"Corey did a wonderful job of looking after our boy Jazz as we were away out my brother's 80th birthday party in ChCh... sadly after returning from the Vets on Thursday afternoon, he slipped back into heart defibrillation and Corey took him into the after hours vet where he went downhill fast ...Corey kept us totally in the loop via WhatsApp but just as we were agreeing to ending it all, Corey talked to him and he sparked up and wondered off around the clinic as though nothing was happening ... so Corey said she would take him home and looked after him till our vets at Halifax Clinic got in at 8 am on Friday morning .... she stayed awake all night with a restless Jazz , watched 3 James Bond films on Netflix. Above and beyond ... She took Jazz in and left him in great care with our vets Friday morning keeping us well informed .. sadly Jazz passed away on Saturday morning with congestive heart failure... our hearts were broken and so was Corey's ... She stayed on in the house till Monday and fed the Tui's , Wax Eyes and Bellbirds and when we made it back from Christchurch on Tuesday, we picked up Jazz from the vets they complemented her on her care and attention that she gave our boy. We brought him home one final time to find a loverly little memorial in the kitchen from Corey to celebrate her time with him ... she took the pictures on Wednesday before he fell ill and had them printed and framed plus flowers and a lovely poem ... made a hard time so much easier... above and beyond .... You could not ask for a more caring pet sitter to come and look after your fur baby in your home... thank you Corey .... friend for life ! And Petshake were also amazing in our hour of grief ... a great service .... Thanks Tim and Janet, Nelson"

"Aleyna was so lovely, great communication before and during her stay with our pets. We got cute updates and photos , and our house was left spotless at the end. She was happy to meet with us about our needs (our dog is a bit reactive) to discuss how we are working through that. We definitely recommend her services, our cat and dog were both well looked after :) "

"Keayla was friendly and great to communicate with. She sent us lots of lovely pictures of the dogs while we were away. She played with the dogs, walked them and generally just gave them lots of love and attention. I hope Keayla is available next time we need a dog sitter :)"

"Eva and her partner Hankyul looked after our dog Buddy for 12 nights while we were away in Sydney. We hadn’t used pet sitters before but all went smoothly with daily updates and really good communication which was much appreciated. We came come to a happy dog and a very clean and tidy home. Would definitely recommend Eva and Hankyul - a great option :)"

"Maddie house sat and looked after Roki while we were away for 10 nights. When we returned Roki was a very happy dog and our house was immaculate. She cared for Roki and looked after our house if they were her own. We will definitely hire Maddie again in the future. Thanks again 😊"

"This was a first time use of the service for us, and it couldn't have been easier or better. We arranged for a meetup with Abby before the booking to meet the animals, and go over things with the house. The animals loved her, so we made the booking. It went very well, animals were happy, and house was looked after. We would definitely recommend Abby, and will be making future bookings."

"We were so lucky to find Laura to look after Yuri and Peppa who are two rather challenging indoor cats with multiple health concerns and relationship problems, so require to be separated and medicated multiple times per day. Laura is a true cat whisperer, and we genuinely think that with her veterinary nursing skills she was able to manage them even better than we could. Especially Yuri, who usually hides from new people, but was documented to enjoy interactive play time, ate all his food, and even voluntarily came out to hang out with Laura. We came back to two happy cats and a spotless house. Laura sent frequent updates, and we had the most relaxing time away. We haven't been venturing out much since Yuri got sick about a year ago, but are now looking to book more holidays :) We'd love to keep Laura as our best kept secret and, at the same time, could not recommend her more!!"

"We loved having Jane come and stay to look after Louie, Tessa and Indy. She kind of got a handful - one cat had just had an abscess removed and needed two trips to the vet during our absence to get stitches etc out, plus needed medication. The other cat would only turn up sporadically for his meals and our dog was on slightly limited exercise from surgery two months prior. She kept in touch with us while we were away to give us updates and made sure she was completely clear on instructions. We came home to a relaxed household and happy pets. We'll definitely ask Jane to come and stay again when we go away next time."

"Emily came and looked after our dog and house very last minute as unfortunately our dog got injured and was unable to go to the kennel. She had great communication while we were away and loved the photo updates. Our house was very clean and tidy when we arrived home and our dog didn't show any signs of stress - which she usually does after a kennel stay. We wouldn't hesitate to use Emily again. Thanks so much for looking after our Flossy!! "

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 Nelson 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 Nelson.

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 Nelson 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 Nelson on Pawshake. Over 139 pet owners in Nelson have left a review, with an average of 4.93/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
