Hello There, I am a reliable 43 year old female who has been working in an art gallery previously. I grew up in New Zealand with dogs, a cat, guinea pigs, a rabbit and even a sheep(!) For the last 5 years, I have been the humble owner of 13 fish and a shrimp population that is growing at an unprecedented rate! I long for my own furry pet but it is not quite the right time for me. I have had experience with a menagerie of pets with over 2 years fulltime housesitting while I saved to go overseas- you can see some of my favs in the pictures* Now I am getting into starting my own business and thought this was a good time to marry my love of animals with the time to offer vast cuddles and local jaunting! I did several long-term sits and was invited back on several occasions over the years. I have had various medical, physical and social needs with different pets- both large and small and would love to hear about all the little quirks so I can have the best time with your loved ones. A bit about my services: I am able to provide dog walking, play and basic grooming. I offer 3 walks per day, and they would range from 40 mins/1 hr, depending on the pet's needs. I can care for 1-3 pets in my home at a time and I am currently flexible with my availability as I am working from home so I am able to offer ft care aside from leaving for errands etc. I am in an apartment with small fenced outside areas, and my house is situated close to play areas and spots for toilet breaks. Pets would be sleeping inside with access to a small courtyard. I'm a bit of an introvert and spend time doing yoga, reading and working in my home studio. I am able to provide personal references and testimonals while im starting out on Pawshake! Looking primarily in and around the Northcote area as I am moving by cycling only. I look forward to nourishing your loved ones!
