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 Richmond 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 Richmond.

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 Richmond 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.

**Loving Pet Care in Nelson Tasman**

Welcome to our pet-loving family! As serial pet rescuers with hearts full of love for dogs and cats, we understand how precious your furry family members are. Our household includes Mum, Dad, and our responsible 19-year-old daughter, along with our gentle 4-year-old hunt-away cross who loves making new friends.

Working from home means your pets receive constant attention and companionship throughout the day. Dad’s daily running routine ensures active dogs get the exercise they need and love. Your pets will be cared for in our safe, loving environment where they’ll be treated as part of the family.

Available from October throughout the Nelson Tasman region, we’re happy to provide additional services like plant watering and property maintenance. Whether you need short-term care or long-term arrangements, we’re here to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

We have references available for cats and dogs .as air bnb hosts we know how to ensure to look after your property 

My love for animals began long ago. Growing up on lifestyle block, surrounded by goats, rabbits, cats, and fish, instilled in me a deep appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of each animal. Last year I travelled to Bali to volunteer at a turtle sanctuary where I was responsible for the day-to-day care of hundreds of turtles, and my passion for animal care grew even stronger. I've always had pets in my life, and currently, I own a young Golden Retriever and a senior cat who bring me so much joy.

My motivation for pet-sitting stems from a genuine desire to provide exceptional care for animals while their owners are away. I understand the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry, feathered, or scaled family members are in capable and loving hands. With my previous experience pet-sitting, working in a pet shop and my lifelong experience that has stemmed from owning pets, I'm well-equipped to offer a range of services, including dog walking and home visits. I will also consider house/pet-sitting upon request.

Please note: my partner (who also has a passion for animals and has owned many pets throughout his lifetime) may join me on occasion.
We are both committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We believe every pet deserves to feel loved and secure, and we are dedicated to making that a reality. We are excited to meet your pets and provide them with the care they need while you're away. Get in touch and let us know what service(s) you require and we will let you know if we can help.&nbsp;

Kia Ora!
My name is Shauna, and I’m a 23 year-old teacher living in Stoke. I love dogs and cats, having grown up with both in my family home, and I truly miss the companionship of animals, as I haven’t been able to care for my own pets in the past few years due to living in a student flat.
I have previous experience walking dogs, as well as house and pet sitting. As a teacher, I’m used to caring for others and being responsible, so you can trust that your pets will be in good hands with me. I lead an active lifestyle, spending lots of time outdoors, whether it’s beach walks or hikes in the park, I’d love to have a furry friend along for the adventure!
I’m friendly, approachable, and flexible with my availability. Alongside the services I offer I also include plenty of pats, cuddles, and attention for all furry friends!

Hi, my name is Adam! I've had a lot of experience with pets over the years, having had multiple dogs (from chihuahuas to Labradors) and cats both in New Zealand and in my native UK.&nbsp;
I've offered pet sitting previously back in Birmingham (the most interesting experience being 2 weeks looking after 10 border collies, very tiring) and would love to get back into it now I've settled in Stoke, Nelson with my partner and our cat Henry.
I understand that a pet is a huge part of the family and it can be stressful sorting out their care when you need to go away (I've been there and understand the stress) so providing them with companionship, exercise, and stimulation is as important as feeding them or cleaning up after them. With this at the front of mind, I will send through updates and photographs of each visit or walk so you have peace of mind whilst I take care of your pet.
My preference is to primarily offer walks and visits to your home as our current setup would not suit having additional animals stay with us but could potentially perform overnight stays in your home if absolutely required.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
I look forward to hearing from you about your pets and how I can help.


Hi, I’m Paul, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets and house-sitting.
I grew up with dogs and cats, have had pets of my own, and for the past few years, I’ve been regularly pet-sitting for friends, colleagues, and clients. I currently have two cats, ChewBacca and Bacon, and I’m privileged to be seen as their personal butler.
Availability &amp; Services: 
I’m available for pet care mornings, afternoons, and most evenings - I am very flexible regarding time/day for house visits and sittings.
 Dog Walking – Walks are typically 30 minutes, but can be longer if required, depending on your dog’s energy levels. I enjoy beach walks, parks, and safe neighbourhood strolls. If your pup has a favourite route, I’m happy to follow their routine! I can take them to The Back Beach, Tahunanui Beach Dog Park, or The Grampians for a good hill climb, even Marsden Valley Dog Park—whatever suits them and their energy levels.
 Home Visits (Dog/Cat Feeding &amp; Check-ins) – Visits are around 30 minutes per trip and include feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, and cuddles (if your cat is up for it!). I can also water plants, bring in the mail, and take out the bins.
 House Sitting – I can stay overnight and work from your home during the day (as long as there’s WiFi), ensuring your pets have company for most of the day and all evening. More companionship = less pet stress, especially in their familiar home environment. I also keep an eye on security, water plants, enjoy gardening and maintain a tidy home while you're away.
 Additional Care – I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats. If your pet needs extra care, just let me know.
I’ve looked after everything from energetic young dogs to older pets needing extra attention, even fostering dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA.
Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priority - let’s chat! &nbsp;
