Ciao! My name is Claudia, and I am an Italian who has been living in OZ for over ten years. Sydney is the place I call home, where I share a cozy apartment with my husband, Ren. Why do I want to be a dog sitter? Plain and simple: I love dogs. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been fascinated by these wonderful, furry creatures. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to own one as my family never caved in to my persistent pleas. Instead, I found solace in walking my best friend's dog, Leo, at every opportunity I got. There is just something so magical about spending time with these loyal animals- their unique personalities, quirky habits, and unwavering affection never fail to brighten up even the darkest of days.
As of now, my husband and I do not have a four-legged friend of our own. However, we have compensated for this by dog-sitting our friends' pets and occasionally volunteering at one of Sydney's dog shelters over the past few years. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience that has only fuelled my desire to be a dog sitter even more.
Both my husband and I have hybrid jobs, which allows us the flexibility to dog-sit throughout the week without any complications. Additionally, our apartment is surrounded by beautiful parks and green areas that are perfect for leisurely strolls and playtime. The neighbourhood is teeming with an abundance of friendly dogs, ensuring that your precious pup will always have great company.
It would be an absolute honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of caring for your beloved canine companion, and I promise to shower them with endless love and care.

Claudia has been a delight. She responded to my messages within a day - and that was important for me as this was my first time using Pawshake services. From the moment of first contact for meet ‘n greet, she exuded a friendly demeanour and knowledge of caring for pets and we instantly knew she was a great fit for our two-year old ACD. Claudia and her partner were very caring and sent us daily pictures of our dog with quick updates. We could tell he was spoiled and loved! Most importantly, upon our return home, our dog has been calm and chill - a huge sign he had no signs of separation anxiety and had been content while we were away. Thank you Claudia!
Claudia and Ren are wonderful people and they are great with animals and people we've had their help with our dog twice now and both times were awesome they take the animals out for long walks if it's ok with you and our dog loves them both as do we thank you both so much
