"Zoe is such a lovely conscientious organised person, who our bordoodle Finlay adored from the moment he met her. Finlay was taken on lots of great walks and we had regular communication and photos. Highly recommend Zoe to look after your pets and your house:)"

"Cannot recommend Grace more if I tried! Grace kindly house/pet sat for us while we had our first family holiday overseas. I was anxious about leaving our home and pets for such a long time, but Grace was fantastic. She was super reassuring and accommodating with house visits to meet us all, and more importantly, the pets. Needless to say our babies and house were in safe hands! Thank you so much Grace! We will hopefully see you again soon!! "

"Audrey looked after 14 week old terrier cross Biggles from 3:30pm to 9:30pm. We came home to a calm house with Biggles peacefully asleep in his crate. Audrey was easy to communicate with, arrived on time. We would gladly have Audrey back. "

"Taylor was very friendly and punctual. She communicated fast and was so helpful for us and our dogs. She’s excellent, everything we expected from a sitter/pet sitter. Super trustworthy and caring. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Taylor after our trip to say thank you in person then to see how our dogs were with her, we knew they were very happy and in safe hands. They simply love Taylor. Highly, highly recommended and will be our first choice every time!"

"Kirsten is amazing! The best pet sitter we have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much our little fur boy loves her. She took care of him and our house with the utmost of care. It’s always hard to be away from your pets, but our minds were rest assured by Kirsten's constant updates and efforts to ensure he is in the best of care. Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications - thank you Kirsten for being the wonderful person that you are!"

"The best house sitters you could wish for! Andrew and Caroline were fabulous in every aspect of pet, animal and house care. They treated our puppy like he was their own, taking him on walks and car rides and socialising him, communication was regular and detailed, house was immaculate, nothing was too much trouble. There was a lot to look after on our little lifestyle block but Andrew and Caroline were fantastic, even sorting out a few things on the property that needed fixing. Thank you both, we would not hesitate to book you to house sit again for us and Bear. "

"Sofia and her partner John were everything I could have wished for. They are such caring, loving, attentive house sitters. Their communication and photos of them interacting with our fur babies made me feel that I could relax and enjoy my time away. It was obvious through the photos that our animals loved having them stay. They also cared for our time consuming, elderly dog beautifully. The animals were so well cared for and our house was spotless on our return. I would absolutely recommend Sofia and her partner John to everyone."

"Gwyneth was an absolute joy to have as a house/pet sitter. She has a lovely way with animals and our little very anxious dog was at ease with her. She is very friendly , communication was great and a pleasure to have in the house. We were away for 5 days and came home to a very clean, tidy house and two VERY happy, very relaxed dogs and one purring contented cat. Would absolutely recommend Gwyneth. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend! Our pet sitter Melissa did an absolutely amazing job looking after both Nikka and Dribbles, as well as our home. We came back to two very happy pets and a spotless house — everything was clearly cared for with love and attention. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Melissa more highly!"

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 Palmerston North 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 Palmerston North.

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 Palmerston North 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 Palmerston North on Pawshake. Over 212 pet owners in Palmerston North have left a review, with an average of 4.95/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
