I grew up in Indonesia surrounded by a full house of animals: golden retrievers, a husky, a great dane, and several puppy mutts. From a young age, I was responsible for their daily care, training, and wellbeing. Those years shaped me into someone who understands not just how to care for pets, but how to recognise their unique personalities, needs, and emotional cues.

As my Pawshake profile is new, I’ve included reviews from another trusted pet-sitting platform from verified, returning clients. :)

My partner, Jeffrey, also grew up with a husky, and together we provide a calm, attentive, and reliable home environment. Your pet will have constant companionship, supervision, and genuine care; never left alone for long periods.

🏠
We’re based in the Melbourne CBD, just minutes from leading veterinary clinics including Lort Smith Animal Hospital (6 mins) and CARE Vet Hospital 24/7 (10 mins) in case of any emergencies. A pet store is also nearby for any last-minute essentials.

We’re also a 5-minute walk from Flagstaff Gardens, our regular walking spot for enrichment, fresh air, and gentle exercise.

🐶
We specialise in caring for small to medium dogs and treat every guest as if they were our own. Your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort come first. You’ll receive a detailed daily update so you always know how your fur baby is doing throughout their stay.

🐶🐱🐹
We also have experience caring for cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles, each with their own personalities and needs. Your pet will be welcomed into a responsible, loving home where their safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities.

We look forward to providing your pet with a warm, premium home-away-from-home experience.

🐾 What to Expect During Dog Daycare/Boarding/House Sitting

When your pup spends the day with us, they’ll receive attentive, structured, and loving care. Here’s what a typical daycare day looks like:

🐶 Small Group Care (Max 2 Dogs)

To ensure calm, attentive, and fully supervised care, we host a maximum of 2 dogs at any one time.

If your dog prefers their own space or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, we’re also happy to host just 1 dog to ensure their comfort and wellbeing.

🌞 Warm welcome & settling in

Your dog is gently introduced to our home, given time to explore, and offered water and comfort. We make sure they feel safe and relaxed before activities begin.

🚶♂️ Daily walk & outdoor time

Every booking includes a 30-minute to 2-hour walk to our nearby park for enrichment, sniffing, and gentle exercise. Pace and duration are adjusted to your dog’s age and energy level.

🎾 Playtime & mental stimulation

Your pup will enjoy a mix of play, enrichment toys, short training games, and cuddles. We focus on mental stimulation, which helps reduce anxiety and supports calm behaviour.

🧸 Comfort, naps & supervision

Our apartment is calm and clean, with plenty of space for rest. Your pet is never left alone for long periods — one of us is always home.

📸 Updates throughout the day

You’ll receive photos, videos, and a short day summary so you always know how your dog is doing.

🫶 Tailored care for every dog

We adapt our routine to suit your dog’s personality, needs, diet, and temperament. Just let us know any quirks or preferences!
