"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."

"Rosemary looked after the house and dogs perfectly. She is a great communicator. It was the first time using a pet sitter overnight, although I was worried beforehand I needn’t have, it was a great experience. Will definitely use again. "

"Vanessa was exceptional from start to finish.
She looked after our cat Mōhio with real attention and warmth, kept our indoor plants thriving, and left our apartment immaculate.
Communication was thoughtful and consistent, with photos and updates that gave us real peace of mind while away. She even checked in about how our holiday was going, which was such a lovely touch.
We returned to a happy, content cat and a home that felt genuinely cared for. Highly recommend and we would absolutely use Vanessa again."

"Grace was an excellent house sitter. She took great care of our home and went above and beyond looking after our pets, who were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of when we returned. Communication was great, the house was left spotless, and we felt at ease knowing everything was in such capable hands. We would absolutely recommend Grace and would happily have her house sit for us again."

They treated the house with respect, and all our plants were carefully attended to. Lastly, to top it off, we came back home to a clean and tidy house. Thank you!"

"Selina is an absolutely amazing petsitter! She will be the only person I contact from here on out when we need someone to look after our zoo.
The boys were so happy and so well looked after and our cat who doesn’t warm to strangers loved her from day one and didn’t leave her side which is honestly unheard of. Our dogs even seemed sad last night after the initial excitement wore off cause she had left.
House was immaculate, communication was outstanding, our zoo isn’t the easiest or most well behaved and she did such an amazing job I can’t stop raving about her enough, we only got back yesterday and have already sent her profile to anyone I know with pets for if they need a sitter in the future.
Absolutely recommend and we cannot wait to have her back again!"

Alice stayed in contact with us and kept us updated on both our animals. 10/10 would recommend and will book again. "

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.
