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 Takanini that can help?”.

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

Kia ora, I am a 60 year young, born and breed kiwi. I grew up on farms when I was younger and have an affinity with all animals, big or small.&nbsp;
I have just returned from Australia where I am a member of Mad Paws and Mind a home over the past 4 years, where I've had the pleasure of careing for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, Guinea pigs, also alpacas, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and even snakes.
I would be honoured to care for your babies if they were my own and give them the love and attention they deserve.I am available morning  noon and night plus I can do overnight or longer stays at yours or mine. I am not working at this time, so I'll have all the time in the world to love and play with your babies.&nbsp;
&nbsp;I have a very large grassed, fully fenced off back yard so your dogs would be secure. When minding your pets at your place, they alongside your home will be well taken care off, where I could water plants, bring in your mail, put out rubbish bins etc. For home visits, I will spend an hour or more, feeding and playing with your pets and dog walks are also for an hour normally to their local park.
I share my home with my adult daughter and her outdoor cat with no young children.
I do have a police clearance and references. I am not working so all my attention will be on your pets. Thankyou.


Heya! I'm Mary that doesn't have a lamb, however I have the skills and love to care for your dogs :)
I have a passion for dogs, it's been a lifelong journey rooted from my childhood. Dogs has always been a part of my life, my deep connection with them only grew stronger over time. 
I don't have a backyard for dog visits, I strongly believe in giving dogs the freedom to run and explore in open spaces. It's important to me that dogs experience the joy of movement and play, outside of confined areas.
Earning my Level 3 Certificate in Dog Behaviour further fueled my dedication to understanding and helping dogs. I’m driven by the joy of seeing dogs thrive through positive reinforcement and proper care. 
I do not own a dog however I am a proud Aunty of many nephews ️
Driving is not an issue for me I have full licence I am flexible and reliable.

Hi there, Kia ora! My name is Reemal. I was born in the beautiful Tauranga. I moved to Auckland to studying psychology and work in the mental health field. I have been living here for around 8 years. I am currently a support worker and am also studying counselling at the moment. I have lived with both cats and dogs and have experience taking care of both. I love animals and would love to look after your precious fur baby, whether it be taking them for a walk, house sitting, giving medication and whatever else you require. I am open to looking after any kind of animal and am happy to learn what your pet needs. I can also provide references upon request.I am based in Manurewa but am willing to travel to areas nearby. Please contact me for further information. I look forward to hearing from you.Thank you!    ️&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi there! I’m Queenie — a caring and dependable pet lover based in Wattle Downs Auckland . I’ve been helping friends and families with pet and house sitting for several years, and I absolutely love the joy (and cuddles!) that come with spending time with animals.

My service includes:
- House sitting (overnight if required): cleaning, laundry, plant care, ironing
- Pet sitting: visiting, walking (a good 30' or more if required), feeding, showering, playing

I treat every furry friend like a true friend — making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved at their own home while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I take pride in creating a calm and comfortable environment for them. 

I have rich experience with small to medium dogs, cats (elderly cats on medication!), chickens and bunnies. I’ve got some wonderful references from happy pet and house owners who appreciate my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care. You can read them in my profile.

Pet sitting isn’t just a side hustle for me — it’s something I truly enjoy. So if you’re looking for someone who’ll care for your pets and your home as if they were their own, I’d love to help! 

Hi I’m Maddie.
I’m 20 years old and I love dog walking and house sitting. Im currently studying at Christian Bible course. I play music, like to cook, read, swim and exercise as well as look after my family. 
Ive been dog walking since I was 13 casually and started housesitting since 2022. I love pets, I've grown up with them and every animal I've met always seems to be comfortable around me. I've housesat for Guinea pigs, fish, birds, dogs and cats and have got some bookings for somewhere with chickens and sheep in a couple months time.
I’m reliable, caring, honest, friendly, polite, tidy and trustworthy. I strive to look after animals well, have fun with them and look after the house well too and hope to exceed expectations. 
My experience: I house sat in Masterton regularly for someone when I lived there, during weekends and looked after his cats. I house sat for a month in August 2022 for two french bulldogs. I currently house sit regularly for an elderly woman when she goes away, which has 3 cats. Occasionally I house sit for another who has 2 cats. A few references are below :) edit: experience is growing as I have been housesitting regularly since downloading the app 
Housesitting reference 1:
Madison has looked after my cat on 4 occasions now, each time I’ve been away for a week. She charges a good price for her work. She’ll happily look after my cat, feed her, cuddle her, brush her and play with her&nbsp;and give her her cat meds. It’s nice to have someone who’s available to look after her when I need to. She also happily cleans my house for me as I’m a bit older and can’t deep clean, she cleans my oven and hob before she leaves, vacuums, mops and cleans the bathroom which is very nice to come back to clean and tidy.&nbsp;She’s a nice person and very trustworthy. Collette G 12/03/24
Housesitting reference 2:
Hello, I have Madison come and house sit for my cat who has separation anxiety. She’s spent a lot of time with him, getting to know him so he’s comfortable&nbsp;with her. My cat Max knows when I go away, it’s every month for the weekend. With Madison he seems very comfortable which is comforting for me when I go away because I don’t want to stress about him, hoping he is okay.&nbsp;She spends a lot of time with him when she housesits so that he isn’t worried. If he becomes stressed about where I am he’ll meow and meow and run around the house wondering where I am. (This happened&nbsp;previously) it’s very nice to know that my cat is naturally happy around her and able to stay calm when I go away. She feeds him well, plays with him&nbsp;and brushes him daily and will give him cuddles to keep him happy. Glad to have her as my regular&nbsp;housesitter. Steve C 19/6/23
Housesitting reference 3:
Madison house sat and&nbsp;dog sat for me in August 2022 for a month while I was in Bali. She looked after my 2 bulldogs&nbsp;and sent me daily updates and videos of how they were doing.&nbsp;She would play with them, take them on a daily walk, feed them on time and occasionally give them a treat of peanut butter which they love.&nbsp;They seemed very calm and well behaved&nbsp;and was glad to have her looking after them. She left the house very tidy&nbsp;as well. Would happily have her look after them again.&nbsp;

Hello, I’m Bridie!
Are you looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter? Look no further! I’m an experienced animal lover with a lifelong connection to pets. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, mice, cows, sheep, and chickens, and I currently share my home with three wonderful cats.
I specialize in pet sitting for cats and dogs, with experience caring for breeds like Dobermans and Ragdoll cats. My goal is to ensure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Since my own cats prefer their space, I’ll come to you and be a respectful guest in your home.
As a student with a flexible schedule, I can accommodate your needs for dog walking, daytime care, or overnight stays. I’m happy to tailor my services to your pet’s routine to make their time without you as stress-free as possible.
Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss how I can help. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets!

Hi! My name is Jaspreet, i am a humble and funny person. For a few years now, I have been struggling mentally, and I love pets with all my heart, so animals have made me the most happiest i've been since High school. Even though I know it could be challenging, I am willing to take a step forward and do this! I do not have previous experience but i'm a quick learner and I am willing to even take a day trial with the owners watching over me. I could take pets into my home, only if my dad wasn't allergic. I'm usually available the whole day, but for house visits, I will be available in the mornings and afternoons. I can do 3-4 hours of home visits, which include watering your plants and bringing in your mail. I offer playing with pets and pet sitting/ being a friend they need when they're bored. I can house sit the whole day! I'd take security precautions like, locking the doors and windows; If it's night time, I'll keep the tv on for noise, I'll make sure to empty the mailbox and stay alert for unusual activities! 

Pet Sitting, Takanini
