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.

Hola! My name is Sergio, and I’m a veterinarian from Colombia with a deep passion for animals and nature. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for many beloved pets—cats, dogs, and even horses—and my career has only strengthened my understanding and love for all creatures. I’m known to be reliable, friendly, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of animals, which is why many have entrusted me with their pets’ care over the years.

I’m currently in New Zealand and am also exploring opportunities to house sit. For me, house sitting is not only a way to help others feel at ease while they’re away, but also a wonderful chance to discover the natural beauty and unique places this country has to offer. I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. I have had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits and doves. I have a natural connection to all animals and love taking care of them. I have a soft spot with all animals. 
I often look after my co-workers dogs and puppies and go on daily walks with my black Lab Jessey. My cat Pepe is also very clingy and requires lots of cuddles.
Growing up I've had beagles, labs, golden retrievers, 4 cats and a few bunnies and Guinea pigs. I had responsibilities from a young age of feeding, walking, bathing etc
I support my friend who owns an animal rescue business and will always donate to them. 
Making a safe and loving environment is my top priority for any animal so I would love to meet and care for your baby, just as I would for my own. 
My services are overnight stays and potential dog walking if close to my area which is along the river walk, dog park or Hamilton Lake. I like to go for 30-45 min walks depending on the dog. I am available Friday evening through to Monday evenings. 
I am open to house/ pet sitting on weekends.

Hi!! My name is Kitty and I am a farm girl from the Waikato living with many pets and animals throughout my life. On the homestead, we have 3 big farm dogs (mostly for decoration as they don't heard cattle lol) Lucy, golden retriever, Hershey, choc Lab and newest addition Molly, a Red retriever. We have 4 cats, most of which were strays found on the farm and taken into our home. Boy, Lynx, Elsie and Friday are vip members or our big and ever growing family. 

I have experience looking after cats and dogs, both big and small. Tending to sick animals and catering to the individual needs of each pet. I am comfortable administering medication and very familiar with discipline techniques used for training pets. I have recently finished a 2-week long house sit with a cocker spaniel and tabby cat. I would love to hear from you about your pet sitting needs so please do send me a message! ️

I am available for dog walking, house visits and house sitting at your request.

Reliable and Caring Pet Sitter- Your Pet's News Best Friend!

I've always had a deep love for animals, if anything I'd say animals are a lot better than most humans (they won't gossip behind your back and they'll love you unconditionally) and pet sitting allows me to turn that passion into a service that helps pet owners feel at ease. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive caring for your pets when you're away. Whether it's daily walks, feeding or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved and loved.
I'm willing to dog walk and do overnight stays. My home is located in Hillcrest.
I have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. From energetic pups needing long walks to senior pets requiring gentle care, I adapt to their individual needs. I ensure a clean, stress free environment and stick to their usual routines and minimise any anxiety.
 For health and safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and providing them with all the best care possible!

Hi there! I'm a passionate animal lover with a lifelong history of caring for pets. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, I’ve grown up around animals and have cared for a variety of pets over the years — including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional bird. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your beloved pet, and I’m here to offer a safe, calm, and loving environment for them while you're away.I believe every animal has its own personality and needs, so I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just quiet company, I’ll tailor my care to suit their routine.You can also expect regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend!

ABOUT ME: Kia ora! I'm Luna and I'm a postgraduate student at The University of Waikato. My husband and I are a child-free couple &amp; used to have two furbabies in the Philippines. Since Philippines in not in the approved list of NZ to transport pets from, we couldn't get them here YET because we need to save up for full pet migration agency service. Our babies are Aloy (female, local Filipino dog breed) and Kylo (a mixed breed Beagle and Bully; unfortunately, he died just last October 17, 2024 due to blood parasitism and it broke our hearts totally).
MOTIVATION: While saving up funds to get Aloy. here in NZ, I'm looking to channel my love for furbabies here and earn some extra income through dogsitting. I also wish to do this as part of honoring Kylo's life. It would be nice to help families take care of their furbabies while they are away of have some other tasks to attend to in a day. It would be a great pleasure for me.
NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in Hamilton East and have a good neighborhood and clean pathwalks for dog walks. It is accessible to nearby parks like Galloway Park, Steele Park, and all the way to Hayes Paddock and the river walk.
AVAILABILITY: I'm relatively free during the Summer break, and can be available late afternoons and evenings during the semester.


Hi!!
My name is Selena Howarth and I am a huge animal lover with a few pets of my own, a dog, cat and fish. I love all animals and have had experience with many, including domestic pets and farm animals. They are my kind of peace!!
My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my deep love for animals. I experience so much joy being around animals and would feel fulfilled by offering peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their pets are in safe hands while they are away. Being a pet sitter would also allow me to combine my passion for animals with flexible work and offer a rewarding way to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. 
I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the care and attention they deserve, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away!!

Hi everyone!! My name is Morgan and I'm a 25 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 (typically 5pm onwards), 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!!
