"Crystal is absolutely fantastic! She has great communication, is incredibly thoughtful, and was so wonderful with my dog. Before we even finalised the booking, she arranged to meet him to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which I really appreciated.
Crystal took care of his breakfast and dinner, midday walks, play and enrichment, and bedtime visits while I was away. She kept me updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took the time to understand his individual needs, followed his usual routine and training, and handled his excitement and jumping up with patience, reassurance, and encouragement to be calm and help him settle.
One thing that really impressed me was that Crystal managed to take him for a walk! He normally only walks with me, so this was a huge testament to how comfortable and safe she made him feel. When I returned, he was happy, relaxed, and settled, with none of the anxiety or overexcitement that he might have shown if he hadn't had such an awesome time. It was clear he'd had a great time and felt completely safe in Crystal's care.
Crystal also works with the SPCA, so she brings great experience and knowledge, but what really stands out is how genuinely caring and dedicated she is to animals. It's clear she puts real thought, time, and effort into making sure the animals in her care are happy, comfortable, and well looked after.
I felt completely reassured leaving my dog in Crystal's hands, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation. 1000000% recommend!!! 🐾❤️"

"
We couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter than Anika. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we were away.
She took wonderful care of both of our dogs, and we were especially grateful for the extra attention she gave Joey, who had a cut paw. She made sure he was comfortable and kept us informed every step of the way.
We returned to two very happy dogs and a beautifully cared-for home. It's obvious that Anika genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and would happily have her look after our dogs and home again. Thank you, Anika, for doing such an amazing job!"

"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."

"Mikayla looked after my two very shy cats, Coco and Fox, and I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very beginning she was so kind, patient, and caring, and she quickly earned the trust of two cats who are usually very wary of new people.
Fox also requires epilepsy medication twice a day, and Mikayla handled this with complete confidence and care, which gave me enormous peace of mind while I was away.
She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, so I always knew my cats were happy, safe, and well looked after. It was obvious that she genuinely cared for them, and they were relaxed and content when I got home.
I think Mikayla is absolutely amazing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Coco and Fox🐾"

"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."

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!"

"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 Kaiapoi 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 Kaiapoi.
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 Kaiapoi 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.
