When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Christchurch that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Christchurch to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Christchurch. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Christchurch. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Christchurch.

I am in my mid 20s, a young working professional that works in the aerospace sector as a project coordinator. I love animals, but working and living in Chch CBD limits my interaction with some furry friends.Growing up I have owned rabbits, cats, fish and my parents currently have our 2 family dogs (Jack Russell X Chihuahua and Mini Dachshund) who I spend time with every week. I am very active, and love going in the backyard or park to play with pets, or taking them on walks. 
I can be available in the weekends and evenings during the week, I can housesit/petsit for you, or take your pets out walking after work, walks will be for about 45 minutes. I have also pet-minded/house sat for a number of friends and colleagues, looking after a German Shephard, a number of cats and Guinea pigs. My home is very small, so not ideal for pets, but have lots of parks and walks nearby, I am also happy to travel.
I love interacting with animals, and want to spend more time with them considering I can;t have my own. I know how important it is to make sure your pets feel care for and loved while they are away from their owner. I am respectful of your rules and boundaries with your pet, and would not encourage uncommon behaviour. I will love and care for your pet as much as you do.


Hello! My name is Julia and I am an extremely passionate, organized and energetic person with the skills and experience needed to look after your pets. Animal care has always been a passion of mine and it started 6 years ago through Kiwi House Sitters where I had 9 house and pet sitting experiences with good feedback from my care.My services include:Dog walking - a 30 minute walk for your dog. No off lead walks unless specified by you. Catered to your dog's needs, whether they require long walks, or a short wander around the block.&nbsp;&nbsp;
House visits - a 30 minutes visit spending time and playing with your pet, letting your pets out to the toilet, feeding them, and cleaning cat litter trays and clearing the grass.&nbsp;
House sitting - I will keep your pet company while you are away and keeping their routine as close to what they are used to including feeding times, walk times and durations, and play times. Your house will be well looked after, I can water your plants and bring in your mail, etc. Chores will vary depending on the house and pet needs and can be discussed prior to the commencement of the sitting. I am available mornings and evenings.I provide in home pet care according to your needs, I can come once or twice a day while you are away to feed, exercise, medicate and play with your pets. These visits are 30 minutes duration but a longer visit can be organised as well. I have experience with providing medication for pets respecting the timing when these are needed. I provide daily photo updates and ensure your pets are happy and healthly. I am available everyday so give me a message to enquire I am experienced looking after dogs, cats and chickens but I am open to care for other pets such as Guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. All of them treated with the utmost care and respect. I look forward to organizing a perfect pet sitting for you and your pets! 


Hello. My name is Leigh-Ann, I am 29 from England and have been in New Zealand since February. I am currently working full time in mental health but would like to help people and their doggies in my spare time ( and for my mental health lol ) I am not a certified dog walker but hanging out with doggos and enjoying fresh air on the regular sounds like the perfect thing.
I have been around dogs my whole life, I spent my life on my grandmas farm back home with all kinds of animals. I am a friendly, trustworthy and respectful individual who is just basically happier around dogs. I am patient and caring and will always ensure your doggies are safe in my care.
I am offering dog walking, dog sitting and home visit services for people in need. My availability - Saturday &amp; Sunday all day. Monday - Friday between 5am &amp; 7am and any time after 4.30pm (my work ours are 8.30-4.10pm). I have experience giving oral medication if needed. 
I have a car meaning me and your dog can explore! I am confident me and your dog will be soul mates 
Look forward to hearing from you! 

I love dogs but also love to be able to help out for people to get away! I have grown up with dogs my whole life mostly labs and currently have a Staffey X Labrador named Gus. I love seeing the countryside through short stays, I am a working professional, clean and organised person. Would love to look after your place while you have the time of your life! 
I am also happy to look after cats, and some farm animals if there's only a couple (e.g. chickens, pigs, will not do horses) happy to negotiate times, days, animal care needs (e.g. for an extra rate I can take them for walks, take to the groomers/trainers) I am working full time 9-5, min-Fri so bare in mind I will not be there during the day. Also would love to keep in touch for future work! Could also negotiate a cleaning rate for extra things such as cleaning the windows, oven, fridge etc, it goes without saying that keeping your place tidy during my stay is a priority. 

When I am housesitting I require:
- wifi password
- clean tidy bed to sleep in
