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 Queenstown 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 Queenstown.

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 Queenstown 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.

Hi, I'm Karen and I have been living in Queenstown for the past 4.5 years. My fiance (Andrew) and I have done a lot of dogsitting for our friends in the recent years. We have experience with a range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Some of the dogs we have had so far include a pug, viszla, border collie x Australian shepherd, golden retriever, bichon x miniature poodle, german shepherd. In summer we like to take the dogs out with us on different activities - a swim in the lake, cherry picking over in Cromwell, or out on a bike ride. In Winter when it's cold or raining, we prefer more of a cruisy day in front of the TV.
We live in a fully fenced house in Lower Shotover, right next to the Twin Rivers Trail. We also have two indoor cats, Charlie and Bean, who are very confident and friendly. They have been very good with all the dogs we have had, especially Bean who we have had since he was just 3 weeks old.
I work a mix of morning shifts or afternoon-evening shifts. Your dog will never be left alone for over 6 hours at a time (and they can never truly be alone because Bean won't let that happen! )
What I offer:
- two daily walks (up to an hour each depending on the dog's energy requirements)
- basic grooming and regular brushing (I am happy to bath the dog too if needed)
- nail trimming
- oral or topical medication if required
- a warm, loving home and plenty of attention
As a pet owner myself, I understand the feelings of unease when you leave your pet for an extended period of time. I send regular updates of your dog's adventures and photos/videos to keep you updated. I am happy to follow any routines that you have and continue any training (both my cats have learnt "sit", "paw", "stay", and "cuddles", and Charlie also knows "hush"). Your dog is also more than welcome to sleep on the bed, or if you prefer, in a crate or his/her own dog bed
