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.

Hi there. My name is Amy and I'm looking for some additional work. What could be better than taking care of some furry friends! 
My whole life we have had a house full of pets. We currently have a fun (and massive) Lab/GSP puppy and a cutie one eyed cat (please rest assured, her losing the eye is in no way a reflection of my animal sitting abilities). 
Over the years we have had mostly large dogs, so I am very comfortable with animals of all sizes. I also consider myself a bit of a cat whisperer (don't tell the dogs I'm a cat person). 
I currently have two jobs. My full time position is as a graphic designer and I also do some casual work doing bartending and ushering for events. Outside of work I’m a competitive dancer, so I’m fit and will enjoy exercising your dogs. 
I am mainly looking to offer dog walking, and checking in on your pets at home to make sure they have a bit of love and attention in the day/feeding them. I will also happily consider a house sitting if the situation is right.
I look forward to getting the opportunity to hang out with your fur baby, so you can have a worry free time away. 

Hello! My name is Ellie. I'm 30, and from England, but love travelling around, using all the work visas I can.&nbsp;I'm looking for dog and/or cat sitting positions, at the pets home. I am in Te Puke until mid May, and have a vehicle, so able to travel to the surroundings areas. My dates are flexible so get in touch if you're looking for a dog sitter!In terms of my experience, I worked as a professional dog walker and dog/cat sitter in Canada between 2019 and 2021. I can administer medication, and I have a dog CPR certificate. I've volunteered through a website called 'workaway' where on multiple occasions I've house and pet sat for a range of animals (dogs, cats, alpacas, chickens), and helped at animal sanctuaries too (I had a rescue lamb named after me 🥲).I can't have a pet of my own right now, so caring for others pets fills that void and brings me so much joy. I enjoy giving them dogs plenty of walks and activities to keep them entertaining and loved.I've done a number of recent dog sits here in NZ, so can provide references if necessary.&nbsp;I'd love to hear from you, with any questions or dates you're in need of! Thank you, Ellie

My name is Silvina, I am 37 years old, I am from Argentina. I am a family doctor, I love my job. I also really like contact with nature and doing outdoor sports. I enjoy hiking and I am a fan of visiting new beaches.
I love animals, the affection they provide is beautiful and authentic. I come from a family of veterinarians and grew up caring for animals, cats, dogs, rabbits and even farm animals.
I really like spending time with them, playing, taking care of them. I have experience in pet care, I have done it in different countries such as Argentina, Spain, France and England. I realy loved it.
I am currently touring New Zealand and I consider this a nice opportunity to be in contact with animals.&nbsp;My services include taking care of pets, feeding them, cleaning them and keeping their areas clean. If necessary i can also take then for a walk.&nbsp;
I promise to take care of each one of them as if they were my own family and give them lots of love and support.


My motivation stems from a profound love for feline companions and a genuine understanding of their unique needs. Cats are not just pets; they are cherished family members, each with their distinct personalities and preferences. Being a cat sitter allows me to immerse myself in the joy of caring for these wonderful creatures and ensuring their well-being in the comfort of their own environment.
I've cultivated a deep appreciation for the intricacies of cat behavior, from the playful antics of kittens to the more relaxed demeanor of senior cats. My services extend beyond the basics of feeding and litter box maintenance; I offer personalized attention, engaging playtime, and a keen eye for any signs of discomfort or distress.
Usually, cats are treated as aloof or less affectionate, but I believe their independence is what makes them incredible and loving. I've cared for young cats, adults with special needs for years, and my latest experience was Mia, a 3-month- old kitten diagnosed with partial blindness.
When it comes to cats, it is preferable that they remain in their secure environment, so I recommend providing care in their own home. I exclusively accept the care of vaccinated cats for the peace of mind of both parties.
I can take care of the cats at home, give them the medication they need, accompany them and play for as long as they need. I don't have time limitations, I usually have more availability on weekends but also during the week.
