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 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.

I'm from South Korea and I'm 18 years old. I really want to make good experiences with pet before I leave New Zealand for my study! I volunteered in veterinary clinic for 10 days, and I experienced and saw lots if case if small animals! (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes) 
I have two cats (not in New Zealand) and they've been sick a little lot, so I notice very well about cat's condition. I learned little bit about dogs and cats conditions or abnormal symptoms from veterinary when I volunteered, so I'll call you right away if anything wrongs. I'm very good at give them medication and bathing.
I finished my rabies vaccination (3rd) and I have a neat personality, so you don't need to worry about parasitic infection from other pets. I don't have any phobia or allergy about animals and pretty good at handling!
 I can send you pretty pictures &amp; videos &amp; today's condition or abnormal symptoms of your pets through messages and I'll care about your pets as my pets ️ You'll know what I mean if you get experiences about me with your pets! I can't wait to make special time with your families. Let's give special memories to our pets!! 
My worktime: anytime before 8pm!



My name is Katie, I'm 20 years old and animals are my life! I have worked at a pet store for almost 3 years now and love every sort of animal that walks through the door. I have my certificate in animal care and am currently studying veterinary nursing at UCOL. I believe in heaps of enrichment and walks for doggies as it is so important for them. One of my favourite activities is taking my 11 year old Jack Russell out for walks with my friends dogs, especially to beaches. I love every breed of dog and cat and absolutely love to take care of them :) I like to try out new places to walk my dog, so if I were looking after yours I am happy to take them on a little adventure if wanted. I love to spoil animals with all the love they deserve especially through cuddles and treats. 

Kia Ora, 
My name is Alex and I am lifelong animal lover! 
I've had all sorts of pets- from Guinea pigs to horses, chickens to pigs and of course- dogs! 
I worked at a riding school for several years- and was a competitive horse rider. My competition horse is retired and is still out on my parents lifestyle block enjoying his golden years (he is 26)
My experience with dogs is varied- I have experience with smaller breeds- growing up with a fox terrier and an Australian terrier- but am also confident with large breeds, having owned a leonberger. I also have experience with rescues and farm dogs! 
My gentle and calm nature has always allowed me to connect with animals and I just love spending my time with them.
Animal welfare is a passion of mine, and I am a confident individual who is capable of managing any challenges.
The combination of kindness + strength makes me a great handler/carer for animals. I am hands on and have no fear around larger animals, whilst also having a knack for making more nervous friends feel at ease.
Pets have always been part of my whanau! 
Fun Fact- I wasn't allowed to watch much television growing up and one of the only channels I was allowed access to- was animal planet. Steve Irwin was my idol

Ki Ora!
I'm a vet student at Massey University looking to help care for your beloved pets. 
With a deep passion for animals and a foundation in veterinary science, I'm here to offer your pets the care and attention they deserve. From walks and playtime to administering medications or handling special needs, I've got it covered.
Unfortunately due to the student situation my flat is not suitable for animals but how nice to keep your pet in the comfort of their home. 
I have always had family cats and dogs in the house until moving to University so I can ensure your pet will be spoilt. 
I have experience pet sitting ranging from a single family dog to 12 farm dogs both for decent periods of time. I have also completed a placement at a dog kennel and day care where I quickly built connections with the dogs allowing them to be happy in my presence. 
 Your pets will be treated like family in my care, ensuring their well-being and happiness. You'll be leaving your furry friends in the hands of a fellow pet enthusiast willing to show them lots of love. 

My name is Nicole, I'm 20 years old and animals are my life! I have been working on a farm for the past 4 years on and off (due to a farm bike injury). I grew up on farm so I was constantly surrounded by animals so I very quickly became a animal lover- also thanks to my mother who adores animals as well. I still now rent on a life style block outside of Palmerston North as I do enjoy the country life more than the fast city life. 

I currently have my own little fur babies (1 dog, 5 calves and now and love every sort of animal that walks through the door. I believe in heaps of enrichment and walks for doggies as it is so important for them. I love every breed of dog and cat and absolutely love to take care of them :) I am happy to take them on a little adventure if wanted. I love to spoil animals with all the love they deserve especially through cuddles and treats. Whatever pet needs you have I will try my best to provide. 

I am someone you can trust with your pet that will take good care for them giving them the very best and ensure a good time is had.I will ensure that pets have a stress free enjoyable time. I am happy to do check ins and will keep you updated on your pet with photos to allow peace of mind.
I have my license with my own car so happy to take dogs to the river for walks or even to the beach or for hikes. 

House Sitting &amp; Check Ins:
Whilst looking after your animal I will do daily check ins so that you can keep up to date on your fur baby, I can also send photos so that you are able to see their cute faces when you are away. For home stays I will usually arrive in the afternoon and leave in the morning, however I am flexible with this and can tailor to you most of the time. I am a very tidy and I will always be respectful of your home and of course your pets.
I will always look after an animal as if it was my own as I understand how much they mean to us and how they are part of the family. Any questions are welcome, I will do my best to accomodate for your family.&nbsp;
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I would love to get to know you and your fur-babies. Looking forward to meeting you!&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;I am a University student studying communications. I want to be a pet sitter because I love animals; I have a cat myself and I make sure he is loved and vaccinated with yearly vet visits.I love all animals, dogs, cats, mice, lizards you name it.I've had previous experience cat sitting my neighbours cat while they were in Australia for family purposes, and always made sure that the cat got so many pets, the right amount of food, and even play time. My experience got me to understand the different attitudes other cats can have than my own cat and I learned to work with it.I also walk dogs every now and then, and make sure they have plenty of time to get their walking in, I come prepared with doggy bags, and always encourage the dog to keep going and understand the dogs mood when he or she wants to go back home.&nbsp;
