About house 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house sitter cost in Auckland?
Overnight house sitting in Auckland runs NZ$70-NZ$110 per night (GST inclusive), depending on the number of pets, the length of the stay, and any plant or mail tasks.
Does the sitter live in my home full-time?
Yes. Your sitter sleeps at your place, follows your pet's normal routine, and short outings are agreed in advance. Most house-sits include feeding, walks, play, and a daily update.
What if my place has a smart lock or alarm?
Walk the sitter through it at the meet and greet. Plenty of Kiwi owners use smart locks and basic keypad alarms; sitters keep codes confidential.
Can the sitter water plants and collect mail?
Yes. Add any household tasks to your booking notes. House sitters typically water plants, collect post, and rotate lights so the home looks lived-in.
Are house sitters in Auckland vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to NZ$36,000+ in vet cover at no extra cost.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed stay.
