"We were really pleased with how Amy looked after our three pets (two cats and dog) while we were away. She was also a very considerate house sitter too! We will definitely use her again!"

"Shannon was a fantastic house and dog sitter - calm, reliable, great at communicating and went above and beyond with giving her a bath. She looked after both the house and my dog Ella really well, and I would absolutely book 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! "

"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! 🥰 "

"Caroline and Errol were amazing with our Buddy! ❤️ When our flight was cancelled and our return was delayed, they were so understanding and even took Buddy home with them despite having work the next day. They gave him so much love, kept us updated with photos, and went above and beyond by looking after our fish and budgies and even tidying up our kitchen and shoe rack. Couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters! 🐾❤️"

"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 couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our 2-month-old puppy. I was really worried leaving our puppy for the first time but Steph made the entire experience so reassuring. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and dedication shown to our little pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again."

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 1491 pet owners in Porirua have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
