"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! 🐾❤️"

"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 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."

"We had the most amazing experience with our house sitters and dog sitters while we were away. They took such wonderful care of our dogs, and it was clear they were genuinely happy, relaxed, and well loved the entire time.
We were kept updated daily with detailed messages about how the dogs were doing, what they had been up to, and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were overseas. As first-time dog owners leaving our dogs behind, I was quite anxious, but this experience could not have been better.
We would absolutely ask Fernanda and her beautiful family for their help again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Highly, highly recommended!"

"Laura house sat for me and looked after my three cats (one of whom needs medication twice daily) whilst I was overseas. I can’t speak highly enough of her - she even managed to win over my (very very) shy girl in just a few days! The house was spotless and cats happy and healthy on my return. I highly recommend Laura, especially if you have a shy pet! Thanks so much Laura, I appreciate your care for my “furkids” so much, and they obviously loved having you here too!"

"Ali was an exceptional cat sitter who took amazing care of our cat and home while we we were away for three-weeks. She kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos which gave us complete peace of mind. Our usually shy cat warmed up to Ali quickly, and it was clear that he was well cared for and loved.
On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, caring, and attentive sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ali to anyone!

"We’ve returned from a week away, and during that time one of our dogs, Lola, became quite unwell with a virus and suffered severe diarrhoea for several days. Geena handled the situation with incredible care and professionalism, including dealing with all the clean-up and even taking Lola to the after-hours vet at 2am, only getting home again around 4am.
We were so grateful knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Her communication throughout was fantastic, with regular updates that gave us real peace of mind during what could have been a very stressful situation.
Coming home to happy dogs and an immaculate house was hugely appreciated.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Geena to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and genuinely caring pet sitter. "

"We were so lucky to have found Danielle to care for our Baxter. Baxter has significant health issues that require injections and daily medication. Danielle managed his cares competently and confidently. Danielle showed a true affinity to animals and won Baxter over which was a relief to know he was in safe hands. We threw some unexpected drama into her stay and she dealt with this with a quietly reassuring manner. I would highly recommend Danielle to care for your precious pets if you want a stress free solution to your pet minding needs. . "

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.
