Why use a PSNZ Sitter?


When you choose a PSNZ pet sitter, you're supporting a dedicated Kiwi pet lover who is taking the necessary steps to be recognised as a professional in the pet care industry.
Our members are passionate about animals and committed to providing high-quality, ethical care. They’re not just house sitters—they are professional pet sitters who have considered the responsibilities and expectations of the role, including operating their pet care services to industry standards.
"A professional pet sitter, to us, is someone who is paid for their services, upholds a code of conduct, and continually seeks to improve their skills and knowledge in the field. They use service agreements, ensure their operations are transparent, and always prioritise the well-being of pets and owners, delivering care with integrity and professionalism."
With the PSNZ platform, pet sitters are equipped to grow their business, raise their profile, and ensure peace of mind for pets and their owners.

Have you ever used a Facebook Community Group for pet care? Well, that's where it all began for us! Back in 2016, a Cantabrian pet sitter, covered in paw prints and pet fur, started our community group as a way to connect and meet pet parents and other pet carers. Fast forward to 2024, and we’re a nationwide community of over 19,000! Our mission has grown hand-in-hand with our community: we support, uplift, and empower New Zealand's pet care professionals, enabling them to thrive and deliver exceptional care for Kiwi pets.
