Hello! I am a Full-Time Dog Sitter.

I LOVE and Adore dogs.

I LOVE to Pamper pooches.

In my previous life I was High School Teacher (Double Degree; BA,B.Ed English and History), for 25 years. I live with my husband and teenage son.

I loved owning two beautiful, fluffy and pampered Bichon Frise. Sadly, they passed away at the age of 15 and 16 years recently. Since our loss, instead of owning another doggy, I decided to become full time Pawshake sitter as a way of extending my love to other people's fur-babies.

What I discovered, when we first owned dogs, was how difficult it was to find sitters who didn't mind our dogs living inside their home. Based on my own experiences I understand how hard it is to leave your beloved pooch in a kennel or asking your friends yet again to help out. Hence, I wanted to become a sitter to woofs who are very much pampered and need to live inside our home during the day AND night.

As a full time dog sitter I am able to devote ALL my time and energy to care for other people's floofs with lots of love and cuddles, daily walks around our leafy suburb (if they enjoy walking) and special pampered attention. What's more, because I consistently have three to four dogs each day it's important that your doggo is very social and friendly with a variety of small to medium sized breeds. However, feel confident knowing that I NEVER leave them unsupervised. Moreover, because dogs love routine I will endeavour to make sure your pooch always feels safe, secure and content. 

Additionally, I am happy to give your pooch a luxurious bath, blow dry and brush. Feel free to leave a bottle of shampoo before going away. Due to my love for pampered pooches, I am often asked by friends and family to babysit their floofs because they know we are a very loving family who can be trusted with their beloved furry family members.

Our Queenslander home has a beautiful, large, fully fenced yard with plenty of space that is pooch proof, so they can safely roam freely. The back deck is extremely spacious, with lots of space to lounge around on couches and rugs. It also has a ramp that leads to the beautiful garden, great for elderly woofs with wobbly legs. We maintain our luxurious, green lawn all year round with organic, dog friendly fertilisers. Furthermore, we have a separate fenced, salt water pool area, if they like to have a swim on hot days. If your fur-baby doesn't like to swim, on those really humid Queensland days, be rest assured that the air conditioner will be running so your pooch can comfortably relax and sleep. Likewise, on cold winter nights the ducted air conditioner will be kept on to guarantee your beloved bear is warm and snug.

I can assure you that my home offers a safe and loving home for your pampered pooch whilst you are away; daily, short term or long term pet sitting options available. House trained a must.

Please note: All dogs MUST wear an everyday collar with their ID name and phone number attached, NOT just attached to a harness.

Furthermore, with each beloved woof I look after I attach an Apple AirTag to their collar. Apple airtag®: using bluetooth technology, apple airtag® pings your roaming Labrador, wandering Poodle or curious Cocker Spaniel's location to my iPhone. Preserving both peace of mind and your pet’s safety.
