"Maria loved our old boy Sammy (14 yrs), walked him twice each day, kept up with his medication and made his time without his buddy (who had passed away days before) less lonely. She let us know how he was settling which made our holiday stress free. I’ve never come home from a holiday to a house so spotless, in fact cleaner than I left it. She has my heartfelt thanks for everything she did for Sammy."

"We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter this weekend.
Our dog was well cared for, loved, and had a great time. We received regular updates and great photos, which gave us peace of mind.
Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, which is always the best sign. The house was also in perfect shape.
Highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitting."

"Alisha stayed at our home for 2 weeks, taking care of our cat and huntaway dog. She sent us lovely photos of our pets, who looked very happy. Our home was well looked after, and it was clear that Marley and Rocky , though they missed us, were well-loved and content. We will definitely use Alishas services again and highly recommend her. "

"We cannot fault Hannah and Isaac! They were so responsive and easy to contact in the lead up to the booking. They are lovely people that went above and beyond in keeping us updated with photos and messages about what our dog Jethro was up to. We could tell he was so well taken cared of and given so much attention. On top of that, they left our house so clean and tidy which was such a bonus to come home to. Next time we go away, they will be the first people we look up. Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting peace of mind knowing their pets are in safe and caring hands!"

"Shiying is an absolute gem! We initially felt nervous leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time. However, Shiying's m/g was professional and calm which helped us feel more confident. During the day, Shiying sent us photos and updates of our doggies Maevis and Frances. She kept our home tidy and our dogs well loved.
We will be using Shiying's services again. We highly recommend her!"

"Jamie looked after our cat, Maggie, and French Bulldog pup, Frankie, for 8 days while we were away in Australia. We were very lucky that Jamie was able to house sit for this time as Frankie was only little and required extra attention. Jamie was absolutely amazing and we came home to happy animals and a spotless home. Jamie kept us up to date daily while we were away and setting up a meeting and communication prior to our booking was a breeze! We will most definitely book Jamie again in the future and will recommend him to anyone in need of pet sitting services. Thank you Jamie!!!"

"Can’t thank Georgina and Josh enough for their excellent communication, regular message updates, daily photos and respect they showed for our home and our Labrador Coal. They listened carefully to why we needed a sitter and kept our aging boy to his routine which we greatly appreciated. Most importantly,
coal loved his time walking and playing with both of them which was clear to see.
100% recommend Georgina and Josh to anyone looking for pet sitters. We were first time pet sitter users and they have given us the peace of mind and trust to use this service again. "

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 Tauranga 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 Tauranga.
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 Tauranga 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.
