About Hazel

🐾 Hiya! I provide every service including: boarding, daycare*, walking, home visits and house sitting for all pets! Full time and flexible: I am home nearly 24/7 apart from medical appointments, and occasional outings which are of course scheduled when I don't have anything on!

I love all absolutely animals, from pocket pets to farm familiars! I have experience with all domesticated animals such as rodents, birds, lizards, cats, dogs, horses and other farm animals! Slim and small to wide and tall :D 

  • December-January booking out quickly already! Small-Medium sized sociable dogs being considered only at the moment, as it will be so busy 🐾☺️ Thank you for understanding!
  • Comfort is my utmost priority! My goal is to keep yourself, your family, and your dear companions as comfortable as I can

    • My home will be made to be as close to and familiar as what your dearest companion/s are used to.
      Whatever they usually do on a daily basis, they are more than welcome to do here! Whether that's chilling out on the couch with me, or sleeping in the bed, whatever brings them the most comfort is my utmost priority. This includes how often they go for walks, and how long for of course! Updates are provided as frequently as requested 
    • I am extremely familiar with anxious pets, and pets with medical conditions that require medicine or other forms of support. In saying this, if your pet prefers or requires to be alone from other pets, please book in advance and let me know! So I can close off all further bookings during their time spent here.
      My home has been tailored to be as accessible as possible for old, blind, deaf and otherwise impaired pet friendly! Such as carpeting the few back steps into the yard for extra grip and no slips :)
    • I have been booking out pretty fast! Trying to find a work-life balance at the moment while i have so many different pups coming in and out, mingling together with full-on Daycare and Boarding bookings; i'm so sorry for any inconveniences in the meantime! thank you all for the encouragement ☺️ I truly wish I could look after more 🐶🐱

      - - - Background - - -

      Growing up... I have owned all sorts of small animals with my father, whom my brother and I can confidently say he loves animals more than his own two kids! We had guineapigs, cockatiels, a cockatoo, budgerigars, mice, and would often take care of other small animals as often as we could.
      There were no room for bigger animals but my neighbours frequently trusted me to look after, play with and feed their SIX cats! We also lived nearby goats, and befriended the local wildlife such as magpies, blue tongue lizards, and an echidna at one point! I also rescued a couple of chickens and did the best I could until they unfortunately passed away due to pre-existing illness. 

      I have owned and rescued rats "full time" from 2016 to 2023, and looked after SO MANY small animals my entire life, and in 2020 finally got to rescue my very own kitty!

      For the larger animals, I currently own 2 cats! They are familiar with, and get along excellently with all animals of all sizes, usually preferring to keep their distance at first. They (and all other pets) can also be separated as my home has a dividing slider door that can keep them separated without putting restriction on any animal within the house, in case your pet may be uneasy around them.

      Since a young age, I have been often the (very lucky) person chosen to happily look after my friends' dogs (and cats, rodents, reptiles, birds), any day, any time as the joy that animals bring me is more than enough to ever ask anything more of. I had looked after malteses, staffies, a border collie who I would frequently walk as often as I could to help out and play with until exhaustion! 

      Even now I still regularly look after two pugs on weekends whenever the owner is away for work trips! whom I will happily stay with to keep them company, make sure the elder pug is healthy, medicated, comfortable and safe :) 

      Since starting my journey on Pawshake, I have now looked after so many more breeds from Toy Poodles, Dachsunds, Tibetan Spaniels, to Maremmas, Swiss and German Sheperds, American Bulldogs, Mastiff varieties and more!

      - - - More Info! - - - 

      During Bookings... I am more than happy to provide updates as frequent as requested, and I love to take pictures of the lovely animal friends I meet along the way to show off to friends and family!
      I like to take notes to make sure I have everything correct and just right for you and your beloved. 

      I love and care for all animals of every shape, size and behaviour/personality - I'd love to just do my best for you, and help out in any way, shape, or form that I can, as long as I am treated with the same kindness and respect as I give to every person and creature I have the honour of meeting. :D

      I only travel via public transport and bike (or uber when necessary!) as I cannot drive.
      For emergencies though, my older brother lives just down the road from me and is always more than ready to take us to the vet.
      We also have a clinic just down the road from me, where I go to regularly, and trust with my own!

      About me more personally... I have studied a Diploma in Youth work. I love to play video games and help whoever I can in my spare time, and so I spend any off-time running a 400 member Guild on World of Warcraft and Discord, striving to create the most welcoming safe space for all people, of all playstyles and skill levels to just relax, laugh together and be able to distract from the world at times. These people are aged from 20's to over 60! They love more than anything seeing the animal friends I meet any time I can show them off. I am easy to keep myself entertained, and I'm happy to just hang out with your pets for house sitting! 

      I also tend to ramble a lot, especially in text as I try not to miss anything or portray anything incorrectly! I try to be as transparent as possible at all times.
      So, sorry that this is long, and potentially a bit full-on! but also...

      Thank you so much for taking your time to consider trusting me with your beloved companion/s, and I hope that I can be of help as a much as I can being a newbie at doing this for people I have yet to meet ^^ 🐾

      - - - *Doggy Daycare Disclaimer: (Long-term consistent commitments)
      I don't think that I am a suitable option for permanent or long-term, consistent, Doggy Daycare (longer than a few weeks, or more at a time), as I take on so many different dogs of all sizes and behaviours including very anxious pups that require to be looked after alone; I also occasionally need to leave home for varying durations for house sits as all of my bookings are first enquiry, first serve! Therefore, I cannot be as consistent or reliable as other better suited sitters.

      I also have become aware that my prices are a little on the lower side in comparisons to other sitters available, and would love to leave these spots open for those more spontaneious and sporadic bookings!

      I am happy to provide all short term daycare as I have been doing,
      I'm also happy being somebody to go to until a long-term sitter is found, or as a backup option! 

      thank you again for understanding, and taking the time to view my profile!
