About Debbie

NOTE: BOARDING AVAILABLE ONLY FOR CATS OR SMALL ANIMALS (ZYLKENE & FELIWAY AVAILABLE ON REQUEST)

Hi there! My name is Debbie and I am a Speech Pathologist by profession. I joined Pawshake in May 2022 as a way to take up pet sitting as a hobby. I have a particular soft spot for cats but I am a lover of any and all kinds of small animals.

As a pet parent of 2 rescue cats, I know how stressful and unsettling it could be for you and your fur babies to be away from each other. With plenty of experience caring for dogs, cats and birds, I will make sure your pets are healthy and happy during their time with me. I will also be communicating with you on a daily basis so that you don't miss them too much!

I am also able to cater for pets with special needs as one of my cats falls into this category.

My services include:

  • Safe and reliable care for dogs, cats and birds, including those with special needs
  • Administering oral medication, subcutaneous injection, and topical treatment
  • Constant supervision and flexible schedule as I work from home most days
  • Basic grooming including brushing teeth, brushing and clipping nails
  • Other basic necessities at the owner's request
  • I am triple vaccinated, with a valid police check and working with children check.

    HOME VISITS (~30 minutes)

    For each home visit, I will be spending around 30 minutes with your pets, to make sure they are well entertained, fed, have access to fresh water/litter, and medicated if needed. A quick 15-minute walk is also included for dogs. I will also be able to complete emergency transport if necessary. If you have any special requests (e.g. watering your plants), you can let me know as well and I will try my best.

    BOARDING (FOR CATS AND SMALL ANIMALS ONLY)

    If you are looking for a cosy and safe home for your cats, look no further! Unfortunately since my cats are not entirely confident with dogs, I will be opening my home to cats and small animals only.

    Boarding's check in time is after 12pm on the day, and check out time is before 11am the next day (negotiable).

    Some perks of staying at my place include:

    • A quiet space for shy pets - I am currently living in an apartment by myself and rarely have guests. I will also be hosting only a maximum of 2 guests each time to ensure your pets are well taken care of and comfortable.
    • A place that is well set up for cats - from freshly cleaned litter boxes, cat trees and castles, to baskets full of cat toys! Your pets will also have Zara and Arthur as playmates to keep them entertained. I am also using Feliway Optimum to help my guest felines decompress. Zylkene is also available on request.
    • My cats are neutered, strictly indoors and up-to-date with their vaccination and flea/worm treatment, which means there will be no health concerns. Please note that it is also a requirement for your pets.
    • With me being at home on most days, your pets will sure to receive lots of love and attention from me 24/7.
    • Pick up/drop off is also negotiable.
    • Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and we could organise a meet & greet. It is important that not only you are happy with my service, but your pets are also comfortable with me as a petsitter. I am looking forward to spoiling your furbabies and giving them lots of love!

      We were very pleased to find Debbie, she took great care of our cat and made sure to communicate quickly and clearly throughout. We won't hesitate to book her again the next time we are in need!
