About cat sitting in Auckland

Auckland is the biggest pet-sitting market in New Zealand by a wide margin. Bookings cluster around the central isthmus (Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mt Eden) and the Eastern Bays (Mission Bay, St Heliers), where long work commutes and apartment living drive demand for weekday walks and daycare.

December through late January is the Christmas and summer peak. Auckland owners book 6-8 weeks ahead. The other reliable spike is around Easter and the late-September school holidays.
