Hi I'm a proud owner of a Westie called Reggie. He is very social and loves sharing our home with other dogs.
Im a Registered Nurse who works with Wellington's most vulnerable women who love my dog. My life revolve around my commitment to community service, enriching the lives of the women I work with, my friends and family and of course Reggie my dog who has changed my life. 
Reggie and I love a very active and sociable life together which involves lovely bush walks, trips to the beach and visiting various friends who share my love of people, nature and all animals.
I also have a cat called Louis so am very familiar with all things feline. I would love to share my time with you pets and welcome them into my home or Reggie and I could pop over to your home for visits and walks. 
I enjoy getting to know fellow dog owners and lovers and getting a good idea about what their expectations are of a dog walker. I also make sure that I take special care to really be to know each dog that I walk, ensuring that their special needs and personalities are cherished. It's very important to me that all the dogs I spend time with feel safe in my company and they have a wonderful time. 
I hope to hear from you soon

I am a mental health support worker by profession. Currently working part-time due to a shoulder injury I sustained earlier this year. I, unfortunately, cannot return to work fulltime in the near future so decided to chase my next best dream - fur babies .&nbsp;I have a beautiful 8 month old female rottie and I trained her myself. She is my ride or die. So I am capable to look after yours. I grew up with dogs and cats and now having one of my own makes me proud but one is never enough haha, so I will be more than grateful to walk, play or sit your fur babies while you work or vacation. I will be your pet's second best friend . My dog (Akira) loves other dogs (big/small/puppies), kids and people. If you want play mates for your fur babies she will be happy to join. I enjoy long walks/hikes if you fur babies need to burn some energy. I also, always have treats on me if your babies are allowed to have some and are food motivated.&nbsp;I am free from 10.30am-5pm most days. I can administer medication and feed your pets. Walks will generally be an hour long but can be extended on owners request. I could walk your dogs around the blocks or take them to close by parks. I currently don't have a car so I cannot drive your pets around.&nbsp;

Kia ora, I am Helios and I'd love to take care of your pet/s! I understand how important your pets are. I am an animal lover and I will try my best to take good care of them when you are away.About me:I had a dog and cat growing up with me. I was responsible for taking care of, feeding and walking them. They are not just my best friends, but also part of my familiy. I moved to Wellingtion one year ago and started my postgraduate life here. I miss my dog and cat very much and to take care of your pet/s (dog or cat) would be a good way to relieve my missing for my pets. And that's the main reason I am here. trying to be helpful. I will be typically available early morning or evening. I am will follow your way to take care of your pet/s and won't let you down. I am happy to to come to your place for daily check ups, walks and feeding. I am living in Manners Street, Te Aro Wellington, I prefer to have house visit or dog walking around this area. For dog boarding: Since I stay in Wellington CBD, I can only accept small/medium size. (Plus these days I am looking for new houes, I cannot accept dog boarding)For dog walking: I can walk your dog in the areas around your places or the areas around my place. My place is near to the Wellington waterfront and we will mainly walk along the parks by the waterfront or along the costal lines.For house visits:&nbsp;30 minutes - 2 hours, I am also happy to do thing around the house, such as watering plants, cleaning places, bring in the mail, dropping rubbishes, even preparing dinner for you (special service, Aha). I am looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet/s&nbsp; and will enjoy taking good care of them. Feel free to talk to me.

I am a mature Mum to both furry and human children. I grew up around farm animals and then as an adult owned a farm, hence have always been around dogs, horses, cats, cows and fish :) (tropical marine fish in particular).&nbsp;
I trained our 3 boxers from puppies all at different stages and all of different personalities: 1 in the UK and 2 in NZ. Living on a farm in Nelson we also had 3 miniature horses and plenty of cows, chickens and fish.  I have a medical degree and have regularly participated in the medical care of all our animals, including hands on care. I now enjoy cuddles from my daughter's Cane Corsos and looking after other people's furry babies, as currently have no pets at home. I miss them and am always keen to help anyone out and get my cuddles in return. 
I have plenty of experience with dogs and with cats of all ages, having looked after both. I have cared for dogs from puppies to the elderly, hence I can take part in continuing training as well as starting basic training. I enjoy my daily walks around the Bays and that would only be made more enjoyable having a furry companion.&nbsp;
I am currently semi-retired and as such I am flexible during the day and also in the evenings. I am available for house sitting, both short and long term, if needed. I can also attend Vet visits if need be, as I have worked closely with Vets in the past.  
Overall, I am looking forward to being able to help you and your fur babies in whatever needs you may have and get some fur baby time in return!&nbsp;


My names Jessie, I am 23 years old and I love to go on hikes and walks and immerse myself in nature. I would love to take your dog/s with me! I am an enthusiastic and easy-going person with a strong passion for animals. I have grown up with animals, cats and dogs, and ever since I was young I have always shown a strong liking to caring for and looking after my own pets and others pets. I would love to take care of your own fur friend! 

My dog Keeto (Swedish Vallhund) has a bubbly personality, loves to play, cuddle and go for walks. Although, he can be hyperactive at times, especially in public settings and gets separation anxiety. I understand how to support these needs, keeping him calm and relaxed when he is feeling tense. I am experienced with dealing with the swing of these doggy emotions. 

What I offer:
I am currently working, so I am only available on the weekends at the moment. If needed I can assist with dog walking after 5.30pm on the week days- as it is light outside now! 
I am available for dog, cat, birds or any other animal sitting. I am available to stay as long as needed to look after your pets, night or day. I can help with other house sitting needs too. I am only available to pet-sit at your home as I live in a rental. I can assure I will be respectful, safe and tidy while looking after your pets! 
I am available for dog walking too, I have a car so I am able to drive to beaches or parks for your dog to have a run around! I will take them for an hour to ensure they are well walked. 

I am a friendly and honest person who is willing to help care for and look after your pets. Please message me if you would like to know more :)

Kia Ora,

My name is Daisy and I am a big animal lover! I am based in Wadestown so this area of town works best as I only sometimes have access to a car.

I have been pet-sitting for over 6 years - on Pawshake, and other sites. I have recently returned back from a stint in the UK, and my NZ Pawshake profile was unfortunately de-activated, however i have screenshotted some of my reviews on other sites which you can see in the photo gallery.
I have experience pet-sitting of all types - both for long-stay sits and drop-ins! I dog-walked regularly all throughout uni and absolutely love getting out in the NZ nature.&nbsp;

A little bit about me -&nbsp;

I have had dogs ever since I was 4 years old and even used to host big birthday parties for them! I love them in all shapes and sizes and feel very comfortable with larger breeds.&nbsp;

I am currently working remotely but am very flexible with your schedule. I am happy to provide both home visits, house sits, dog walks. For dog walks, I am very active and can take your pet for a walk of up to 2.5 hours, depending on how long you want! I charge $40 for an hour long walk, and an extra $25 for each extra hour :) As I do not have a car, I will likely find a track near your home, as I prefer the off-road spaces. I am also comfortable to take the dog off-leash, but again, whatever works best for you!&nbsp;

My dogs growing up have all been huge, so I am comfortable with big dogs, however I do love them in all shapes and sizes. I have quite a bit experience with looking after dogs - I worked in the puppy run at the SPCA throughout high school and uni, in which I was usually responsible for 10-15 naughty little pups! I worked as a dog walker for six months in my final year of University. I also have done week-long dog-and-house sitting on several occasions, with dogs from a range of ages.

&nbsp;Overall, I am just mad about dogs and love to give them plenty of affection. If you need a dog walker or a dog sitter, feel free to message me and I am happy to answer any questions/set something up around your needs!&nbsp;

Thank you,

Daisy :)


Hi!
I'm Emma. I'm an Antarctic earth scientist and love all things outdoors, animals and the ocean. I had several pets growing up including chickens, cats and sheep and was often put in charge of looking after them. My partner Ethan, is a software engineer and is lucky enough to have grown up with several cats and dogs.&nbsp;
While we would love to get pets of our own, we unfortunately live in a rental that is not pet friendly, so we would love to look after your pets as if they were our own! Due to not having pets for a long time, there is plenty of extra love to go round!
Ethan and I have done various house/pet sitting gigs for colleagues and friends and loved it immensely. We love to get outside and walk with doggos and cuddle inside with cats. As quick learners we hope to adapt to your pets specific needs and provide a wonderful pet sitting experience for everyone involved.
While Emma works in a lab and has to keep regular hours, Ethan has an office job where he can easily work from home if there are pets that require care throughout the day. We can offer both long and short term pet sitting - and would love to hear from you!

Kia Ora! 
Ko Ash au.&nbsp;
I'm a uni student who loves animals. I have a cat of my own (he's almost a year old) and I live with another cat of my flatmates.
I grew up with many pets in my home from big dogs to small bunnies! I would love to take care of your pet. I love pet sitting because I can help others, provide some love to pets and have that connection with animals back! It also encourages me to get out and about walking with your pets!
I have experience with a large variety of pets, but mainly cats, dogs and bunnies. I have taken care of older pets down to babies and have babysat/been responsible for taking care of many loved family members throughout the years.
Happy to keep you updated and send pictures as well!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your pet!


Kia ora! I have a variety of fun-loving experiences with cats, dogs, birds, and fish from previous pet-owning experiences.&nbsp;
I have a love for animals and spending time outdoors! Making sure I bring my old border collie (and sometimes my adventurous cat too!) on all my adventures, whether that be on ski roadtrips around the South Island, or around the block in the neighbourhood to soak up the sunshine.&nbsp;
I have previously been a volunteer at the local vet, taking care of cats and dogs alike. I had hands-on dog tasks like feeding 30+ dogs come breakfast or dinnertime, taking them for walks up to five at a time, and plenty of washing of dog beds and other associated pet laundry. I made sure all the wonderful cats staying in the cattery got lots of love and affection to create a calm and peaceful space for them to relax and enjoy their stay.


I'm an experienced pet sitter born and bred in the capital city! I have as much energy as a golden retriever, love getting outdoors, and work in the environmental industry. Currently interviewing for  new roles in the city, so can be freely available to keep your pets company during the day!&nbsp;
I worked for four summers with the Dog Protection Society (DPS) in Auckland, training and looking after abandoned and abused dogs, and the short-term kennel stays. I have a degree in zoology, and have had a passion for animals ever since I was little and pleaded for a furry companion from my parents!
I have vast experience dog sitting my friend's German Shepard and Golden Retriever, but have experience with breeds big and small during my work in the kennels. I had a cat growing up, and also looked after my friends bunnies, and of course the classic fish in the office.&nbsp;
Looking to do some pet sitting as I find a permanent role and flat in the city, and furry emotional support is always appreciated during these times!&nbsp;
Available only for sitting in your home, and dog walks and drop ins available too.&nbsp;
