"Carla was so wonderful taking care our pup Oulipo while we were out of town. It's always such a relief to know your dog is in safe hands . She's an excellent communicator and very conscientious - we felt very confident in her understanding and care of dogs. "

"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 :) "

"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. "

"Cailey did a wonderful job of looking after my animals which included an elderly cat, two dogs and several chickens. She left the house in a very tidy state and she was so easy to deal with. I will certainly book her again as I know that she will take superb care of my pets and my house."

"We are delighted with the great care Mel and Dan gave our 2 dogs and young cat for the 3 weeks they looked after them. They visited our home before we left so the pets were familiar with them and they could discuss routines. While we were away our dogs were exercised regularly and the cat ( long haired) brushed. We returned home to find happy relaxed pets. We received regular updates and photos. Mel and Dan went the extra mile, the house was tidy and pet litter picked up from the yard. I highly recommend them as 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! 🥰 "

"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 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."

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 1362 pet owners in Porirua have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
