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 Ohaupo 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 Ohaupo.

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 Ohaupo 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 Zichi and I am THE animal lover! 
I have been living in Hamilton since I was 12. I grew up with pets all my life. I had fishes, rabbits, tortoises as pets growing up. I have a pet dog in my hometown. Unfortunately, when I moved to New Zealand, I had to leave her behind with my family. I miss her a lot. 
I work an office job where we have an office dog  (He definitely brightens our day at the office!). I am free to look after your pets and/or your home during weekends, public holidays, after hours or any other time/day outside of my office job during weekdays (8:30AM-5PM). Feel free to message me check in on what time/day would work best for me. Due to the sedentary lifestyle, it can get lonely and having a stagnant life. This lifestyle pushes me to find an outlet to reach out and be close to animals while helping you to take care of your fur babies while you are busy
I have personal experience with caring for animals and I love spending time with them. I understand the stress and anxiety any pet owners experience when leaving your fur babies at home. I know that you would need to place a lot of trust in someone who is gentle with animals and genuinely cares for animals to take care of your pets. Rest assured, I will make sure you have the assurance and peace of mind of leaving your little one(s) in safe and reliable hands. 
I am more than happy to look after your animals when you are busy or away. Drop-in visits at your home, pet sitting, walk your dogs and house sit your home are some of the things I could help you out with. 
If you are out of town, I am happy to check in on your house as well and help out with your day-to-day activities such as water your plants and bring in your mail. 
As I am petite in size, I would prefer small to medium sized animals. I can feed fishes or tortoises when you are away. 
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about me or how I can help. I am happy to discuss your pet needs. 
I look forward to meeting you and your animals! 
Zichi :) 

Hi
I'm an experienced house/pet sitter for lots of special four legged friends. I have been in charge of dogs, cats, sheep, cows, goats, horses, alpaca, lizards and also goldfish and birds (though these didn't have four legs!). 
I am a mature, sensible and responsible person who will take loving care of your pets and home to give you peace of mind when you're away from them. I am flexible and adaptable to different situations and any needs that you may have with your animals and home. 
I am able to work at home for the majority of the time and can organise this to fit in with the pets I'm minding or have flexibility to call on pets at home during the day for a chat. I may be available to do pet sits outside of Hamilton if it's viable. I can take them for a walk either in a dog park if they are sociable and prefer Days Park or somewhere handy to pets home if they are no good in a car. Can spend an hour walking them or longer if they're happy to stay at their home for a play. 
I have looked after old and new, from 6 month old puppies to the old and anxious and have created lasting and loving attachments to dogs and cats I have minded. 
I have the option of taking small/medium dogs to my home for overnight care if necessary sometimes. Fully fenced property with medium garden. 

Hi everyone!! My name is Morgan and I'm a 24 year old working full time in psychological services. I have loads of experience with dogs, cats, horses and turtles :) I've grown up my whole life with horses, large dogs, cats, turtles and cows and love meeting new furry friends. I love to walk/run so can't wait to take your pups out on a walk/jog! I'll treat your pets as if they're my own ♡ Experience with walking, feeding/watering dogs (my own and others), feeding and playing with cats, feeding turtles and loads of experience with horses (evented to 1* - can feed, water, hay, shift fences/ponies, muck out etc - can even hack out if needed). I'm free most evenings and weekends. I'm available to walk/run dogs, feed cats/dogs/horses/any other pets! I'm available for visits or house sitting and also happy to just hang out with your furry friends ♡ Please feel free to reach out with any questions :) I'm available in the afternoons/evenings Monday-Friday, overnights Fridays and Saturdays, and all day on weekends. Home visits I'm happy to hang out with your furry friends + play with them! Also happy to bring in mail and water plants etc. I'll treat your home like it's my own. I don't eat any meat so there would be no meat brought into your house on overnight stays (but I don't mind at all if you do eat meat and am happy to feed meat to your pets!) With walks I'm happy to walk or run, whatever suits your pup's energy level for 30 mins to an hour! If you have a specific route you'd prefer I'm happy to follow that otherwise I'll change it up and take your pup on a safe but fun walk :) I love all animals and can't wait to meet yours!!

Keen and active person looking to spend some time with your lovely pets. Been a dog walker back in Scotland for about 3 years. Playing rugby means I often try to keep in good shape.

I have a lovely mini schnauzer/poodle cross back home named Frankie. Who is my boy, loved long walks into the unknown. We often would go trips out into the woods or mountain walks. And I am looking to replace the attention and love that I have for my boy Frankie.

Arriving in NZ with my girlfriend, I have moved in with my friend who has a brilliant 5 year old lab named Jessie. We have taken some responsibilities looking after her. Walks daily, with brushing and medicine assistant too.On top of this we have moved into two different homes with a total of 4 dogs occupying two houses so we have had a lot of experience with dogs in New Zealand too!&nbsp;

Previous Pets include - Snakes, Geckos, fish, birds and gerbils.

As an passionate animal lover, I often like going to Safaris, Aquarium and pet shelters.

Happy to take care of pets and show them same love and compassion as if they were my own. I am fit and ready to take on any challenge that you have for me..


Hey there dog lovers, Harriet here. My partner and I have previously lived rurally and now are settled in Hamilton on a large section with a fenced back yard. We have a huge love for dogs having grown up with them, and now with a 5 year old dog of our own. She is a GSP and loves running but also loves sleeping in the sun or on the sofa. My partner and I have flexible jobs that allow us to work from home and take dogs to work with us, making sure they get exercised and have company throughout the day. 
We are available for short and medium term dog boarding, as well as dog walks around the neighbourhood and to the dog park. Our dog needs lots of running but we can easily cater to shorter walks for smaller legs :)
We often look after friends' dogs while they are on holiday, and make sure we provide a comfortable place for them to stay, as well as giving them the love and companionship they deserve. Our dog is very friendly and good at sharing her toys, and enjoys having a friend to run around with. We love having other dogs around the house and they quickly fit in to our routine, within a day or two our pooch is usually curling up to sleep with her new friend, most likely in their bed! Our dog is fixed so we have no issues with entire males. Rest assured that your dog is in caring and responsible hands when they stay with us. 

I have spent the last few years as a full time house and pet sitter, both in NZ and abroad. I am happy to share reviews with you once contact is made. I love all animals, and have had great fun meeting and caring for many over the years. I am currently working part-time in a flexible job so am able to care for your animals at short notice, whether that's walking your dog during the day or staying overnight with your beloved pets. I look forward to meeting you and your animals soon!I am happy to care for any pets, and will shower them (well those that want it!) with attention and love. I am an avid walker so am happy to walk/run with dogs for any length of time. I am happy to work overnight hours, weekends and holidays. I have a reliable vehicle and current driving license.I did grow up with cats and dogs, and look forward to having another dog one day soon.For overnight stays, I will collect mail, water plants and put garbage/recycling out on designated days and am happy to send photos/updates if needed!I want you, and your pet to be happy and will do whatever I can to make this happen. I look forward to meeting you soon.

My name is Mary, 22 years old based in Hamilton looking for furbabies to take care of! I have 3 rescue cats of my own but unfortunately they stay at my parents just due to the fact that my current rental does not allow pets, this means I do not have the facilities for pets to be at the property I reside in.
I currently work full time at a dairy factory which is rostered 4 days on and 4 days off. During those 4 days, I have a lot of free time and so I thought why not do something I would totally enjoy? 
I grew up in the Philippines where I had cats and a dog (even doves), when we moved to New Zealand 14 years ago we lived in the dairy farm for 9 years during this time we had a dog name Poochie, a bunccchh of chickens(one was named Lady Gaga), rabbits (the cute minilops ones), a pet lamb named Hope where I competed in Calf Club in my local primary school, and a cat named Ming Ming.
We have now moved in the hustling and bustling city of Hamilton but in saying that I am available for pet sitting at your (owner's house), dog walks at neighby parks and home visits (just as long as its within Hamilton). I have a reliable transport so no worries with me getting around. &nbsp;&nbsp;
I believe that furbabies are also like children, as much as you love them, you need a break from them. Or maybe something came up and you just need an extra pair of eyes and hands to help you taking care of your furbaby?
Still having doubts? Thats totally understandble, I have a hobby of taking photos. So I will ensure that I send you up to date and regular photos of your fur baby.
I'm here to help!
