Hi,
I'm Narelle and I love dogs and the joy they bring to our lives. I have 28 years experience in raising 4 German Shepherds, with our last two growing up together. As a teenager I had a Corgi and Cattle Dog.
Since losing my last German Shepherds from age related illnesses, I started minding friends and neighbours dogs as I enjoy caring for, and walking dogs. I also wanted some flexibility to be able to travel. I joined Pawshake in 2016, and I have minded a range of dogs, including large, medium and small breeds such as
Greyhounds,German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, Groddles, Cavoodles, Staffies, Matlese and Shitzus.I enjoy being at home & do occasional contract work from home.
I only take one client's dog(s) at a time and my philosophy is to "provide a home away from home" for your dog(s) as I understand that for you to enjoy your time away, you want your dog(s) to be in a comfortable, safe and happy environment.
I can provide exclusive attention, care and love in my home to feed, walk and provide companionship for your treasured dog(s). I can provide 2 walks a day, in the morning and afternoon, a shorter and longer walk depending on weather, age and needs. I am experienced with a range of ages from 1+ years of age to more mature aged dogs.
Your dog will have inside and outside access, including a spacious front and back yard, as well as an extensive undercover roofed outdoor area and garage for additional protection from weather when outside. Most dogs I mind sleep inside or, if preferred in the garage or the outside undercover area.
My home is in a quiet neighbourhood, fully fenced and secure, with good walking areas and small parks nearby. Your dog(s) needs to be able to be left on it's own for a few hours on some days when I go out, for eg. to the gym, shopping or other activities. When I mind your dog I plan to be mostly at home. Your dog needs to be washed please, toilet/ housetrained, desexed and fully vaccinated for home stays.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Thankyou again Narelle for taking great care and pleasure looking after Haku. I think he had a wonderful time staying with You. Thanks for all the photos and updates during his stay it was very reassuring and nice to see him enjoying your company. I would recommend your service and professionalism to anyone considering lodging their dog with you. It was lovely to meet you and we will definitely book with you again next time we visit Gold Coast again. You are more than welcome to use any photos of Haku and You to update your profile pics. Many thanks again, David Brennan
Narelle was absolutely AMAZING, such a lovely person who looked after my dog Zeus a German Shepard who doesn’t like other dogs.
We were very worried about finding someone who was willing look after a large dog by himself and give him the one on one attention he needs.
We were sent updates everyday which everyone loved especially the kids and it put our minds at easy that he was not stressed and he was happy, he was treated so good we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home.
I couldn’t recommend Narelle enough she is amazing 🙏😁😍🤩💕
