"I saw great reviews about Sarah so I booked her for a 3 night dog sit and she was absolutely awesome! From coming to meet our dog beforehand to arriving earlier on the day so our dog remembered her when we left to receiving cool photos and videos of their awesome daily beach walks and knowing she knew how to handle her at sleep time. Thank you Sarah for being such a wonderful dog sitter, would highly recommend your services again :)"

"Hannah was a wonderful pet sitter. Originally we were very nervous about leaving our Labrador for a long period while we were overseas, however, our dog was very happy in Hannah’s company before and after the pet sit. Her communication was excellent throughout and we would happily use her again."

"Brandy was everything that we hoped for from a pet sitter. She stayed in constant communication and sent through pictures daily, that we found very reassuring. We have a Border Collie Cross and two cats. The Collie was very well exercised every day and the cats took to Brandy very well, even though one is extremely timid. The house was in good hands and immaculate when we came home. Thanks to Brandy, we were able to enjoy a much needed, long waited for, holiday without worrying about our pets or our home. I can't recommend Brandy enough, and we would love to have her pet sit again for us again in the future. Thanks Brandy, Dan and Gina"

"I can't say enough good things about Olivia! She was absolutely amazing with my nervous, quirky dog — someone who usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but clearly felt safe and cared for in Olivia's presence. From the start, she was kind, patient, and incredibly understanding of his unique personality. Olivia kept in touch with great communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and the sweetest photos that put my mind at ease. It was clear she was not only responsible but genuinely enjoyed spending time with my pets. She also took wonderful care of the house — everything was spotless when I returned, and it honestly felt like I’d never left. All my animals (not just the dog!) absolutely loved her, and it’s easy to see why. Olivia is thoughtful, reliable, and has such a natural connection with animals. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. I would have her back in a heartbeat!"

"Amy and her partner Harry, and Snoopy looked after my 14 month old Poppy like she was one of their own. The communication with from the start was very responsive and arrangements were easy. They shared photos of Poppy with me during her stay. Snoopy was more than happy to share his doggy toys with Poppy. I would highly recommend their home as a fun safe loving place for your pooch to be well taken care of. Thanks so much you guys. I'll definitely be reaching out to you next time I'm heading out of town."

"Frances took care of our dogs in our home while we were away for two nights. When we returned, the dogs had the highest praise of her. We were very pleased how everything went. It gave us leave of mind going away knowing our dogs and our home were going to be well looked after."

"Being very nervous leaving my cats with a sitter especially overnight for the first time Erin was very reassuring and kept me up to date daily which helped me relax whilst away. Meeting Erin before housesitting was great and she was as her profile describes. Communication was great and reliability means I would definitely book her again and will be doing. "

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 Makarau 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 Makarau.

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 Makarau 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Makarau on Pawshake. Over 592 pet owners in Makarau have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
