Hi,

Je parle aussi le français. 

Can do house sitting around 15.04-29.04 only.

Please note that I have to go into my workplace a few times a week and so I cannot take pets for more than a few days at a time, so I cannot take full week bookings. Aside from that, bookings are flexible (the Pawshake calendar doesn't necessarily reflect my actual availability), so drop me a line to see how we can organise ourselves and your pet! 

I was a sitter with Pawshake from around 2016-2019 and looked after dogs, cats and rabbits during this time. I'm happy to do sitting at my home as well as going for walks. I'm used to handling dogs, so I can sneak in meds if necessary. I do not offer grooming (unless the pet gets extra mucky on a walk!). I had dogs at home as a kid, both small dogs (mini yorkies) and larger dogs (Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I also had a cockatiel at home for a few years.

As I live in an apartment, I can take small-medium dogs. I have a balcony. I can do dog walks in the morning, lunchtime and afternoon. After minding many dogs over the last year, I'm used to making them feel comfortable quickly. Your pet will get lots of attention, if they want this. I let the dogs set the level of attention they want. 

I don't have a car so you will have to drop off and pick up your pet.

I will send photos, keep in contact with you, feed and water the pet, toilet duties, basic meds, and basic hygiene.

If your pet is staying with me, I guarantee the pet will not be alone for more than 3 hours, has space to move around in, secure, warm and cool spots, safe, will be played with and will get regular and sufficient walks (depending on size and fitness; up to three walks per day), as agreed with you. I will only board one dog at a time, unless they are 'siblings'. Pets can sleep in the sitting room.

For day care, same thing.

I look forward to meeting you and your gorgeous pets!

Caroline
