Auckland pet and house sitters: your questions
Practical questions about pet and house sitters in Auckland, provider coverage and sending an enquiry through Aroha.
Aroha is a directory and enquiry service. Individual providers confirm their own coverage, scope, availability and booking terms.
Which areas does this directory cover?
This directory focuses on Auckland. Individual providers have different service areas, so confirm your suburb and any travel charge before booking. For other cities, explore the shared Aroha directory.
Which services can I compare here?
Compare cat visits, dog care and overnight pet or house sitting. Each listing describes the services that provider publishes; agree the exact routine and time at home before booking.
Does Aroha carry out the services or confirm bookings?
Aroha helps you compare published provider information and send an enquiry. The chosen provider must confirm the work, dates, price and booking terms; submitting this form is not a booking.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
After your request is saved, the screen shows a reference number. We will review your request and get back to you within one business day. Keep your reference for follow-up.
Where can I find other cities or home services?
The shared Aroha directory lists pet and house sitting, pool care, heat-pump care and exterior house washing across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Choose a city and service to open the relevant site.
Should I choose pet visits or overnight house sitting?
Visits provide agreed periods of care; overnight sitting includes a stay at your home. Choose around your pet's routine, exercise and company needs, and agree how long the sitter may be away during the day.

Should I meet the sitter before booking?
Arrange an introduction to discuss your pet's routine and see whether the sitter is a suitable match. Agree care instructions, updates and backup arrangements privately before handing over keys.

What should I confirm for Christmas and New Year pet care?
Give your exact dates and ask about minimum stays, public-holiday charges, cancellation terms and backup cover. A directory listing or enquiry does not reserve a sitter.

Do Auckland sitters all cover the same suburbs?
No. Some providers organise coverage by district or branch. Start with your suburb and dates, then confirm the route, travel charges and type of care with your chosen provider.
