"Mel & Dan did an amazing job looking after our 8 month old pup and took excellent care of our home. They were very good at communicating with us and we knew our dog had been well cared for and looked after when we got home. 100% recommend to anybody looking for a pet sitter. "

"Esther was awesome while house sitting with our two dogs. She communicated really well with us both before and during her stay. She was kind and gentle with our dogs and even left them a couple of toys to play with. I would happily recommend Esther."

"Clare and Liam did an amazing job looking after Beau and Darcy! The dogs were so happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was spotless. We couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. Would definitely recommend them! "

"Jon was a fantastic pet sitter. The dogs were very happy and still got out for walks, even in extremely wet and windy Wellington weather. The house was left even cleaner than when we arrived, and we received regular photo updates throughout. Highly recommend!"

"Abby took great care of our dog Indie and cat Tiger. She sent us daily updates and photos and it was obvious that she really cared about our pets, including taking Indie on daily walks and letting Tiger sleep on her bed. We would definitely book her again!"

"We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tracy to care for our Ragdoll cat, Yuki. She looked after him for two weeks while we were away, and like always, we came home to a very happy and content cat. Yuki is usually shy, but with Tracy, it’s a whole different story—he’s completely at ease. She truly is a cat whisperer! Tracy has now become our go-to pet sitter because we know Yuki is in the safest and most loving hands. She’s attentive, calm, and genuinely understands feline behaviour, which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away. Not only did she care for Yuki beautifully, but she also looked after our home and plants, leaving everything in immaculate condition. We can’t thank her enough for the care and thoughtfulness she brings each time. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🥰 "

"We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Bethany treated our dog so well, our dog was so sad to see her go when we eventually came home! We got regular updates and we could see that she was being well looked after so I never worried about her. Bethany was great at communicating and kept our house tidy (not easy with a pup!) She also left us some feedback and some training tips that are very useful (our dog is 1.5 years old). I have my fingers crossed that she will be available the next time we need a pet sitter."

"We highly recommend Tajul as a pet sitter. He was friendly, punctual and very attentive of our little cat Aggie. Tajul was very responsive and had excellent communication, keeping us updated often about Aggie’s playtime and meal times. He also left our house very clean and tidy after his stay. "

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 Porirua 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 Porirua.

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 Porirua 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 Porirua on Pawshake. Over 1453 pet owners in Porirua have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
