"We had Hannah look after Luna and Saaschi for a few days while we were away on the West Coast, and she was absolutely wonderful. Communication was easy and relaxed, she sent regular photo updates, and the girls looked genuinely happy and settled the whole time.
It means a lot to find someone you can trust with your pups — not just to feed and walk them, but to care for them with the same love they’re used to at home. Hannah did exactly that.
Highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter who goes above and beyond. We’ll definitely be booking her again. 🐾✨"

"Shrushti showed great care for our dog and cat. They liked her immediately. She gave them plenty of time and cuddles and was very reassuring to us in her care for them. It was our first time to have someone housesit and pet sit so we were very nervous. We are happy to say the pet sit went very well and our pets were well and happy when we returned. 😺🐶"

"Helen was an amazing house and dog sitter. We had a new puppy as well as two other dogs so she had her hands full! Helen communicated with me during our time away if she had any queries about the dogs routines etc. She left the house spotless and the dogs were very happy and settled upon our return. Would not hesitate to recommend her !"

"Kellie June (or June as she prefers to called) was an absolute godsend for us.
June is professional, looked after our dogs and home for 5 days, sent regular photos and updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away.
We engaged June at short notice due to a cancelation from a friend, and we highly recommend her to anyone needing their
animals looked after or even just walked.
Thanks, June. We can't wait to book you again. ❤️"

"It was our first time using Kate's pet sitting service for our Lassie, and we were quite happy with the overall service!👌🏻Kate was lovely to meet in person at our initial meet & greet, and we could tell that she had a natural and genuine care for animals 😊
We received daily updates and photos of Lassie whilst we were away, which gave us peace of mind that she was well taken care off. Lassie was also taken on daily walks which she absolutely enjoyed!
We returned home to a super happy fur baby and a tidy home which is always a bonus! 😀 Highly recommend reaching out to Kate for your pet sitting needs 🌟"HReview by Heambrosia

"Kaelee met ourselves and our dog prior to going away. She had really open communication and kept in touch with us with photos and messages during her stay. Our house was left clean and our dog received lots of walks and adventures with other dogs each day. Kaelee listened well to our care instructions for our dog and would query if she had concerns or wondering about her. We are very happy to use Kaelee’s services again! Thank you very much, Kaelee! Luna already misses you! 🐕🦺🐾"

/nightWhy 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 Port Chalmers 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 Port Chalmers.
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 Port Chalmers 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.
