"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!"

"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! "

"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."

"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! 🥰 "

Lots of communication and updates as to how my pup was getting on which was fantastic. She also left the house spotless and in perfect condition. I would absolutely recommend Tumihi if you are wanting your fur baby well looked after! "

"We’ve just returned from a 14-day trip to Bali, and Geena did an amazing job looking after our three dogs. Rain or shine, she made sure they got out for their daily walks, and we loved receiving regular photo updates; it made it so easy to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. We came home to an immaculate house, which was hugely appreciated after travelling. We’ve already booked Geena again for our next trip, which says it all. Would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter."

"I honestly can’t say enough good things about Cathy. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and that care really showed in the way she looked after Shadow. She was a fantastic pet sitter and treated Shadow as if she were her own, making sure she was well cared for, comfortable, and happy while we were away. We did have an unexpected and stressful incident where Shadow managed to escape from the fenced area. Cathy handled the situation calmly, responsibly, and exactly as you would hope someone would. She immediately took action by contacting the local pound, nearby veterinary clinics, and Shadow’s regular vet, leaving no stone unturned. Throughout the entire process, Cathy kept me fully updated and in the loop, which made a huge difference during what could have been a very worrying time. What really stood out was Cathy’s dedication and professionalism. She didn’t panic, she didn’t give up, and she genuinely went above and beyond to make sure Shadow was safe. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt reassured that Shadow was in the best possible hands. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive pet sitter. Knowing that someone like Cathy is looking after your pet gives you complete peace of mind"

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 1451 pet owners in Porirua have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
