Dog sitters in New Zealand - FAQs
Make no doubt about it, finding reliable pet care for your canine pal can be pricey - but it doesn't have to be. While dog sitters in New Zealand could easily set you back $60.00 per night, on TrustedHousesitters, it won’t cost you a cent. Your annual membership includes unlimited house and pet sitting stays for a whole year - that’s all your pets, all your vacations, all taken care of.
With thousands of pet sitters around the world, we’re certain we’ll be able to match you to a great dog sitter in New Zealand. And, even if we don’t have a dog sitter in New Zealand, the good news is our sitters love to visit new places and house sit away from home.
We sure think so! Dogs are happier in the comforts of home, in their regular routine - and that’s exactly where they’ll stay when you find them a trusted house sitter. Even vets agree that in-home boarding is the best alternative to dog boarding in New Zealand and beyond.
