Top cities for house sitting in New Zealand

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 Puhoi 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 Puhoi.

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 Puhoi 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.

Abit of me
It's been over a year since I was last active on Pawshake, but I'm looking forward to getting back into it and meeting new people and their furry favourites. If it's not obvious already, I love animals. They have always been close to my heart and one day I'd love to incorporate my passion for animals and hope for better mental health within people, in a way that is healing for both the animal and human. Dogs are my fortè, however I am confident with all other household pets.
I currently manage a dog day care where I've been for almost 4 years now and absolutwly live it. I was living in London and running my own doggy daycare from home (which I am happy to gather references from if need be) and absolutely loved it. The idea of running around with pups all day was a no brainer for me really!
I picked up some online courses whilst working and completed Pet first aid, Animal care level 3 and canine communications among other ingouse qualifications whilst at dog daycare.
Services
House sitting - As I work full time if your pets are comfortable at home for the day I have no problem house sitting during weekdays, will happily discuss further. Whilst staying in your home your dogs will get min 1x 1 hour walk, generally longer and/or multiple on a nice day. I'll care for both your home and pets like my own. Washing, feeding and medicating any pets that need it and keeping your house spick and span, just the way you left it.
I'd love to chat about any questions you have :)&nbsp;


My name is Kiannah. I have a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Nursing and over 2 years experience working in small animal practice. I have volunteered for an animal shelter for the last 4 years and I have a keen interest in canine behaviour. I am an advocate for having stress free animals. 
Pawshake is great as it helps to keep normality in their life. Being a Vet Nurse I have special skills when it comes to caring for pets that may need medications. I am interested in dog walking and overnight stays, for any range of species. Being part of paw shake is a great way to use my knowledge and abilities to care for you and your pets needs. 
As a Vet Nurse I have the ability to carry out basic health checks. So if you have a pet with special needs I'm your gal. This may include medications, recent surgery or a pet that you just think needs a little more care and knowledge then your average pet sitter. I'm also well aware of how to care for reactive dogs and how to give them a great quality of life even though you can not often do the same activities as you would with other dogs. 
I am physically fit and enjoy walking in nature. For this reason I'm a great fit for dogs with all exercise needs. 
I provide daily walking up to 2 x a day.
Adminstration of medication.
Nursing care.
Overnight stays.
Care for any range of species 


Hi I’m Skye!
I’m 22 and I’m from Hibiscus Coast 
I have always been an animal lover, and decided to go vegan when I was 18 
I have had cats and dogs all my life and have a little Westie named JJ. 
I have been pet sitting for 2 years and absolutely love meeting new fur babies. I am very reliable, responsible, and passionate about pet sitting and making sure that your pet is loved and being well looked after. 
I will bring in your mail, water your plants, and of course give lots of love and attention to your pets. 
I work from home with just my laptop and wifi so I can spend all day with your fur baby. I am a home body and spend most of my time working or reading. 
I have learnt with pet sitting that everyone’s pets are different and unique and that it's important for me to adapt to each pet and their needs so that they are comfortable and happy while their parents are away

 Non-smoker/vaper

From day one dogs have stolen my heart. I have two family dogs whom I treat as my beloved children.
Wherever I go my dogs follow, they come on adventures, get pampered, and get endless kisses and cuddles.
Throughout my last years of school my dream was to be in the K9 but soon found out how challenging the job really was. Over the past year I've been trying out different jobs but can't seem to find the one that I really love, and I know why...none of those jobs had animals involved. So that's why I'm here, dogs are my passion and my happiness. No matter the size, shape or personality all furry friends are welcome in my arms.
If you're wanting to go away for a weekend or on holiday, I come to you! Stay in your home with your beloved furry friends. 
I love to do a meet and greet to get to know you and your furry friends and their daily routine. I have a daily rate of $50. 
Feel free to ask any questions or queries and I will do  best to answer them for you. 

Hi Pawrents, does your pet get stressed in a kennel or cattery environment? Perhaps you own a lifestyle block and want a holiday or weekend getaway. Having someone come and stay in your home can make your pet feel more relaxed and safe while you're away. I'd love to be your house sitter!&nbsp;I have a huge passion for animals, I'm reliable and trustworthy, and will look after your pet with the upmost care and attention. I have good communication skills, can follow instructions, and will send you lots of photos along with updates every day.

I dogsit for some of our clients in their homes regularly.I have been pet feeding and house sitting for over 5 years and thoroughly enjoy it. I'm confident with: dogs, cats, birds, small pets, fish, and livestock.&nbsp;Animals are a big interest of mine, I have a Certificate in Animal Management - Canine Behavior and Training from Unitec. This course had a main focus on dogs but also covered all companion animals, livestock, and small animals like rabbits, ducks, fish, reptiles etc.If your pet has any special needs or medications I can accomodate those. I know how to administer most medications and can do injections if shown how. I know basic pet first aid and want to do a full pet first aid course along with more animal based courses to upskill myself.My house is not dog friendly so I am currently only providing house sitting for all pets. Rest assured your furbaby and home will in good hands. I can bring in mail and water plants as required. Your house will be clean and tidy upon your return.I have dog grooming training and experience. As I'm not currently working as a groomer I am not including that as a service. I can bath, brush, and do nails on request.&nbsp;
I have a clean police record and can provide excellent references. I'm happy to provide a police check upon request. I am smoke and drug free.




I am a mature, vibrant kiwi women who has always been a bit of a gypsy. Having lived in Asia and Australia for the past 20+ years I returned two years ago to my homeland. I have been house-sitting since the end of 2022, taking care of cats and dogs and sometimes farm animals.&nbsp;
I am a big lover of nature and the bounty of creatures that inhabit it. I find myself somewhat of an animal whisperer. It's rare that I don't find a connection. I work remotely in education and I have background in arts and wellbeing.&nbsp;I also manage social media for an animal charity in Thailand. 
I am presently available in the greater Auckland area. Please reach out for a chat. I find it really important to have a good connection with home owners, to understand the needs of their pets and to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I also really enjoy building a relationship for repeat sits. 
I appreciate great communications. I enjoy taking and sharing photos and videos of your pets. Presently I am working from home so able to keep your furry friends company throughout the day. I love walking and am comfortable dog walking. 
My pricing reflects short overnite sits in the Auckland area.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am available for longer sits as well. 
I live quietly and value authenticity, so you can trust that I will take care of your beloved pets, your plants and your beautiful home. I have a many references off this site that I am happy to supply, including phone referees.

What recent pet owners have said about me: 
Gemma has looked after our fur baby since 2019. We prefer to let Socks stay home rather than the stress of a cattery, he then gets to enjoy home with the added bonus of Gemma's company.  Gemma is professional and organised and I know if anything was to happen to Socks, Gemma would be very capable in any situation. We love Gemma!
