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 Wanaka 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 Wanaka.

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 Wanaka 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’m Pieta! 

I’m an experienced animal lover with several years of hands on pet care, including dog walking, feeding, house visits, and building long term relationships with pets and their owners. I previously ran MeadowBark Pet Services for years in Auckland, caring for a range of dogs with different personalities and needs.

With a strong background in customer service and responsibility heavy roles, I’m reliable, attentive, and confident handling pets of all sizes. I’m active, outdoorsy, and love getting dogs out for a fun walk, adventure, or just providing calm, comforting company at home!

Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first. I’m great at following routines, problem solving, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Services I offer:
• Dog walking
• Feeding &amp; home visits
• Overnight care 
• House Sitting

I currently work 1-10pm at New World Three Parks, which may be an issue for your furry friends if they can't be alone for too long! 

I’d love to meet your furry friend, feel free to reach out with any questions! 

My ten-year-old son is offering dog walking, fully supported and supervised by me. He’s grown up around dogs and has helped care for family and friends’ pets for years. He’s gentle, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with animals.
We follow each dog’s routine so things stay familiar. If your dog likes a certain route, a slower pace, or a quick play before heading out, we’ll match that. We’re happy to stick to feeding or treat instructions, use your preferred lead or harness, and follow any quirks your dog has. We take time to get to know each dog so the walks feel calm and enjoyable.
Safety matters to us. All walks are supervised by an adult, and we keep to safe paths and quiet areas. We can send a short update or photo so you know how your dog is going.
If you’d like to meet us, talk through your dog’s needs, or book a walk, just reach out. We’d love to help.&nbsp;



Hello! I’m currently travelling around New Zealand and would love to care for your pet while you’re away. I have had animals my whole life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish and budgies, so I’m comfortable with different types of pets and personalities.

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting. During walks, I adjust the pace and distance depending on your dog’s age, breed and energy level. For high-energy dogs, I provide active walks and playtime. For senior or more relaxed dogs, I keep walks calm and shorter. I am also experienced with shy pets and always approach them gently, giving them space and time to build trust.

I carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean bowls, and can administer basic oral medication if required. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour changes to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

Safety is a top priority for me. I double-check gates, use secure leads, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your pet during outings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.

My goal is to provide dependable, loving and attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

Hi, I’m Birdy! 
I’m an animal lover from Taiwan, currently in New Zealand on a working holiday. I’ve grown up around animals and can’t imagine life without them. Back home, I’m a proud cat mum to two sweet kitties, and I adore dogs just as much! 

I previously worked as a veterinary assistant in Taiwan, where I supported medical care, helped with feeding and medication, and learned calm, compassionate handling for animals with different personalities and needs. Here in New Zealand, I also spent two months caring for baby calves on a dairy farm — feeding them, keeping their space clean, and making sure they stayed healthy and happy.

I’m friendly, patient, and reliable, and I believe every pet deserves love, safety, and comfort while their humans are away. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated like family and cared for gently and attentively. 

 What you can expect from me:
• Daily photo &amp; message updates 
• Calm, gentle and patient care
• Familiar with giving medication &amp; basic care needs
• Walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles &amp; company
• Transport by car or walking, depending on location 

I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make them feel safe, happy, and at home.
