"BEST SITTER EVER! Colleen was an absolutely amazing pet & house sitter! We had her stay at our home to look after our cat for a few weeks, and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. She was incredible about sending daily updates with photos and videos, which we loved, and it was so clear our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time.
When we came home, the house was immaculately clean, and on top of that she left us the sweetest bundle of goodies. Colleen truly went above and beyond. We would 100% ask her to sit for us again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter! "

"Rosalie was lovely when she house/dog sat recently. Our dog seemed very happy and it was great for them to meet a few weeks before. She was accomodating with our dog needing medication and special care due to a recent op. We appreciated it and definitely recommend Rosalie. "

"Eileen looked looked after our Greyhound “Bellamy” in our home for 24 nights over December/ Christmas 2025. As we were travelling abroad, we needed someone we could depend upon, including someone that could be relied upon to make logical, practical choices if the time zones weren’t aligned to communicate and give us confidence regarding Bellamy’s common basic first aid needs (he is a real clutz!); Eileen gave us this sense of trust. She provided us with much appreciated updates and affirmations of everything being ok while we were away, including valued photos of our boy. We came home to an exceptionally tidy house, and a very happy well cared for hound. My partner and I are so incredibly grateful to Eileen and recommend her as trustworthy and reliable for dog and house sitting. "

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing house and dog sitter!
Emma and Nathan were absolutely fantastic! Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well looked after the whole time we were away.
We came home to a spotless house and a very content doggos. Everything was just as we left it, if not better. It’s such a great feeling knowing both our home and our dogs were in such good hands.
We’d have them back anytime. 🐶🏡❤️

"I could not have asked for a more loving, kind, accommodating, tidy, attentive, beautiful souls to look after my fur babies.
The dogs were cared for like their own, photos, videos, updates daily was such a nice touch…plus they stuck to the walking arrangement we had as 2 dogs walk better together than the other. Dogs were brushed, clean and phenomenally happy in every way. Further to add, I could not have been happier with the change in temperament of barking of Piper - not sure what they did but they really quietened her down. It was like magic….and having Bubbles with the gang was a real highlight for us as being a small pack having another in is a good teaching lesson for my babies. Plus bubbles is bloody cute!
Beyond all of this we were so lucky to come across these guys. They made it an absolute stress free environment not just for the dogs, but for me. Plus They literally left the house cleaner than the day we left.
100% recommend
100% will be using them again
100% the best dog sitter ever experienced
Thank you again. X"

"Mieke is everything my dog, Weka, and I look for in a pet sitter; vibrant, independent, responsible, outgoing, energetic, confident and a very open and clear communicator with good values. Meaning I could leave my house and pet with peace of mind.
Weka is 40kg of cat-curious muscle on four paws that Mieke, having experience with golden retriever, handled admirably. Weka was sad after saying goodbye.
I highly recommend Mieke, your pets will thank-you too. "

"Amala was a wonderful pet sitter for my mini Poodle. She followed my detailed care guide to the T and was incredibly attentive and responsible throughout her stay at my place. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear from every update that Poodlu was happy, active, and very well cared for.
Amala was proactive, communicative, and genuinely caring. I could see that she took the time to understand his routine, commands and behaviour, and she handled everything beautifully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter, and I would happily trust her with Poodlu again."

"Amy is honestly such a professional, we were so blown away. It felt like we had hired the owner of a well established and highly respected doggy day care /pet sitting business to pet sit for us. She had no issues with all our messages, we received regular pictures of the dogs, playing with toys she brought with her for them, she was completely flexible with when she would need to arrive and when we were coming home, and our house was left perfect!! If you are worrying about finding someone to trust with your pets and house, honestly just stop and choose Amy. Thank you Amy for being such a gem"

"I would highly recommend Cindy and Ronald for pet sitting. Our dogs were extremely well looked after, regularly walked and given lots of love and cuddles while we were away. One of our dogs had a recent eye injury and needed multiple medications each day...this wasnt an issue for Cindy and Ronald. They diligently followed the instructions, administered the medications and provided daily updates. We had complete peace of mind that the dogs were in the best hands and had a great trip. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned too! Honestly, they are the best dog sitters we have ever found! Thank you so much!"

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 Takanini 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 Takanini.
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 Takanini 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.
