She took great care of my pets while I was away—attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. I received regular updates and came home to happy, relaxed animals. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!"

"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! 🥰 "

"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 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!"

"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"

"Isabella looked after our three dogs for a week while we were in Australia and we were very happy with the experience.
One of the things we especially appreciated was that Isabella works from home, which meant she was able to spend plenty of time with the dogs and provide them with lots of company and attention.
Communication was great, with updates and photos of the dogs' walks, which was pleasing, knowing they were happy, and well cared for.
We returned to an immaculate house. Everything was left exactly as we'd hoped.
We would happily recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter

"After using Pawshake and finding an amazing pet sitter in Petra I can’t see us ever using a kennel or cattery for our fur babies! It was such a relief to be able to leave them in safe, responsible and conscientious hands. Petra was so lovely, a great communicator and we felt at ease straight away after meeting her. Our dog and two cats were well cared for and we had a great holiday without any worries about them or our home while we were away. Thanks Petra, we’d love to have you back in the future!"

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.
