I love caring for all animals. I have 2 cats of my own-- Cookie and Vanta-- which means I can't do overnight pet sitting or doggy day care at my house. I have extensive experience pet sitting and dog walking, including repeat clients here in Melbourne and caring for my parents' 3 rowdy dogs (2 goldens and a border collie mix). I have been around cats and dogs since I was very young. I take a gentle, laid back approach with all my animals. I let them tell me how much they want to interact and what they want to do. Pet Sitting Home Visits: I would love to visit your home for feeding and watering, litter box cleaning, and playtime. I can also administer medications, including "pilling" cats, but I will want to discuss that with you first. I will send you pics of each visit! Dog Walking: For safety reasons, I only walk single dogs or 'sibling' dogs together. When I take your dog(s) out, please trust that they won't be tangled up in their leads with 5 other dogs. I have experience walking all sizes and breeds. I've spent a lot of time with a dog with leash anxiety, so I know how to handle dogs that can have difficult moments on walks. Please feel free to reach out and make a booking! Side note-- Horses : I have over 20 years' experience working with horses, and can provide very basic short term care: feeding, basic grooming, turnout, assesing for medical emergencies. This is not a service covered on Pawshake, but reach out and we can discuss arrangements.
