"Crystal looked after our high needs dog for three nights at short notice and she was amazing. She gave him his medication and spent lots of time with him which was great. Crystal is a kind person who loves animals and we felt reassured leaving our dog in her capable hands. The house was tidy and her communication was great. Highly recommend and would book her again. "

Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Pets Like Family 🐾8.6 km

"We have a new pet sitter for Life! Scarlett went over and above with our three dogs and we couldn't have been happier. Three different personalities and needs and Scarlett aced it. She stayed in constant communication with updates and pictures. Brock turned 2 while we were gone and she quickly went and got him a bow and a gave him a dog meat cake with a candle. Talk about going the extra mile. 🎉🎂
We came home to a clean, tidy home that was freshly vacuumed and a special gift from her to us. Look no further if you have concerns about who will take care of your babies, Scarlett is a true professional and very good at what she does. I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Thanks Scarlett for treating our home and pets like your own. "

"Sophie did an excellent job of looking after our two dogs and house. One of our dogs needs meds twice a day for epilepsy and she managed all of this well, including taking the dog to the vet when needed. Over the time we were away she kept us updated via text updates, photos and video of the dogs. Highly recommend. "

"Alice was fantastic. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and her communication was prompt and she was very patient with me and all the details I wanted to leave for my dogs care. She was flexible and relaxed being in my home and amazing with my dog who is a 37 kg Hunttarway/Rottweiler cross. He is well trained but still big and physical and she was very comfortable with him. She sent me photos and updates while I was away. Alice was also tidy and clean! I would highly recommend Alice as a dog sitter. Five stars! "

"We were so impressed with the care our dog and cat received from Viktoria & Ivan. They were both relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑loved while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us real peace of mind. We also came home to an incredibly tidy house, which was such a lovely bonus after travelling. We’d absolutely book again and highly recommend, five stars and six from the pets!"

"We had an excellent experience with Callum and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was very polite, respectful, and incredibly thorough, and from the moment we met him we felt completely at ease leaving our home, dog, and cat in his care while we were away.
Our pets were very well looked after, the house was kept in great condition, and his attention to detail really stood out. A lovely and unexpected touch was arriving home to a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk in the fridge, which was so thoughtful and much appreciated after travelling.
We would absolutely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter."

"Emm was amazing. Our cat is truly part of our family, and for the first time in a long while we had to leave him with someone else. Emm has a very calm, caring nature, is responsible and trustworthy, which gave us great peace of mind.
Our cat is quite shy, but he warmed up to Emm within a couple of hours, and she looked after him beautifully. She stayed in touch the whole time and regularly sent us photos and videos, which we really appreciated.
We will definitely ask Emm to look after our cat again and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter."

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Christchurch home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Christchurch.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Christchurch home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
