About house sitting in Wellington

Wellington runs on policy and tech jobs, and bookings track parliamentary sitting weeks more than school holidays. Recurring midday walks are the bread and butter; house-sits spike when ministers and staffers travel back to their electorates.

The Town Belt, the Botanic Gardens, and the South Coast give walkers an unusually good set of off-lead options for a capital city.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house sitter cost in Wellington?
Overnight house sitting in Wellington 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 Wellington 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.
