Hi there! With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that while every pup has a unique personality, the love they bring into our lives is universal. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with Pomeranians, Cocker Spaniels, Labradors, Dachshunds, Beagles, and most recently, my beloved Cockapoo. Why I Host I decided to offer pet sitting because I’ve been in your shoes. I know the feeling of needing someone trustworthy to watch your fur-baby. When I traveled, I found a sitter who provided frequent updates and asked all the right questions, which gave me total peace of mind. That is exactly the level of care and communication you can expect from me. Our Home & Family We are a dog-loving family of four! My wife works from home 90% of the time, and our two children (ages 13 and 10) are very gentle and enthusiastic around pets. We also have a 4 year-old spayed Cockapoo named Candy; she is sweet, a bit lazy, and loves making new friends. Your pet will have constant human and animal companionship! What We Offer • Safety & Space: We have a secure, spacious backyard for playtime. • Active Days: I take our guests for three walks a day to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. • Personalized Attention: Because we are a family home, your dog becomes part of our family during their stay. Our Preferences To ensure the best environment for our family and our own dog, we have a few specific requirements: • Size: We exclusively host small or miniature dogs (under 25 lbs / 12 kgs). • Coat Type: We can only accept hypo-allergenic breeds. • Diet: As a vegetarian household, we can only accommodate dogs on a kibble-only diet. We are unable to handle raw meat or wet food. I’m happy to chat more and answer any questions you might have. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pawshake do not set any drop off/pick up times, you will need to confirm this with the us on the booking. However, overnight services such as pet boarding are charged per 24 hours. So if a dog is dropped off at 8:00am one day and collected at 8:00am the next day, this is considered one night. If the dog is dropped off at 08:00am one day and not collected until say 8:00pm the next day, it would be fair for the pet sitter to ask the owner to make a separate booking for doggy daycare in addition to the one for pet boarding.
