"Rachel is awesome. I couldn't recommend her enough. Being new to Christchurch I needed to find a new dog sitter and found Rachel. Everything went smooth while I was away and will defiantly use her again. Thanks Rachel."

"Once again, Dallas did a fantastic job caring for our two labradoodles. They greeted her with great excitement and quickly relaxed and settled in her company. She also took wonderful care of our home and kindly left us homemade muffins to enjoy on our return. Dallas kept us updated with photos and videos of the dogs throughout, which we really appreciated. It’s so reassuring to have a pet sitter we can trust, and one our dogs clearly adore. Thank you again, Dallas x"

"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."

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!"

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.
