House sitting in Auckland, NZ

Thinking about house sitting in Auckland, NZ? You’re in just the right place, fellow pet lover. Here it’s simple to explore the bustling hub that is Auckland, and the best part? You’ll have a furry pal by your side at every stop. 

Yup, by connecting with pets and their humans, you can stay in and around Auckland’s two harbors, simply in exchange for pet TLC while their humans are away. 

Walkies with your new fluffy pals

House sitting in Auckland is certain of one thing - walkies. And it’s safe to say you’ll be in the perfect place for it - you can get some sightseeing in the bag on the way, too. 

Climb up to the obelisk at the top of One Tree Hill (a volcanic peak, no less) for panoramic city views, and explore Auckland Domain, a city park set in a dormant volcano crater. 

And if your furry friend is still raring for more, head to the Waitakere Ranges where you can hike in the rugged landscape of beaches, rainforests and waterfalls.

Dog-friendly Auckland

Nothing quite says local living like strolling to your nearby dog cafe with your furry friend leading the way. So why not check out the spots your new neighborhood boasts that’ll welcome (and let’s face it, already be on a first-name basis with) your new canine companion while you house sit in Auckland? 

For a harbor-side walkies pit stop, check out Homeland, or explore the city and take shelter in Ozone Coffee Roasters, Cornwall Park Cafe, Ripe Deli (and so many more).

A Rangitoto Island day trip

Just across the harbor, the tiny island of Rangitoto is a must for any house sitters in Auckland taking care of a feline friend.

Birthed by a volcanic eruption some 600 years ago, the 5.5km-wide island is ideal for visitors craving a short break from the city’s hustle and bustle.

For views of Auckland, follow the Rangitoto Summit Track through the lava fields, amongst the island’s native trees and shrubs.

And if an island day out doesn’t quite scratch all of those wanderlust itches, skip the ferry and hop on a kayak to get there and back. 

See the city sights 

New Zealand is rightly known for its iconic natural landmarks, but there's so much to see in the city center while you’re house sitting in Auckland. And unlike any hotel or hostel stay, you can live in local neighborhoods with a furry pal by your side, every (paw)step of the way.

While you’re in the area, head to the Sky Tower in the CBD, shop on Queen Street, get the buzz of the Harbour bars or check out a local art gallery.
