Top cities for pet sitting in New Zealand

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.

Hello! I'm Dan - an enthusiastic and caring dog lover with years of experience with various breeds - small, medium, and large breeds. I've grown up with dogs all my life and until recently I had a gorgeous and very active staffy cross who was rescued from the SPCA, so I'm missing my daily dose of dog snuggles, park plays and long walks. I love the outdoors, even more so when I'm out exploring with a four legged companion. My favourite walks are our along our beautiful coastal paths and beaches, where we can enjoy a refreshing walk and a change of scenery. Otherwise a forest walk or dog park is always fun! 
I'm responsible, reliable, and committed to giving your dog the best possible care, treating them with the same love and attention I would my own. 
Please feel free to get in touch - I'd love to meet your furry family member! 🦮

I'm Anna! I am a HUGE animal lover and love caring for pets! I petsat for 8 years in the states, and hoping to continue the job I love as I have relocated to New Zealand. I graduated from university in 2023, with a degree in wildlife conservation. I love to travel and see new places, but am planning on living in NZ for the forseeable future. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, including reactive dogs. I have experiene giving medication to pets, orally and injections. One of my favourite activities is snuggling with animals and spending quality time with them. I also really enjoy going on walks or runs! I am not able to accomodate animals staying at my house currently, but I am more than happy to stay at your home with your pets. I work in office Monday - Thursday, but am available anytime before/after and weekends. I hope you consider me as your new go-to petsitter!&nbsp;

Hey there,
my name is Maria,  I'm 25 years old and and currently inbetween jobs. I'm from Germany and moved to New Zealand in October 2023. Unfortunately I had to leave my French Bulldog 'Bobby' behind, which I miss a lot. I love to go on long beach walks and be out in fresh air regardless which weather.
I grew up with gentle giants (bullmastiff and rottweiler) and know how to handle stubborn dwarfs (such as Bobby, my Frenchie).
Back in Germany I used to take puppies from older ladies and gentlemen, who were not confident enough to walk their dogs themselves, on long walks through the fields, dog-sit on several occasions when the original owners were on holidays or in hospital and attend weddings to watch the family dog during the ceremony and festivities.&nbsp;
I am currently living in the Mount with my partner James in a house too small to host furry visitors and am only able offer walks and home visits
I'm a very patient and active person with a big heart and lots of love to give. I don't look for a job that pays the bills, but simply for someone to join me on my walks.



Responsible, young, caring and motivated father of 2 beautiful young girls looking to expand and grow my experience with pet sitting, dog walking and any other family pets that need to be cared for while your family takes a break and enjoys holidays away from home.&nbsp;I am a 29 year old male in a stable relationship with my partner, I am a father and loving dad of my daughters so I am mature, responsible and respectful. I have shared custody so I'm looking to fulfill my spare nights and weekends with pet sitting and dog walking. I am fit, healthy and happy to take your dogs out for long walks/runs to keep them healthy and happy.&nbsp;I am a lover of bulldogs, especially English Bulldogs but I love all breeds of pups and am happy to care for any pups in need of care to keep them happy and cared for whilst you and your family are away on holidays away from home. My long term flatmate of 2 years has a lovely cat which I look after when she is away on weekend trips etc. Unfortunately due to our renting situation i am unable to get my dream bully (Barry the Bulldog) but hoping in the future I will be able to get him when I've purchased my first home towards the end of next year.&nbsp;I have a modern reliable car for any transport needs and a full license. I'm in full time employment working as a team leader doing engineering/heavy Fabrication for Domett Truck and Trailers, and I am also working towards completing my apprenticeship in heavy Fabrication currently. I'm a pretty practical person so usually can solve any issues that may happen arise.&nbsp;

Hello, I love animals and I have experience dog sitting for different types of breeds. I am an active person that enjoys the gym, playing different sports and being outdoors. I have always enjoyed nature, I have a Biology degree, and all sorts of animals (fish, cats, birds, you name it). Because of my active nature, I enjoy taking the pets out for walks in the beach or dog friendly areas. 
I have been doing pet sitting for friends on a casual basis. As of 2025 I became a proud dog dad to Gizmo, a little rescue and most of my time is spent with him. I have experience staying with a pet for a weekend or a month, flexible with time. 
Always keen to accommodate for special needs for diverse animals.
If you have any specific questions please reach out. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

I am Sarai I have just moved to the mount and would love to take your little bff for walks to the beach parks and look after them. I am a very loving responsible active person who grew up around lots of pets since I was a baby and have had lots of furry friends ever since! I lived in papamoa beach for a bit where I looked after our flat dog khaleesi through her surgeries and before and after she got better and we were allowed to run around and go to cafes for treats!
I have lots of experience taking care of my dogs / cats as well as friends safely bringing them home from fun beach walks and I'm looking to get more experience as I'm wanting to go back to New York and do dog walking there as well! 

I loved moving to the mount (near the ocean and next to the park) and have decided to stay here for a little longer and get to know the area better and would love to meet you and help you out with your pets in the meantime! 
I do live right next to the park so if you leave your little friend with me we will have a lot of fun playing in the park as there's usually other friends that come play there! We have a fully fenced backyard where we will be safe and able to play also :) 


Kia Ora!&nbsp;I’m Emma, a local based in Tauranga, and I am seeking house and pet sitting opportunities in the area. I am reliable and trustworthy, bringing genuine care to looking after your home and pets.
Having grown up with cats, dogs, and chickens, I’m passionate about animals and excited to share that love with you. I have experience caring for a wide range of pets—cats, dogs, chickens, frogs, and more. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, administering basic routines, or playtime, I am dedicated to meeting all your animal’s needs and keeping their routines consistent.
I understand that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comforts, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe and relaxed. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of your home, treating it as if it were my own.
In addition to pet care, I can assist with basic home maintenance tasks such as watering plants, collecting mail, managing bins, and ensuring your home remains secure and lived-in while you’re away. I know leaving your pets can be stressful, so I aim to provide regular updates and peace of mind. Let’s keep your furry (or scaly) family members happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 

Hi, I’m Jhone!
I’ve always loved animals and have gained valuable experience training my own dogs with the guidance of professional trainers. This hands-on experience has taught me how to handle different behaviours, understand their needs, and provide positive, enriching care for pets.
I’m also deeply committed to animal welfare. I’ve volunteered regularly at the SPCA and local animal shelters, helping care for animals in need. Additionally, I donate food and handmade pet beds I’ve created from repurposed fabrics, combining my love for animals with sustainability.
For your pets, I offer more than just care—I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Dogs will enjoy engaging and stimulating walks tailored to their energy levels and personality, while also benefiting from reinforced good behaviour. My goal is to keep your pet physically active, mentally stimulated, and emotionally secure.
As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate your needs, whether it’s daily walks, one-off visits, or last-minute bookings. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Let me help make life easier for you and happier for your pets—let’s work together to ensure they thrive!


I am an experienced dog mum living in Tauranga who is available to provide walks, playtime, care and attention to local dogs who need it whilst their owners are away or busy with day to day life. 
I own two dogs myself, a lab x huntaway (2 years old) and a lab x border collie (4 years old), which my husband and I walk twice daily. I'd love to help other owners who need assistance and get their furry friends out and about when possible, or pop round to show them some love and attention when needed. 
I am based in Tauranga and looking forward to supporting dogs and their owners from around the area. I thought I would give dog sitting/walking a go as I currently do it daily with our own dogs, so why not help our community in a space I am confident and experienced in whilst I have the spare time to do so.
