Hey hi hello! We’re Libby & Gabe - an easy-going Kiwi couple who have been together for 7 years, including 2 years spent as full-time pet sitters across Auckland and wider New Zealand.

These days we’re settled into our own home in Auckland! While we no longer pet sit full-time, we still love having animal friends in our lives and helping out with walks, daycare, boarding, and shorter stay house-sits (while trying very hard not to adopt every pet we meet 😅)

We haven't been using Pawshake until recently but you’ll find screenshots of reviews and references from our previous pet sitting adventures in our gallery.

Libby works in communications for a not-for-profit organisation and has flexible hours, including the ability to work from home (and a dog friendly office if your pet is well behaved enough to join her). Gabe is a qualified electrician managing major projects across Auckland.

We know trusting someone with your pets is a big deal, so our goal is to make the experience feel easy, relaxed, and completely stress-free - for both you and your furry family members.

🐾Our experience includes:
• Dogs, cats, and even a few feathered and finned friends
• All sizes, breeds, ages, and high-energy personalities
• Special diets, feeding routines, and administering medication
• Young pets that need extra patience, play, and attention
• Tailoring care to your pet’s personality - whether they’re a cuddly shadow or prefer their own space

We’re active people who love walking, getting outdoors, and exploring, so if your dog enjoys adventures, they’ll have two enthusiastic new friends. Equally, we’re happy to provide a calm, cosy environment for pets who simply want companionship and a familiar routine.

We’re reliable, tidy, and great communicators, and we’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. Between the two of us, we can also be flexible if travel plans change unexpectedly or you need a little extra support.

If it sounds like we’d be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you and meet your pets! :)
