"We are first time pet owners and were unsure how it would go with having a pet sitter come to the house to look after our wee rabbit Monty. Charlotte was an absolute gem, and we immediately felt at ease with leaving Monty in her care. Monty had been unwell the week prior to our planned holiday so we were concerned leaving him when he was only just back on the road to recovery. Charlotte did a great job of administering his medication and was very competent in this regard, and she kept us regularly updated when visiting the house which reassured us that Monty was in safe hands. We will definitely engage Charlotte again as a sitter for Monty - she was friendly, polite and had great warmth when talking about animals in general and more specifically a lovely nature when dealing with Monty. Charlotte followed all our guidelines for Monty's care and I think his area was cleaner when we arrived home than when we left! We would highly recommend Charlotte as a pawshake sitter, she did a great job and we were very lucky to have found her through the pawshake website."

"It was quickly apparent that Shiara truly cared about the needs and experiences of my cats. She went the extra mile for their happiness and comfort and seems to be very observant, picking up on a few details I hadn't even mentioned to her. She was also great at taking very cute pics of the cats :D I was very grateful that I knew I could completely relax during my time away - previously I would put my cats in a cattery, which not only tended to not give medication despite what they advertise but which seemed to result in the cats looking withdrawn and unwell upon picking them up. Shiara was dedicated to making sure they had their medication, and when I arrived home they were so relaxed and well in themselves. I leave this review to represent the truth though I suppose it will only put Shiara in higher demand as a pet sitter! :D"

"This is a return booking with Mary and as before she was so good to our two cats. She also kept us well up to date on her visits with photos of playtime in session. They love her and came right to her, even the usually shy one who takes a minute to get to know people. We will get Mary to take care of our two cats any time she's available, 5 star service all around! "

"Larissa has been a wonderful pet sitter for my cat Max, she went above and beyond while looking after him, spending plenty of time playing with him, ensuring Max felt comfortable and happy. It was so nice being away knowing Max was being taken care of so well. Thank you for everything Larissa you really are the best pet sitter I could have asked for and for anyone considering a pet sitter Larissa is the perfect choice. "

"Absolutely wonderful experience having Kelly look after our cat and we will absolutely go with her again next time we need a cat sitter! Our cat, Dayz, adored her and she did an amazing job of caring for her over the 21 days we were out of the country. Kelly sat with Dayz and took the time to bond with her which was fantastic as Dayz was very anxious around previous cat sitters who just came in to feed then leave again. I highly recommend if anyone has the opportunity to have Kelly look after their pets, go for it! You won’t regret it :)"

"Christina is the first pet sitter we used on Pawshake, and she’s really amazing! We could really tell that she genuinely loves and cares about our cats. Morning (our cat) was a bit shy at first but eventually became very comfortable and even needy around her 😂 Communication was absolutely perfect - she sent report cards, messages, photos, and videos after every visit, which was a big relief to us while we were away. She also carefully monitored Morning’s pee clumps for any unusual color, as he has kidney issues. We truly appreciated everything she did for us and for the cats, and will definitely reach out again for our next trip!"

"The most amazing pet sitters! I honestly can’t recommend Xiangyi and Yiming highly enough. I’ve used them so many times to look after Tabitha, and I trust them completely. They are kind, caring, reliable and genuinely treat your pets as though they were their own. They recently went above and beyond when, late on a Friday, Tabitha needed to be taken to the vet. They didn’t hesitate for a second — they took her along, stayed with her and made sure she was looked after when I couldn’t be there. They even refused to accept anything for their time, which says so much about the sort of people they are. Knowing that Tabitha is safe, happy and so well cared for whenever she is with them gives me enormous peace of mind. That level of trust is priceless. They are absolutely wonderful pet sitters and genuinely lovely people. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their beloved pets. ❤️"

Why pet sitting ?

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Christchurch that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Christchurch to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Christchurch. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Christchurch. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Christchurch.

Pet owners book pet sitting in Christchurch on Pawshake. Over 2658 pet owners in Christchurch have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
