Top cities for house sitting in New Zealand

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 Karaka 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 Karaka.

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 Karaka 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.

Hi, I’m a friendly and reliable pet sitter and dog walker who truly loves animals. I’ve had my two dogs for the past 10 years, so I understand the daily care, patience, and attention pets need. Being a long-time dog owner has taught me how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies.

I’ve also done both cat and dog sitting for friends and families, caring for pets in their own homes so they feel comfortable and stress-free. On top of that, I volunteer at the SPCA every week, where I help care for animals of all sizes and personalities. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and it’s helped me become confident handling different temperaments.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own. I know pets are family, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.


Hi, I’m Kim! As a dedicated animal lover and proud owner of two cats and two dogs, I know how much your pets mean to you. My furry family includes a 3 yr old Border Collie, 2 year-old Golden Retriever and two cats (5&amp;2). I understand animals different personalities and needs.
I have worked through fear-based reactivity with my Collie, I bring patience, understanding in training and managing reactive behavior. Whether your pet needs extra attention or just someone to keep them company, I can cater to what you need.
I’m available for walks, play sessions, keeping your animal company, feeding and can look after your pets in your home. I work full-time, however, I work from home two days a week and can schedule visits before or after work—or during lunch if you’re nearby.
A bit about me - I work in Major Events, married, home owner in Flat Bush, love adventures, walks, nature and the outdoors, of course love my fur babies and spending time with my Family &amp; Friends.&nbsp;
I’d be happy to meet with you and your pets first to make sure everyone is comfortable. Let me know how I can help make life a little easier for you and your furry friends!

&nbsp;I’ve always had a deep love for animals,and that passion is at the heart of why I choose to be a pet sitter. Pets bringso much joy, comfort, and companionship into our lives, and caring for themfeels incredibly rewarding to me. My motivation comes from wanting to create asafe, loving environment for pets while giving their owners complete peace ofmind when they’re away.&nbsp;
With just under five years of formal pet sittingexperience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets—fromenergetic dogs and affectionate cats to gentle seniors and pets with specialneeds. Each animal has their own personality, routines, and quirks, and Igenuinely enjoy getting to know them and tailoring my care to what makes themfeel most secure and happy. Whether it’s daily exercise, administeringmedication, keeping to familiar routines, or simply offering companionship andaffection, I’m committed to making every pet feel comfortable and cared for.&nbsp;
Because the wellbeing of all animals in myhome is so important to me, I do prefer that pets staying with me are up todate with their vaccinations. This helps ensure a healthy and safe environmentfor everyone.&nbsp;
Above all, my goal is to provide attentive,loving care that reflects my genuine affection for animals, so you can enjoyyour time away knowing your pets are in reliable and caring hands.&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hi, I’m Aashna!  As a proud mum of 3 playful dogs and 1 cheeky rabbit, animals have always been the heart of my life. I understand that pets are more than companions – they’re family. That’s why I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them the love, comfort, and attention they deserve while you’re away.
Alongside pet sitting, I work full-time from 6am–2pm. This means I’m available for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and overnight. My schedule also allows me to give morning care before I leave for work, so your pets are never without attention for long.

Hello
My name is Auri. 
The reason I became a pet sitter is that it gives people reassurance to know that their pet is in good hands whilst they might be away. Giving people a hand to reach out to, to entrust their pets with makes me feel very honoured and I provide your pet with the best comfort and care. 
I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs young and old so I have the knowledge and ability to make sure they are getting what they need. I grew up with dogs and cats so have 10+ years of experience including 4 years I was apart of a cat foster programme in which I learnt bottle feeding and medication on a regular basis.
I am comfortable with pets of any walk of life whether they need medicine daily or have other specialised needs I want to give your pet the best. 
I am based in East auckland but have my own transport and will travel all around auckland to look after your fur babies.

Services I can offer
 Dog walking
 Once or Twice a day trips
 Pet sitting (At your establishment)

I am an animal lover through and through, with my own 4 year old staffy girl, Chicken. I work part time as a potter and am very lucky to bring my girl with me to work. I have my afternoons free to share my passion for dogs and entertain your spoiled pooches while Chicken gets a much needed rest at home. I'm predominantly interested in dog walking and drop in sessions, but can house sit for the right people (my dog will stay home with my partner). I am very active and love walking, and I have experience training dogs on the lead (my own and a few work colleagues). My own dog is slightly dog reactive while on the lead due to previous attacks by others so I also have experience managing less than perfect lead etiquette. If you like consistency from your dog walker, I'm available 6 days a week and am always striving to be as reliable as can be. 
Walk durations and drop in sessions ranges from 30 minutes to two hours depending on your preference (fees change). 
It would be ideal to do a small 15 minute introductory walk with you present so I can see how you and your dog work together and how I can keep that energy going. 
I will be using my own car so incase of emergency, transport to the vet is not a problem. I don't have a problem administering medication if that's what your dog requires. 
Please don't hesitate to reach out for a chat. 

Hi yah!
My name is Sam and I love all things pets! we currently have one small dog, Pepper, and live out in Takanini. I recently have had a change in career which allows me to spend more time at home than I have previously, so looking to spend some more time with furry friends!&nbsp;
I have been brought up with dogs and pets my entire life, so have experience looking after all range of dogs and pets!
Growing up I had experience with Rotties all the way down to pugs!&nbsp;
Our home is small, however we do regular walks and adventures with our pup and will do the same with yours! We like to go around walks in the neighbourhood, in the Hunua Ranges and at the beach! Your pup will need to be fully vaccinated and house trained to stay with us!&nbsp;
Please reach out with a message if you have any further questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!&nbsp;

Hi there! I’m Queenie — a caring and dependable pet lover based in Wattle Downs Auckland . I’ve been helping friends and families with pet and house sitting for several years, and I absolutely love the joy (and cuddles!) that come with spending time with animals.

My service includes:
- House sitting (overnight if required): cleaning, laundry, plant care, ironing
- Pet sitting: visiting, walking (a good 30' or more if required), feeding, showering, playing

I treat every furry friend like a true friend — making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved at their own home while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I take pride in creating a calm and comfortable environment for them. ‍

I have rich experience with small to medium dogs, cats (elderly cats on medication!), chickens and bunnies. I’ve got some wonderful references from happy pet and house owners who appreciate my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care. You can read them in my profile.

Pet sitting isn’t just a side hustle for me — it’s something I truly enjoy. So if you’re looking for someone who’ll care for your pets and your home as if they were their own, I’d love to help! 


I’ve had a deep love for animals since childhood, and that passion has only grown stronger over the years. Having always had pets of my own, I understand how much they mean to a family and how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them.
My experience includes caring for pets belonging to family and friends, as well as working in a kennels and cattery for 1.5 years. I’ve also completed a Certificate in Animal Care through the Waikato Institute of Technology, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, fish, terrapins, and more.
I am confident working with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am happy to walk multiple dogs or care for more than one pet in the home. Whether your dog has a regular walking schedule or specific training cues, I’m happy to follow your routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I also offer light training reinforcement and grooming upon request.
Providing pets with love, structure, and safety is my top priority. Whether you're looking for a reliable dog walker, someone to house-sit with your pets, or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to help with care you can count on.
