About Katie

Hello fellow pet lovers,
We know first hand how hard it can be to find suitable accommodation for our furry family members... so let us help you make it easy. My husband and I and have 2 kids - one little human and one fur "baby". Our son is 8 years old and our dog Leo (golden retriever) is 9. We live in a spacious 2 story house with a garden. During the day I usually leave the patio door open (weather permitting), but we also have a doggy door so nobody needs to hold onto anything ;)
I, Katie, am a stay at home mom and therefore have sufficient time to properly care for your furry kids and ours. We are very outdoorsy and all of us love spending time with dogs of all breeds and ages. We usually take a walk around the neighbourhood in the morning and a more extensive one to the park (off leash - Caulfield park is not far) in the afternoon. The pets will only ever be alone for 3 hour stretches at the most.
Should you have specific requirements for your pet, please get in touch and I'm sure we'll be able to accommodate. We only host a max of 2 guest dogs at a time to ensure they get walked appropriately and get all the attention they need.
I have experience in administering antibiotics, ear and eye drops as well as skin ointment. However, inevitably your pet will need to be child friendly as our son spends a lot of time with them. There is no way around it, but equally he knows to respect them and there's never been a problem. Max loves their company, gives them extra cuddles and cooks pretend dinners for them ;)
We are more than happy to provide daily updates, photos and videos, if you wish. If you’re wondering why we are offering this service: Personally I hated putting Leo in a kennel and will always opt for another family to care for him while we are gone, so we are also frequently using pawshake sitters. I think it’s a win-win for everyone involved. Please get in touch and don't hesitate to ask any questions.

PS: As I also use other websites and private bookings, please note that my Pawshake calendar is not always up to date and I frequently book out 1-2 months in advance.

I highly recommend Katie. She looked after Archie with such care and kept me regularly updated. I don't leave him alone often, so it was a big thing leaving him with somebody that I could trust.
