"Melissa looked after our two dogs and our house while we were away for 5 weeks. We had never left them that long but once we met Melissa we were at ease with going away and knew they would be well taken care of! I can’t rate Melissa highly enough for house sitting, she took the best care of them including special care for one because he still had stitches in from a surgery when we left! We were sent photo updates every day and our house was spotless when we got back. We are so grateful, thanks Melissa!"

"Shanley is a superb pet sitter .
we had never left our boy Bali before ,and we're extremely anxious about going away for two weeks .
After only a couple of days ,we were very at ease ,Shanley tool to our fur babies and them to her like they were family .She showed a lot of love and care to our pets,was very observant and caring,❤️ and had a genuine passion for them .
We received constant updates and photos throughout our trip, we were like, "Our boy is having a holiday of his own and so much fun he won't want us back "
Shanley is a very contentious, caring person in general and has a real affinity with animals.
Our cats were a challenge, but not for Shanley.
She genuinely does this role for the love of animals and doesn't charge much at all compared to others who don't care so much .
I would not hesitate to recommend her,and she has now become part of my fur babies' family .They love her .

"Ashley did an amazing job looking after our two pups and two cats while we were away. She was a fantastic communicator and sent us photo updates twice a day, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for.
We came home to four very happy pets, and the house was spotless, clean, and tidy. It was obvious that Ashley had taken wonderful care of both our animals and our home.
We will definitely be booking Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter."

"
We couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter than Anika. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we were away.
She took wonderful care of both of our dogs, and we were especially grateful for the extra attention she gave Joey, who had a cut paw. She made sure he was comfortable and kept us informed every step of the way.
We returned to two very happy dogs and a beautifully cared-for home. It's obvious that Anika genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and would happily have her look after our dogs and home again. Thank you, Anika, for doing such an amazing job!"

"Roque capably met the challenge of caring for our 3 dogs (ages 2, 10, 13), 2 cats and 1 guinea pig for 9 nights. Our oldest dog needed twice daily medication which Roque was qualified and happy to administer. He picked up meds from the vet when they ran out, which we really appreciated. We received videos of the dogs enjoying their walks and a few questions that indicated Roque was carefully following the instructions we had left for him. This gave us great reassurance in leaving our precious family of animals in his care. We would gladly have Roque back in our home to care for our animals in the future."

"We had the pleasure of having Catherine & Athen house sit for us and care for our dog Taco over Labour Weekend, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Everything ran seamlessly — the house was well cared for, and Taco was clearly relaxed and happy on our return.
Taco can be anxious around fireworks, and with Labour Weekend often bringing unexpected noise, we were especially grateful for the calm, reassuring environment they provided. It’s clear they’re experienced, compassionate, and genuinely attentive to pets’ individual needs.
Communication was smooth and thoughtful throughout, and we returned to a home that felt peaceful and well looked after. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, caring pet/house sitters. Thanks so much

/nightWhy 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 Piha 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 Piha.
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 Piha 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.
