Hi!

My name is Valentina. I’m originally from Chile and I’m currently living in Australia on a Work and Holiday visa. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and they have been a very important part of my life.

Back home, I have a one-and-a-half-year-old dog who I had to leave with my parents while I’m in Australia. She was (and still is) like my daughter, and I miss her a lot. When I discovered Pawshake through social media, I felt genuinely happy knowing I could work while also spending time with dogs again, which is something that truly makes me happy and brings me comfort during my time here.

I’ve grown up caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, both my own and those of friends and family. I’m confident walking dogs on a leash, paying attention to their behaviour, and making sure they feel safe, calm and happy during their walks. I understand that every dog is different, so I always adapt the walk to their energy level and needs.

I’m responsible, caring and reliable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Being around dogs brings joy to my life, and I believe they genuinely make life better — especially when you’re far from home.

My English is still a work in progress, so I find it easier to communicate via messages rather than calls.
