Responsible, and passionate about animals — get in touch to chat about your dog’s needs!

We are a family of dog lovers, myself and my two sons 9 and 12 and live in Raumati South. Our dog (Finlay) is a small Cavoodle mix and he would love some more canine company - he is full of energy and loves to play and chase.&nbsp;
I work from home during the week so can care for dogs whose owners are out at work and Finlay would love to host a furry friend and make them feel at home.
Our property has plenty of space for exploring outside and is fully fenced and also good for doggos who would rather chill and cuddle up on the couch and stay close to the humans (like our boy). We live close to the beach and get out for daily walks.
I grew up with dogs and we often look after family members dogs when they go away on holiday. I am reliable and trustworthy and will spoil your dog with love and attention and happily cater to their specific needs.


Hi, I’m Jo. I have done house and pet sitting for various people, including friends and local families. I love animals and always treat them like part of the family while their owners are away.
I have my own pets — cats, dogs, and rabbits — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them properly. I’m experienced with different types of pets and make sure they stick to their usual routines — meals, walks, and plenty of attention. I always send photos and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.
I’m offering&nbsp;house/pet sitting and dog walking, but I don’t take pets into my own home. I’m based on the Kāpiti Coast and can travel around the area.
All pets do need to be vaccinated and socialised for everyone’s safety.
If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and easy to communicate with, I’d love to help look after your pets as if they were my own.

My 18 year old daughter, Sophie, is really keen to take dogs for walks and or house sit after school and on the weekend. I am no longer able to care for pets during the day as I have gone back to work but Sophie is available to take your dog for walks or do home visits to feed, cuddle and check on your pets and plants. Sophie also now has her own car and her license so Is able to go herself and take care of pets when needed. 
Sophie loves all breeds and sizes of dogs. She loves taking them for walks on the beach which is only a 5 minute walk from our house but can also take them for walks anywhere else they are used to.&nbsp;
I'm happy to come and meet you with Sophie and have a chat so you can see if Sophie would get on well with your animals and be a good fit for your needs.
Sophie is responsible, caring and loves all animals. She volunteers at Nga Manu as well.



Hi, I’m Serena. I’m a mum of two teenagers (13 and 15) and married to my husband, Jason. We’re a dog-loving family and recently lost our much-loved Wheaten Terrier, so we’re very familiar with having dogs as part of everyday life and routines.
We live in a large, fully fenced home in Raumati South, close to parks, bush walks and the beach. There’s plenty of space both indoors and out, and lots of good walking options nearby. Around the house there are comfortable spots where dogs can relax, nap and settle in, whether they prefer a quiet corner or a sunny patch.
I work locally in the mornings and usually finish around midday, which means I’m home most afternoons for long walk at the beach, street or QEII Park. We’re also home most weekends. Dogs are well cared for here in a calm, family environment with regular exercise, downtime and attention.
As we recently lost our dog, your dog would have our full attention and access to our garden and home.
We look forward to welcoming your pet. 

Hi! I’m a 22 year old support worker with a lifelong love of animals, especially dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My family currently has two dogs of our own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, attention, exercise, and affection that dogs need to stay happy and healthy.

Working as a support worker has helped me develop patience, responsibility, reliability, and strong communication skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, playing games, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs.

My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from my genuine passion for animals and the joy I get from spending time with them. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know them and helping them feel secure and cared for.

For the health and safety of all animals, I prefer to care for vaccinated pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! :)

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;


We're a pet loving family of 5 including our beautiful Malshi- Wikkee who pet sits with us (where appropriate). She has been regularly nicknamed a therapy dog for her calm, gentle, loving nature towards animals of all kinds and sizes.
We have experience in pet sitting and dog walking, as well as some positive reinforcement K9 training techniques that I invested in when we brought our girl into our family, that are tried and true to this day.&nbsp;
Our children absolutely adore animals of every kind great and small and we have found this is an amazing way that they get to experience other fur babies and staycations while being able to help you out and give you peace of mind that your babies are being well looked after in your absence. We have experience with cats, dogs (small-large), fish, and reptiles, but we love all animals and with the right care instructions, we are happy to care for your pets regardless of what form they may take ️
We like to provide regular updates when house sitting, including photos and videos of your pets adventures and antics (depending on what we discuss in terms of walks, drives, etc) because we know how much we miss our girl when we can't be with her and imagine you feel the same.
While you're away your pets will be treated like our own. Whatever they're allowed to do with you, we will mimic so that they feel everything is as normal as possible.&nbsp;
Please don't hesitate to send us a message and we would love to help however we can ️


Kia ora, I'm Tarsha, mother and Nanty, living on the Kāpiti Coast and occasionally in Wellington city. I enjoy time with whānau, drinking tea with friends, swims in the moana or awa, and am passionate about contributing to inclusive and resilient communities. When I reflect on whānau life it is impossible to imagine it without pets, which at the moment includes our ngeru (cat) Kewpee and our kuri (dog) Max. The uploaded gallery reflects our whānau love for animals over the years, with many photos also of my daughter, and dad (recently passed - love and miss you dad). Even though dad had alzheimers dementia his happy place was daily walking our kuri to the beach. All the animals brought him great delight, and he them. My personal gallery is full of our family of dogs, dad, cats, and kids. Although, I tend to be the one taking the photos of the whānau, including the animals, rather than trying to stage selfies of myself with any of them. Hopefully there's enough for you to get the idea. You'll also see photos in the gallery of our darling spoodle who also passed almost 2 years ago. She had been with us for over a decade after we rehomed her when she was two. We miss our loyal girl very much. So, if it's lots of evidence of your pets enjoying life while you're away, I can defo oblige. I typically work from home and will soon be going part-time, as I am keen to explore future options. Having heard positive things about Pawshake from a friend and family members, I decided to give it a proper go as I know petsetting is something I enjoy and am good at. In the past I, and my whānau, have cared for friends and family dogs both in my own home and in theirs. As well as a friends horse for several months, when my daughter also had her own horse. Recently I have started letting our old boy Max stay home, rather than taking him in to the city with me, as home is far more comfortable, stressfree, and kinder for him now he's ageing and challenged by stairs, his hearing and eyesight. That is also why I offer pet sitting in owners homes. Although accommodating dogs in my home is something I will consider for the future, especially as I am typically at home with my own animal family. For now though, I am offering pet/housesits between Ōtaki and Wellington/Hutt Valley, and more local pet visits and dog walking. If you're looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, I look forward to meeting you and your animal family.&nbsp;
