30-45 min walks depending on the dog. I am available Friday evening through to Monday evenings. 
I am open to house/ pet sitting on weekends.

Hello! My name is Stella, and I am a caring, reliable, and passionate pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. I have always loved being around pets and understand how important they are as part of the family. Because of this, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own.
My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from my genuine love for animals and my desire to help pet owners feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. I know that leaving a pet can sometimes be stressful, so I aim to provide a trustworthy and friendly service that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.
I offer dog walking as well as one - day and two - day pet visits. During visits, I can feed pets, refresh water, provide playtime, take dogs for walks, and make sure they receive lots of attention and care.
I also have previous experience caring for pets through babysitting and helping friends or family look after their animals. These experiences have helped me understand different pet personalities and the importance of patience and responsibility when caring for animals.
The services that include dog walking, I am very much happy to walk your dog for at least 30 minutes so they are able to stretch their legs, get to smell different smells and play around with other dogs. 

Hi! I'm a student based in Hillcrest, Hamilton. A huge animal lover who wants to help you and spend time with your pets. I've grown up with two dogs, Pippi and Jack, who were part of my family. We also had chickens and cats and I have friends with farms so I'm used to being around all sorts of animals.
I adore my friends and family's pets and love to lend a hand/ spend quality time with them.
Due to no longer having any dogs (they recently passed) I'm keen to fill the void by dog walking and / or dog sitting.
I'm new to this app but not new to looking after all sorts of wonderful animals!
I understand dogs have different needs and am open to meeting their needs. For walking I'm happy to go to local parks or river walks, I'm also happy to stay around familiar environments if that works better.
My preference is dogs are vaccinated and have experience walking on a lead.
Please get in touch if you'd like to arrange anything :)




My name is Belinda, and I am a 25 year old mum to an adorable 5 year old tortoiseshell cat, and a new mum to my sweet human baby.
I have been feeding cats for the duration of my maternity leave and I absolutely fell in-love with it. Looking after all the cutest and sweetest little furry friends has been such a pleasure, and I would love to continue looking after and making more furry friends.&nbsp;
Animals are a passion of mine, as I grew up on a farm and was always surrounded by plenty of them. Taking care of them came naturally to me, yet I am always learning new things about them and I love it.
Because I am a mum of my beautiful baby (cat) I understand the stress of leaving them for any duration of time, so that is why I want to become a full time pet feeder, as I want you to feel comfortable knowing your baby is in safe and caring hands while you are away.&nbsp;
I am only offering feedings at this time, as I am also a full time mum to my 6 month old (human) baby.&nbsp;


ABOUT ME: Kia ora! I'm Luna and I'm a postgraduate student at The University of Waikato. My husband and I are a child-free couple &amp; used to have two furbabies in the Philippines. Since Philippines in not in the approved list of NZ to transport pets from, we couldn't get them here YET because we need to save up for full pet migration agency service. Our babies are Aloy (female, local Filipino dog breed) and Kylo (a mixed breed Beagle and Bully; unfortunately, he died just last October 17, 2024 due to blood parasitism and it broke our hearts totally).
MOTIVATION: While saving up funds to get Aloy. here in NZ, I'm looking to channel my love for furbabies here and earn some extra income through dogsitting. I also wish to do this as part of honoring Kylo's life. It would be nice to help families take care of their furbabies while they are away of have some other tasks to attend to in a day. It would be a great pleasure for me.
NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in Hamilton East and have a good neighborhood and clean pathwalks for dog walks. It is accessible to nearby parks like Galloway Park, Steele Park, and all the way to Hayes Paddock and the river walk.
AVAILABILITY: I'm relatively free during the Summer break, and can be available late afternoons and evenings during the semester.

Hello! My name is Rochelle, and I am a passionate and dedicated pet sitter with a love for animals of all kinds. I believe every pet deserves care, attention, and affection while their owners are away. My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from my deep love of animals and my desire to help pet owners feel at ease when they need to travel or be away from home.
