Hi, my name is Lana, I am a stay at home mum, with my 7 and 10 year old kids. My family and I have been caring for pets on the Central Coast for several years, from the safe, spacious and loving environment of our family home. As we don't have pets, all the attention and love is given in full to your precious furbabies:)
(Note: Although we do not have pets of our own, we are a popular pet sitting service, so it is likely there will be other friendly playmates around when your dog stays with us)
How our journey began - a few years ago, my kids asked me to get a puppy for them... Given my experience, I knew how that works, and the responsibility required. Normally kids will be engaged with the pup for the first few months, lose interest, and then it becomes your responsibility...I simply was not ready for another baby :) and by coincidence, a few days later my husband saw an advertisement about petsitting.. and we thought: "Why not give it a go???" So I did...:) It was a win-win for everyone. Everyday our kids come home and get to play with different dogs, they just adore them... over time we have had a lot of return customers and we feel as if they are part of our family...
We have a house with a secure backyard, big enough for dogs to run around and fully enjoy their getaway :)
Located just behind the Westfield, Tuggerah, and literally 2 minutes from the M1 Motorway, which is very convenient for those travelling north from Sydney or south from Newcastle/Hunter/Port Stephens and North Coast regions.
You can relax knowing your furry friend in good hands!
Looking forward to meeting my new long-term friends :)
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
I book with her for first time.
she looked after my both puppies very well.
I would highly recommend her.
We organised the meet and greet prior to making the booking and found Svetlana and her house to be as described in the profile. There were 2 dogs inside (very friendly) and 1 outside (older and quite). Our Crosby could be seen as social and curious, not one to cause a fuss with the other dogs.
We agreed the booking would proceed as we requested.
A minor issue with booking dates and availability was resolved by good communication with Svetlana and the Pawshake Help Line email.
On the day of care everything went very well. Svetlana kept us updated with pictures of Crosby playing and going for walks (on lead). He would be a tired little boy.
As it was overnight he slept inside as requested and was let out when he let the keepers know it was time for a week break.
At time of pickup he was outside but came to us quickly. There were no issues to report and he was perfectly fine on coming home, if not just a bit tired.
Svetlana sent us a couple of video clips of the pups playing, really good feedback.
We will be happy to book Svetlana again if she will have us.
