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 Wellington that can help?”.

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

Hey there!
I'm a lifelong dog lover and carer, having grown up with Dogue de Bordeaux so I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers slow walks and lots of cuddles, I adapt easily to their needs and always treat them like part of the family.
I offer dog walking, and home visits within the Wellington CBD area and I’m more than happy to help with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, or those needing medication—as long as I’m given instructions, you can trust they’re in safe hands.
UPDATE: Currently do not have my own vehicle so only able to train/bus - please add-on extra travel expense. If you are located in Wellington CBD then this will be free. Please feel free to message me!
- Home visits: I can stay with pets for 30mins in the home and I am able to water plants and bring in mail if needed.
- Dog walking: I can offer up to 1 hour walks and have good fitness level to take them to preffered trails if needed.
- House sitting: I am able to stay up to 2 hours when sitting. I will ensure safe security measures are in place i.e. spare keys in lockboxes, making sure windows/doors are all closed, taking photos of pets/environment and sending to owners if needed/wanted, sending texts/call upon arrival/exit.
I can offer a FREE call/meet up for your reassurance that I am the right fit for your pet and will take all instructions for your pet and home safety!
I have experience through other sites caring for dogs, cats, and homes.
What I love most is the simple joy of being around pets as I currently cannot have my own in the apartment that I live in. I’ll always give them my full attention and make sure you get regular updates, so you can feel totally at ease while I'm caring for them.
Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!


Thank you for checking my profile! I love dogs and I have the experience of walking different breeds and different sizes of dogs. Therefore, I will make sure your baby will be happy while you are away.
I am an active volunteer at SPCA Wellington. Previously, I volunteered at the Tampa Bay Humane Society and Harbor Humane Society as a dog companion. I have also worked as a dog walker and house sitter while I was living in Tampa, Florida. A few months ago, I completed the Care for Dogs certification through the SPCA, so I have the required knowledge to look after your furry friend.
I will be able to do dog walking and house visits for dogs in the Wellington central area for small to medium sized dogs. I will not be able to provide dog boarding or day care services as I'm currently renting and I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment. I will not be able to look after cats as I'm allergic to them.
Dog walks - The walks will be in the Wellington central area. I usually like to take the dogs to Oriental bay area as they can enjoy nice sun and fresh air while socialising with other dogs and humans. The walks will be 30 - 60 mins long.
House visits - I will be able to stop by at your house, socialise and feed your dog and maybe water your plants. The house visits will be 60 mins long. I will ensure your home is secured based on the instructions provided by you prior to leaving.
I work full-time during business hours as a Data Analyst in the public sector. Therefore, I'll be only available during the weekends and public holidays - afternoons and evenings only.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out prior to booking.

Kia ora, I am a student looking for pet sitting jobs over the holidays, I am tidy, reliable and love all animals. I am currentry studying animal science at Massey university in Palmerston North and have grown up around border collies so am well equipped for dealing with high energy and boisterous animals. I have also volunteered for SPCA for a year so have also gained experience around sick and injured animals that are often reactive or scared. I understand the stress of leaving animals at home so I will ensure they receive the best care when in my care. I am an active and patient person and would love to spend time with any animal, whether it is a shy cat, a high energy dog or a senior dog who requires a gentle walk around the block. I am available in the Northern suburbs only between Khandallah and Kaori, preferably around the Wadestown area.&nbsp;
Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you,Amy


I am a mental health support worker by profession. Currently working part-time due to a shoulder injury I sustained earlier this year. I, unfortunately, cannot return to work fulltime in the near future so decided to chase my next best dream - fur babies .&nbsp;I have a beautiful 8 month old female rottie and I trained her myself. She is my ride or die. So I am capable to look after yours. I grew up with dogs and cats and now having one of my own makes me proud but one is never enough haha, so I will be more than grateful to walk, play or sit your fur babies while you work or vacation. I will be your pet's second best friend . My dog (Akira) loves other dogs (big/small/puppies), kids and people. If you want play mates for your fur babies she will be happy to join. I enjoy long walks/hikes if you fur babies need to burn some energy. I also, always have treats on me if your babies are allowed to have some and are food motivated.&nbsp;I am free from 10.30am-5pm most days. I can administer medication and feed your pets. Walks will generally be an hour long but can be extended on owners request. I could walk your dogs around the blocks or take them to close by parks. I currently don't have a car so I cannot drive your pets around.&nbsp;

Hi!
I'm Emma. I'm an Antarctic earth scientist and love all things outdoors, animals and the ocean. I had several pets growing up including chickens, cats and sheep and was often put in charge of looking after them. My partner Ethan, is a software engineer and is lucky enough to have grown up with several cats and dogs.&nbsp;
While we would love to get pets of our own, we unfortunately live in a rental that is not pet friendly, so we would love to look after your pets as if they were our own! Due to not having pets for a long time, there is plenty of extra love to go round!
Ethan and I have done various house/pet sitting gigs for colleagues and friends and loved it immensely. We love to get outside and walk with doggos and cuddle inside with cats. As quick learners we hope to adapt to your pets specific needs and provide a wonderful pet sitting experience for everyone involved.
While Emma works in a lab and has to keep regular hours, Ethan has an office job where he can easily work from home if there are pets that require care throughout the day. We can offer both long and short term pet sitting - and would love to hear from you!
