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 Palmerston North that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Palmerston North 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 Palmerston North. 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 Palmerston North. 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 Palmerston North.

Kia ora ! My name is Anjali, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, and becoming a dog walker allows me to spend time doing what I truly enjoy. I have experience with all breeds, big and small, energetic and calm!  I understand how to care for each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it's a quick walk or some extra playtime, I make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Walking dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. That’s why I offer my services at affordable rates, so you can trust your pup is in good hands without breaking the bank. I’d love the opportunity to walk your dog and give them the attention and exercise they deserve. I look forward to spending some time with your dog and making sure there's no more zoomies left in them ! I also dont mind coming to your location to pick your dog up if that is more suitable.  


I’ve always grown up surrounded by animals, and caring for them has become a natural and fulfilling part of my life. I currently have two dogs, a Greyhound and a Huntaway, who keep me active and constantly remind me how unique and loving each pet can be. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to farm animals. My experience includes home visits where I’ve fed, walked, and medicated dogs, as well as caring for cats while their owners are away. I’ve also stayed at properties to look after horses, a pig, lambs, a goat, and chickens. Whether it’s providing companionship, following feeding routines, or ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I take pride in offering attentive and compassionate care. Being a pet sitter allows me to combine my love for animals with helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I am looking for more four legged pals to take on some walks 
I focus on walks, socialisation, and confidence building tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is always to meet dogs where they are, provide them with patience and understanding, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care.
When Rudy my Pomsky came to me from a rescue situation, he was very timid. With patience, consistency, and love, Ive helped him rebuild his confidence, and today he is a happy, joyful dog.
I have been passionate about dogs and their well-being for years, starting with helping my friend raise puppies, guide their early training, and helping ensure they found the most suitable and loving homes. I have also been involved in rehoming adult dogs. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful, confident pups to anxious or traumatised dogs.


I am a super keen animal lover! Having a range of pets growing I am the go to girl for my friends and families walking and pet sitting needs. As I currently don't live with any pets looking after yours will be just as fun for me as it will be for them! My services available are Dog walking, home visits and house sitting.
I am a 22 year old living in Palmerston North and am very keen to help out any pet owner in the area! I have had previous dog walking and pet sitting experience. Including experience with reactive dogs! I am super keen to get some fresh air with your pet no matter the breed, activity level or size of your dog I am keen to walk them as far or as long as you require them to be. I am also a keen runner so I would be more than happy to take your dog on a run if you would like! 
I am also more than happy to pet sit or conduct home visits and check in on them! If you need anything else done while you are away, such as watering plants etc. please let me know! I am super keen to communicate openly about your pets needs to help me give your pet the best experience. 
So if you need someone to walk your dog, look after your pet and home while you're away, or just to give them some love and a feed please reach out! 



Hey! I'm Emma-Lee, and I'm absolutely passionate about dogs! With over a decade of experience, I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up on a farm. This has given me a deep appreciation for their needs and behaviors. My background includes completing Level 3 and 5 in vet nursing, providing me with a solid understanding of animal care and well-being. I'm dedicated to offering reliable and fun dog-walking services, ensuring your furry friends are safe, happy, and well-cared for!

In my pictures, you'll see some of my family pets, including two small dogs and a 22-year-old cat who absolutely loves cuddles! I understand the importance of individualized care, and I always strive to create a positive and enriching experience for every dog I walk.

I live in central Palmerston North and drive a 4WD, so even if you have a big dog, I can definitely still take your dog out for a walk! I'm familiar with many great walking spots around the area, and I'm always up for exploring new trails and parks to keep things interesting for your pup. I'm also happy to accommodate specific requests, such as playing fetch or working on basic training. Just let me know what your dog needs!

Hey!
My name is Linda Williams, and I am a local high school teacher. I have joined up to Pawshake to earn some extra cash to put towards an overseas trip next year.
We had an adorable rabbit growing up called Knijntje (The dutch name for Miffy). I've had experience dog sitting, cat sitting and house sitting over the past summers for friends and family. I am also very active, so taking your dogs for a walk is a good reason for me to go for another walk or run. I love kittens and puppies, and can not wait for our own place so I can get one of our own :)&nbsp;
Our rental currently sadly doesn't allow pets but I'm more than happy to come to your place to feed or walk any pets and even some additional duties such as gardening &amp; cleaning, by negotiation.Looking forward to meeting you!&nbsp;


Have you been coming home burnt out but your 4 legged companion still needs their exercise and attention? Are you planning a trip away without your fur babies? I would love the opportunity to help out! I would best describe myself as a highly organised and reliable pet sitter with a passion for animal care. I currently am 23 years old and work as a dental assistant. I have a fur baby of my own she is a tabby girl who is super friendly and gentle. I absolutely love caring for people and animals alike! I currently have experience with my own pets (I have grown up with dogs of various breeds and sizes) and pets of friends &amp; family and would love if you gave me the opportunity to keep your pet safe and active. I am passionate about cooking, baking, rollerskating and anything crafty or outdoorsy! Rates are not set as I am not quite sure of what to charge as of yet, can be available for the right hours with the ability to provide consistency where needed. I live in a town home with plenty of parks and off road walking areas. I love checking out new walks so if there's a preference as to where I walk your bestfriend please let me know! I have currently been walking a 9 year old Jack Russell every evening and we are loving it! My partner and I love to keep active and he would be happy to help out hands on with the care of your Bestfriend :) 

I'm from South Korea and I'm 18 years old. I really want to make good experiences with pet before I leave New Zealand for my study! I volunteered in veterinary clinic for 10 days, and I experienced and saw lots if case if small animals! (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes) 
I have two cats (not in New Zealand) and they've been sick a little lot, so I notice very well about cat's condition. I learned little bit about dogs and cats conditions or abnormal symptoms from veterinary when I volunteered, so I'll call you right away if anything wrongs. I'm very good at give them medication and bathing.
I finished my rabies vaccination (3rd) and I have a neat personality, so you don't need to worry about parasitic infection from other pets. I don't have any phobia or allergy about animals and pretty good at handling!
 I can send you pretty pictures &amp; videos &amp; today's condition or abnormal symptoms of your pets through messages and I'll care about your pets as my pets ️ You'll know what I mean if you get experiences about me with your pets! I can't wait to make special time with your families. Let's give special memories to our pets!! 
My worktime: anytime before 8pm!



Hi!! My name's Mabel, I'm looking to save money for an OE and what better way to do it than spend time with some pups!! 
I've moved away from home and sadly no longer get to see my doggos too often, so I would love to take yours for a good walk! Unfortunately where I live now has a (not very sociable) cat so I don't offer dog sitting or onboarding at my house. 
I've walked my dogs and walked for friends previously.
Well-behaved dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, are loved just the same in my books. Every pup deserves some love and care. 
I'm here for when you're too busy or the forecast isn't looking too good! I love animals and staying active so allow me to be your new friendly dog walker! 
My available days:
