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 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:)I love animals, especially dogs.I started looking after dogs three years ago in the UK when we wanted to get our own pet.We only care for one or two pets at a time so we can give them lots of attention, we love being outdoors.Over two years we looked after about 20 different doggies, all grown up, age 1 year olds and up.We have experience and knowledge of different dog breeds and find it very interesting how dogs behave depending on their breed.We are happy to look after child friendly pets, who are after lots of cuddles:-)I am at home most of the time, going out of house for about 2-3 hours a day. We can discuss the needs of each pet individually and plan the day accordingly, if your pet doesn’t like being home alone we can take him/her out when we go out.We follow strict instructions on feeding as we are very aware that dogs can’t eat everything and it’s extremely important to their health.Looking forward to meet and look after your lovely doggies. We love all types of dogs and have particularly soft spot for pugs and bulldogs :-)Happy to offer discount for longer stays.We also like guinea pigs and larger farm animals: pigs, horses and sheep.

I am Sarai I have just moved to the mount and would love to take your little bff for walks to the beach parks and look after them. I am a very loving responsible active person who grew up around lots of pets since I was a baby and have had lots of furry friends ever since! I lived in papamoa beach for a bit where I looked after our flat dog khaleesi through her surgeries and before and after she got better and we were allowed to run around and go to cafes for treats!
I have lots of experience taking care of my dogs / cats as well as friends safely bringing them home from fun beach walks and I'm looking to get more experience as I'm wanting to go back to New York and do dog walking there as well! 

I loved moving to the mount (near the ocean and next to the park) and have decided to stay here for a little longer and get to know the area better and would love to meet you and help you out with your pets in the meantime! 
I do live right next to the park so if you leave your little friend with me we will have a lot of fun playing in the park as there's usually other friends that come play there! We have a fully fenced backyard where we will be safe and able to play also :) 


I love being with dogs and am working towards training animals to work with youth at risk. I have my own fluffy pooch who is a certified canine friend and great companion. 
We have a multi level home close to the beach. The back yard is fully fenced and has generous lawn area for dogs to play, some trees for shade and paving stones for wet days!  On hot days we put up a small paddling pool or if you are happy fit in a beach visit. 
I am happy to look after any house trained dog in my own house, or if requiring toilet training I can do this in your own home, for an additional cost. 
I am usually at home with the dogs unless it is for a quick supermarket shop or short meeting. During this time dogs are in a secure area and comfortable, always with water accessed from a drinking fountain. If you have a crate or special bed this can be put up so that they feel at home. 
Being with dogs is my happy place. I have more experience with smaller breeds but am comfortable with dogs full stop. My husband and I are empty nesters and both of us love animals. I am trustworthy and can establish a rapport with dogs quickly.
We will only take vaccinated, toilet trained and neutered dogs into our home, but happy to dog sit in your home if you can't meet this criteria. (Fee may differ depending on travel time)

Hello! my names Mere and I am a passionate dog lover :)
I've always been around animals since a young age as I was raised on a farm in the East Coast which gives me loads of experience caring for a range of animals eg dogs (working and house), cats, horses ect. I have a deep adoration and affection for fur babies and will make sure that your dog receives the personalised care and attention it needs during our walks. If you have a more energetic dog I am also happy to go for runs with them!&nbsp;
Along with walking I am also a very reliable house sitter and can promise to send you photos everyday of your very happy and healthy pets/plants as well as a well kept house. I am 20 years old and based in Papamoa/Mount Maunganui working an 8-430  and would like to pick up some extra cash while spending time with animals on my days off :)
Please dont hesitate to send me a message!


Hi, I’m Jhone!
I’ve always loved animals and have gained valuable experience training my own dogs with the guidance of professional trainers. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle different behaviours, understand their needs, and provide positive, enriching care for pets.
I’m also deeply committed to animal welfare. I’ve volunteered regularly at the SPCA and local animal shelters, helping care for animals in need. Additionally, I donate food and handmade pet beds I’ve created from repurposed fabrics, combining my love for animals with sustainability.
For your pets, I offer more than just care—I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Dogs will enjoy engaging and stimulating walks tailored to their energy levels and personality, while also benefiting from reinforced good behaviour. My goal is to keep your pet physically active, mentally stimulated, and emotionally secure.
As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate your needs, whether it’s daily walks, one-off visits, or last-minute bookings. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Let me help make life easier for you and happier for your pets—let’s work together to ensure they thrive!


About Me and My Motivation to Be a Pet Sitter
Hello! My name is Paula, i am from Spain, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family and I have cared for around twelve dogs in total, and right now I live with five wonderful ones—each with their own unique personality. Some live with my father, others with my mother, and one belongs to my father’s partner, so I’m constantly involved in their care and daily routines.
Spending time with dogs truly makes me happy. I love walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered walking and caring for dogs in need, which gave me even more experience handling different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Through that, I learned how much a little love, patience, and attention can change a dog’s day.
My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my genuine love for animals and my desire to help others care for their furry friends when they can’t be there.

I have previously house sat on many occasions for family and friends taking care of the home with great pride as I would my own. I like to take care of cats and dogs and indoor and outdoor plants am happy to care for other animals once given instructions. I can give medication that can be put into their food not injections. I can bring the dogs out for evening walks I like to do an hour of an evening walk and can feed them morning and night.the days I work from home I can entertain them all day :)
I enjoy the variety of house sitting and love to meet new furry friends. I like people to be able to enjoy their holiday or time away from home without worrying about the home or if the pets are ok I am trusty and reliable. I'm vigilant about setting alarms and locking windows and doors and sending daily updates to owners. I can stay for as long as needed or as little time.
I am from Ireland originally and have lived in New Zealand for just over 8 years now and having been a renter for a decade I have not been able to have my own pets at all in this time and miss them immensely I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members


Hi  I'm Rachael. I'm a reliable, trustworthy and versatile pet/house sitter in Tauranga. I'm in my late 20s, and have owned pets my entire life. Growing up we had cats and guinea pigs. Now, my partner and I live on a 15 acre lifestyle block with our elderly dog, Bella, my horse, Milly, and our stock (5 cows, 20 sheep). We also have chickens and bees. 
In the last few years, friends have asked me to house sit for various pets (cats, horses, dogs, stock, chickens) and I've really enjoyed it! 
I am fit and capable. I'm confident to walk dogs, and handle any rural animals - from mucking out to fencing and water, I've done it all. 
I prefer to come to you and look after your animals in their home environment, but we do have grazing available for short term stays for horses and stock. 
While I'm at your place, I'd be more than happy to help with any errands (mail, cleaning, watering plants, opening and closing windows etc - just ask). Depending on whether the stay is on a week night or weekend, I can stay for 1 hr+ during my visit(s), or might be able to stop in multiple times during the day depending on location. I am sensible and honest, and happy to keep in touch while you're away. 
Please get in touch if you think I would be a good fit for your loved ones while you're away.
