Susie

I grew up with dogs; over the years a boxer, a border collie x scotch collie and a Doberman x German Shepard. They were an integral part of my childhood.

I had always considered myself a dog person until a few years ago when I spent a year interstate. There was a grumpy cat, Chief, where I lived, and neither of us were particularly interested in the other. Somehow over my time there we slowly and utterly won each other over.

I am now totally into cats as well as dogs. Rescue siblings Erik and Astrid joined my family nearly two years ago and I can't imagine home without them.

Whenever I go away for a few days I have much preferred they stay at home in a familiar environment, with each other, and with all their toys and boxes, so I have loved being able to have someone visit each day to sort out food, water and litter, and also be some company for them. Being able to do the same for others is my motivation for signing up to Pawshake.

I've not previously worked as a petsitter, but have had a friend's cat stay with me while they were away (just prior to getting mine), and have also been in charge of feeding and walking (where applicable) and hanging out with both cats and dogs for friends and family over the years.

I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so on those days I don't have lots of time, but on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday I can definitely hang out with your little one for extended periods. I'm happy to bring a book and chill with your pet/s, or play with toys with them to keep them engaged and help exert some energy.
