For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Wellington for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Wellington Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Wellington sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

Hello, I'm Sorcha (So - Rick - a) I've loved animals my whole life and I also know how to act when first meeting them. I'm punctual and tidy. I am a book lover so I am happy to sit in the park as long as your pet wants. I'm also happy to stay home with your pet, I'll keep them company and keep them out of trouble haha. I'm detail orientated and you can trust I'll follow your pets dinner instructions to a T. I am responsible and am very interested in pursuing a career in dog sitting/canine care. I have some experience in dog grooming. 
As to why I can't take pets into my own home, I am a renter living in a Newtown flat that does not allow pets - otherwise I'd be more than happy. I also do not drive, but my legs are more than able and the bus stop is at the end of the road. 
Mainly I am comfortable around dogs, all breeds and all sizes. 

Thank you for your consideration :)

Hi! Aimee and George here, we are a couple in our thirties who live at our fully fenced home in Lyall Bay with a big back and front yard. We adopted a retired five year old greyhound in 2023, Peggy, who has been an awesome addition to the household. She's very easy going, loves her daily walks, people and other dogs almost as much as she loves a good snooze. 
George works full time remotely from home, and Aimee is currently on maternity leave with our 6 month old daughter Josie. It is very rare that one of us is not home, and we'd always ensure there is a plan in place to make sure at least one of us is around to look after your dog. We are very responsible, friendly and willing to take your lead on how you'd like your pet to be cared for. We understand it's a big deal leaving it in someone else's care and we take it seriously. 
We predominantly are looking to look after greyhounds, Italian greyhounds and whippets, however feel free to enquire regardless of the breed. We offer dog sitting at our home, including walking, however we are fairly flexible about our services, so reach out if you would like to chat!

Hi,
I am an animal lover who is looking for more opportunities to be around furry friends. I am an SPCA adult dog volunteer and has been taking care of SPCA dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperament for almost 10 years now. I enjoy being with dogs, and love being with them. I have experience in handling nervous and anxious dogs and can promise you that your furry family is comfortable with me. Currently, I have some spare time that I would love to use it to be with dogs. I can ensure you, your pet will be well taken cared for and loved.&nbsp;
I have experience in administering medicines and can even provide some basic training if that's what your pet need. I live in a very safe neighborhood and there are many areas around to take your pets for walks and will happily provide them(and me) much needed exercises based on your dogs needs.
If you are looking for dog boarding, please note that I have a 5 year old son at home. It would be better for all, if your pet is okay around kids for long term boarding.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Added info: I have level 2 and level 3 animal care certificate by primary ITO.&nbsp;



About Me

I’m all about being responsible, caring, and dependable when it comes to your furry family member. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and maybe even a little bit spoiled while they’re with me.

I live in a spacious apartment with big windows, perfect for soaking up some sunlight. I’m located in Mount Victoria (11C Hawker Street), just two blocks away from Mount Victoria Reserve, which is ideal for daily walks, fresh air, and lots of sniffing adventures!


Dog Boarding

I welcome small to medium-sized dogs and kindly ask that your dog is house-trained. Living so close to Mount Victoria Reserve and not far from Oriental Bay means your dog will enjoy great walks, nature, and a change of scenery every day.


Doggy Day Care

I offer doggy day care for up to 8 hours per day, usually finishing no later than 5 pm so I can plan my day. Your pet will enjoy lots of play, mental stimulation, a relaxing midday walk, and some quiet time if needed. I’m flexible with hours depending on your schedule and available on weekdays and some weekends upon request.


A Little More About Me

I’m a 41-year-old engineer and dancer with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and that love has only grown over the years. My experience comes from owning pets and caring for the dogs of friends and family. Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I’m often asked to pet-sit and genuinely enjoy every opportunity.


Additional Information

To make sure everything goes smoothly, it’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, meal preferences, any medications, vet contacts, and emergency details. I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment — with a little bit of Spanish flair 


Final Note

Thank you for trusting me with your “kid”. I know how important they are, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own — with patience, attention, and lots of love. I truly look forward to meeting both you and your furry family member. ️

Hi! My name is Rebecca. Growing up we had an adorable zoo featuring Jay our foxy dog, Polly the cavoodle, 2 cats with attitude, birds, Guinea pigs and gold fish. 
Missing having my own pets now I'm in Welly and love taking care of your furry 4-legged friends instead! 
Comfortable walking with large and small dogs. 
Cat feeding for all big and small furry buddies 
My recent walking buddy was a gorgeous older golden lab Molly. We would adventure three times a week around Wadestown. (Unfortunately she developed cancer..)
My most recent house sit was 2 Ponies, 2 dogs, cat, 5 sheep and 3 chickens in Upper Hutt for 2 weeks. 
Able to walk and / feed daily through to once a week and as needed. Cats and dogs. 
Am a permanently employed professional in the public service with reliable transport. 
Located central/ Thorndon/wadestown area but am able to drive as needed. Daily walks would prefer closer to this location but weekends and short stints any Wellington location is great. 
Can provide referees from past walking/feeding/pet sitting. 


  RELOCATED TO WELLINGTON  
My name is Vanessa and I have 7 years experience working with dogs. I have worked with all dog breeds, and no dog is too big or small! I have worked in kennels, daycares and I also walk dogs. I have experience in training and a good understanding of canine behaviour.
I own a furry companion named Sadie as you may have guessed from my photos she is the love of my life  Sadie was a rehome and from the moment we met I knew she was special. We have worked on a lot of training together and she is a social butterfly &nbsp;
I understand that finding the right sitter can be stressful at times, after all you are trusting someone in your home and with your fur baby. Rest assured I will do everything in my power to make you and your pet feel at ease.
Aside from dogs I have also grown up with rabbits and cats so I am also happy to care for them as well  &nbsp;
if you would like your dog walked we can go on an adventure together out in nature (LOTS of photos included)  ️&nbsp;
**Please note that before I accept a booking I will need to meet you and your pet/pets in person**
