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.

Hello! My name is Shreshaa. I'm a 2nd year university student. I’ve always loved spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for the pets of friends, family members, and neighbors, which sparked my passion for pet sitting. I find it incredibly rewarding to connect with pets and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.
I only welcome vaccinated pets. I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate care and look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Availability: I'm generally available anytime on weekdays and weekends. I'm happy to work with your schedule when possible!
 About My Services:
I offer: Dog walking, Home visits, House sitting. While I don't have experience in training, I’m more than happy to help with basic care (can do grooming if given the dogs care products) and lots of affection! I do not administer medication, unless it's something simple (like oral meds mixed with food), and only with clear instructions.
 Dog Walking: My dog walks are usually 30 minutes (can do longer if requested). I like to walk in safe, pet-friendly areas nearby, such as parks or quiet neighborhood streets.
 Home Visits: Each home visit lasts about 30 minutes (can do longer if requested). During visits, I’ll feed your pets, refresh their water, clean up after them, and of course — give them love and attention!
I’m also happy to water your plants, bring in the mail, and check that everything is secure or anything else.
 House Sitting: During house sits, I typically stay overnight and can remain at your home for as many hours as you request. I’m respectful of your space and won’t use any household equipment, including the kitchen, unless given permission. As a university student, I’ll mostly be doing schoolwork while keeping your pet company, so access to stable Wi-Fi is the only thing I ask for. I’ll ensure your home stays clean and secure — lights turned off, doors locked, and everything tidy — so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. &nbsp;


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.

Intro
Hi there! My name is Joanne (Jo), and I am a passionate dog lover with a special knack for taking care of our four-legged friends. Friends affectionately call me their "dog nanny" because of my dedication and love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a central part of my life. Dog sitting, boarding and walking allow me to combine my passion for dogs with my desire to make a positive impact on their lives and the lives of their owners. 
Experience
I have been taking care of dogs privately for many years, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I have two wonderful dogs of my own: a senior Labrador and a staffy x. My experience with these two has given me a deep understanding of the needs of both energetic young dogs and more senior pups who require a gentler touch.
Dog Walking: Whether your dog needs a quick walk around the block or a longer adventure, I'm here to provide the exercise they need to stay healthy and happy. My favourite dog walking spot is the Auckland Botanical Gardens.
Pet Boarding/ daycare : If you're away for the day or even a few hours, I can keep your dog company, ensuring they're fed, entertained, and well cared for.
Special Needs Care: With my experience caring for an elderly dog, I'm well-equipped to handle pets with special needs, administering medications and providing the extra attention they may require.
To ensure the safety and health of all the dogs in my care, I require that your dog be fully vaccinated, desexed and toilet trained. 

Hi! I’m Aneeqah, and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and individual needs, so I believe taking the time to get to know them is one of the most important parts of pet care.
While I don’t have professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for my own cat and have also looked after a friend’s cat while they were at work, including helping care for them while they were unwell. That experience taught me that every pet is different, which is why I always take the time to understand their routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements before every booking. I’m comfortable giving oral medication when clear instructions are provided and will always follow your care instructions carefully.
I offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, allowing your pet to stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. During my visits or stay, I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean litter trays or enclosures, spend quality time playing or simply keeping your pet company, and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also happy to bring in the mail, water indoor plants, and help keep your home tidy while you’re away.
For house sitting, I’ll stay overnight if that’s what you and your pet need and spend as much time as possible maintaining their normal routine. As a university student, my schedule can vary, but I’ll always discuss my availability with you before accepting a booking. If your pet needs extra company, I’m happy to work around my classes where possible, including studying from your home when appropriate. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I’ll contact you immediately and seek veterinary care if needed, following your instructions wherever possible.
I’m happy to care for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, reptiles, and other small animals. At this stage, I don’t offer dog care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates throughout your booking, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands. I know pets are family, and I’d be honoured to care for yours with the same kindness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own.

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!

I am a reliable, caring, and patient animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Becoming a pet sitter is something I am passionate about because I understand how important pets are as part of the family. I love building trust with both pets and their owners and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give to my own animals. I always used to feed and give shelter to stray animals when I lived overseas. I now have 3 rescue dogs from the shelter. I have previous experience caring for dogs and other pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and giving them companionship throughout the day. I am comfortable with different pet personalities, from energetic and playful pets to shy or older animals that need extra patience and gentle care. I understand the importance of routines and making sure pets feel calm and secure in their environment.
As a pet sitter, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and loving space where pets can feel relaxed and well cared for. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and supervision.
For the safety and wellbeing of all animals in my care, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. This helps maintain a healthy environment and ensures every pet is protected and comfortable during their stay.

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
