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.

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;

Thank you

Hi fur baby's daddy and mummy, my name is Vivian, and I am a Malaysian Chinese, I am able to speak with multiple languages included English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay.
I love dogs from my young age. When it comes to caring for dogs, I am well-versed in looking after small to medium-sized breeds. I also aspire to develop the capability to care for larger breeds, and I have confidence in my ability to do so.
I have had the pleasure of raising four dogs in my life, including two brown Pomeranians, a standard white Poodle, and a brown Chihuahua.
️Welcome your baby to boarding at my house️
1. Meet and greets are very important to us. Before boarding, it is a must to schedule a meet and greet to ensure your babies feel comfortable and can adapt to our home environment.
2. Our home offers family-style dog boarding, hosting only one dog at a time during the boarding period, or up to two dogs if they already live together harmoniously.  
3. We don’t have any resident pets, so we can dedicate our full attention to caring for your beloved dog. ️️️ 
3. Owners must provide food, leashes, bedding ️, toys , pee pads , blankets , treats , etc., for the boarding period. 
4. What we provide: filtered water , a large bed , small toys , and a playpen . 
5. Walks: 2–3 times a day, or visits to markets and off-leash parks on weekends. ️🦮 
6. Feeding: Breakfast and dinner (we will follow your dog’s dietary habits).  
7. During the stay, we will provide basic care such as wiping paws, fur brushing, and general cleaning. 
8. 24/7 indoor CCTV monitoring, with frequent updates, including photos or videos, about your dog’s condition.  
9. All dogs must be vaccinated and dewormed prior to boarding.  
10. Do not include bathing or grooming services while boarding(basic bathing can be added for an extra fee).  

Hi My Name is Laura, I love all animals and have experience looking after cats, dogs, birds and rabbits. I am very comfortable around animals as i have always been around them growing up. I am confident with administering oral medication if your pet needs daily medication. I am a very active person so my sevices will include going on 1 walk or run a day for about 30mins - 1 hour around my area or public parks, so your dog would be very well exercised and looked after. I live in a quiet neighbourhood that any pet would feel comfortable and safe in and I currently have no pets in my home. I also only take on 1 pet at a time so you dont need to worry if pet doesnt get along with other animals. As i am home most weekends i will be available to give 24hr attention to your pet and only going out for short periods to run basic errands. Pets are allowed free range of the house so they are allowed to sleep where they are most comfortable and our yard is fully fenced with a nice grassed area for them to play outside. I am also available over the Christmas and New Years period and public holidays so please get in touch if you are needing someone to look after your fur baby. 
Thanks&nbsp;
Laura&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.

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, Dog boarding. 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;


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!

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. 

As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own back home, I understand just how important your pets are to you. I’m dedicated to making them feel loved and cared for while ensuring all your rules and routines are followed to the letter. Your furry friends will enjoy a safe, fun, and comforting environment, where they can thrive without missing a beat. Rest assured, their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 
One of the reasons why I want to take on petsitting is because I miss my dogs back home. It just feels really different to be able to interact with pets on a daily basis. They just really make your life much better and lighter.
I'm currently living in Pukekohe, Auckland. I have the means to travel to your home or bring your pet to our house for dog sitting. We take on any job (housesitting or even just dropping by to feed your pets!)
I have reasonable and budget-friendly rates that we can both agree on.

Hi yah!
My name is Sam and I love all things pets! we currently have one small dog, Pepper, and live out in Takanini. I recently have had a change in career which allows me to spend more time at home than I have previously, so looking to spend some more time with furry friends!&nbsp;
I have been brought up with dogs and pets my entire life, so have experience looking after all range of dogs and pets!
Growing up I had experience with Rotties all the way down to pugs!&nbsp;
Our home is small, however we do regular walks and adventures with our pup and will do the same with yours! We like to go around walks in the neighbourhood, in the Hunua Ranges and at the beach! Your pup will need to be fully vaccinated and house trained to stay with us!&nbsp;
Please reach out with a message if you have any further questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!&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. ‍

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!
