Hi there!
I'm Naomi: friend of Charlie Brown (12-year-old Border Collie x Retriever) since 2009, and lifelong animal lover. Charlie and I have been together since he was a pup, and we've grown, learned lots together, and travelled far and wide on many adventures.
Pets are our family! I'll be a great friend to your fur, scale, or feathered companion with my enthusiasm, creativity, understanding, patience, and life experience. Devising innovative play to keep pets' minds active is fun, and beneficial to their wellbeing, as well as a passion of mine.
My favourite part of pet care is seeing how happy they are when playing, after a stroll, some mental stimulation, and lots of good scritches.
It's important to me to practice a force-free approach, for example letting a dog sniff as long as they like in as many places as they like - catching up on the neighbourhood news! I don't believe in exercising animals at our pace, but rather as a form of enrichment for them; Enjoying life at their speed.
I will keep you updated with every visit - I enjoy providing you with candid action shots (and videos where possible) as much as those sweet posed photos.
(Please note: unfortunately I am unable to have additional pets in my home. I am not qualified to administer medications.)
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Naomi is absolutely amazing. The way she nurtures and interacts with Rosie validates her true passion and love for animals. This is not a job for Naomi but a true joy.
I contacted Naomi through pawshake and she now regularly walks our dog 2 days a week. Communication has been really easy and she sends a detailed update of their adventure each day, accompanied by photos. She goes above and beyond the standard walk and has taken him to the beach and bathed him after. She genuinely cares about animals and it's nice to know our dog is being looked after when we're at work. We are very happy with Naomi and so is our dog :)
