"This is our 2nd time using Candice to visit and walk our little staffy while we were unable to be home with her during the day. Candice is very reliable with great communication and we come home to a tired happy dog. "

"I could tell from when I first met Sarah that she had a great way with animals winning them over instantly. Sarah looked after our two cats while we were away on holiday. She popped in the days we had booked to spend time with them, fed them and keep litter box refreshed. She would send photo updates for us on the days she visited. Such great peace of mind to know they were being very well cared for. We’ll definitely have Sarah care for our cats again as well book her for some dog walking and house sitting in the future. Use of the app makes this a very easy service to use!"

"I booked Kailin for daily home visits with my 14-year-old cat, Mumu, from the end of March through most of April 2025—and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the moment Kailin and her lovely mum, Omea, came for the meet and greet, I knew Mumu would be in safe and loving hands. What really stood out to me is Kailin’s genuine passion for animals—she plans to pursue further pet studies after school, and her dedication truly shines through. While I was busy attending a course, I had complete peace of mind knowing Mumu was being well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout. I received photos and detailed updates after every visit, which I really appreciated. Kailin followed my requests perfectly—cleaning Mumu’s litter box and making sure she had some playtime and attention at each visit. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and enthusiastic to care for your cat while you're away, I highly recommend Kailin. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much, Kailin and Omea! "

Why pet sitting ?

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 Tauranga that can help?”.

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

Pet owners book pet sitting in Tauranga on Pawshake. Over 734 pet owners in Tauranga have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
