🐾 A loving home away from home for your dog 🐾 Hi, my name is Dana, and I live with my two boys, Levi (11) and David (4). We all absolutely love animals, especially dogs! ❤️ We live in a large gated community on a very large property with plenty of space for dogs to explore, play and enjoy themselves. The property is fully fenced with secure gates everywhere, so your dog can safely enjoy the outdoor space. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is in safe, caring and responsible hands when you are away. I am patient, gentle, reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether that means going for walks, playing outside, giving them lots of attention and affection, or simply keeping them company and helping them feel comfortable, I will make sure they feel loved and at home. 🐶 What I offer I can accommodate up to 2 small dogs at a time, which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention and care. Your dog's normal routine is very important to me, so I am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, sleeping arrangements and any special requirements. I provide 3 walks per day, with the length and style of the walks adjusted according to your dog's needs and your preferences. Some dogs love a long energetic walk, while others prefer something shorter and more relaxed. I am also happy to administer medication when required, following your instructions carefully. I can also wash/bathe your dog during their stay if requested. 🏡 Plenty of company and attention I am a stay-at-home mum, so I am home most of the day and can spend lots of time with your dog. I don't have to leave the house for work. If I do need to leave, it is generally only for a short supermarket trip or for pet pickup/drop-off, meaning your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. I am able to supervise guest pets throughout the day and overnight, and I am happy to comply with Pawshake's requirements regarding the maximum time pets can be left alone. 🛏️ A family environment There are no other pets in our home, so your dog will have plenty of attention from us. Guest dogs are welcome inside our home and can sleep inside with us. If you are comfortable with it, your dog is even welcome to sleep in our bed. ❤️ Of course, I am equally happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your dog is used to at home. We want every dog staying with us to feel like they are part of the family, rather than simply being left somewhere unfamiliar. ❤️ Your dog's happiness matters to me I know that leaving your beloved pet with someone you don't know can sometimes feel worrying. That's why communication is very important to me. I am very happy to keep you updated during your dog's stay and send you lots of photos and videos, so you can relax knowing that your dog is happy, safe and being well cared for. Every dog has their own personality, habits and routine, and I will take the time to get to know yours. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, happy and loving holiday of their own while you are away. Your dog will receive plenty of love, patience, attention and affection and will be treated as if they were one of our own. 🐾❤️
