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 Whitikahu 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 Whitikahu.

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 Whitikahu 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.

My approach to dog sitting is rooted in responsibility and reliability. I am known for my punctuality, attention to detail, and ability to adhere to specific care instructions provided by pet owners. Whether it's administering medication, following dietary restrictions, or engaging in playtime activities, I take pride in going above and beyond to meet the individual requirements of each furry friend.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy playing with pets, going on walks, feeding them on schedule, and giving them the attention they need to feel happy and relaxed. I am patient and gentle, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves to play or a quiet cat who enjoys calm companionship, I make sure they feel cared for at all times. I am reliable, respectful of homes, and committed to following all instructions carefully. Pet sitting is more than just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy because of my love for animals.

Hola! My name is Sergio, and I’m a veterinarian from Colombia with a deep passion for animals and nature. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for many beloved pets—cats, dogs, and even horses—and my career has only strengthened my understanding and love for all creatures. I’m known to be reliable, friendly, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of animals, which is why many have entrusted me with their pets’ care over the years.

I’m currently in New Zealand and am also exploring opportunities to house sit. For me, house sitting is not only a way to help others feel at ease while they’re away, but also a wonderful chance to discover the natural beauty and unique places this country has to offer. I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. I have had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits and doves. I have a natural connection to all animals and love taking care of them. I have a soft spot with all animals. 
I often look after my co-workers dogs and puppies and go on daily walks with my black Lab Jessey. My cat Pepe is also very clingy and requires lots of cuddles.
Growing up I've had beagles, labs, golden retrievers, 4 cats and a few bunnies and Guinea pigs. I had responsibilities from a young age of feeding, walking, bathing etc
I support my friend who owns an animal rescue business and will always donate to them. 
Making a safe and loving environment is my top priority for any animal so I would love to meet and care for your baby, just as I would for my own. 
My services are overnight stays and potential dog walking if close to my area which is along the river walk, dog park or Hamilton Lake. I like to go for 30-45 min walks depending on the dog. I am available Friday evening through to Monday evenings. 
I am open to house/ pet sitting on weekends.

Hi!! My name is Kitty and I am a farm girl from the Waikato living with many pets and animals throughout my life. On the homestead, we have 3 big farm dogs (mostly for decoration as they don't heard cattle lol) Lucy, golden retriever, Hershey, choc Lab and newest addition Molly, a Red retriever. We have 4 cats, most of which were strays found on the farm and taken into our home. Boy, Lynx, Elsie and Friday are vip members or our big and ever growing family. 

I have experience looking after cats and dogs, both big and small. Tending to sick animals and catering to the individual needs of each pet. I am comfortable administering medication and very familiar with discipline techniques used for training pets. I have recently finished a 2-week long house sit with a cocker spaniel and tabby cat. I would love to hear from you about your pet sitting needs so please do send me a message! ️

I am available for dog walking, house visits and house sitting at your request.

Hi!!
My name is Selena Howarth and I am a huge animal lover with a few pets of my own, a dog, cat and fish. I love all animals and have had experience with many, including domestic pets and farm animals. They are my kind of peace!!
My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my deep love for animals. I experience so much joy being around animals and would feel fulfilled by offering peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their pets are in safe hands while they are away. Being a pet sitter would also allow me to combine my passion for animals with flexible work and offer a rewarding way to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. 
I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the care and attention they deserve, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away!!
