Greetings,
Our family (Mum, Dad and 7yo daughter) loves dogs however sadly we lost our beautiful german short haired pointer, Scarlet, of 14 years and and our hearts are not quite yet ready to welcome another member of the family, just yet.
We would however love to offer our dog care services to love and look after your furry friend as we would our own. We can assure you that your dog will be well catered for by capable and confident dog lovers.
We are able to accept one small vaccinated dog or puppy if not quite old enough for all of their vaccinations. We are only able to accomodate one booking at a time with one animal to ensure your pet gets the utmost, personalised attention. Whilst someone is usually home, your pet should be able to enjoy their own company for a few hours on the off chance we need to go out.
I am a Registered Nurse so am comfortable administering oral and injectable, prescribed medications if your dog requires these.
Your dog must be great with kids as our 7 year old loves dogs having grown up around Scarlet her whole life. Our daughter is very gentle however you can rest assured that she would never be left alone with your loved pet.
We offer a meet and greet service to ensure you are comfortable that we can safely and confidently care for your beloved pet and confirm that we are a great fit. If you would like to book a 5night or longer stay, we request a single night booking to ensure suitability, we can discuss this upon enquiry.
Specifics about what we offer:
- a peaceful pet paradise for your dog to enjoy, including access to beautiful manicured lawn
- fully secured Brisbane location in the lovely, inner-city suburb of Seven Hills (5km east of Brisbane CBD)
- administration of prescribed medications (if indicated)
- 1:1 company including lots of love and cuddes (I work from home most days). We do not have any other pets so your dog can receive our undivided attention
- clean, hygenic and diligently maintained living environment
- adherence to your specified dietary requirements (meals and snacks to be supplied), plentiful supply of fresh water
- access to good sized, fully fenced backyard with Sir Walter turfed grassed area for a beautiful under-paw feel
- at least daily walks (unless contraindicated) through a lovely urban environment
- regular enrichment activities
- comfortable sleeping quarters in our tiled laundry, close to living quarters to ensure we are able to respond quickly to your little one after hours. We can cater for dogs who prefer to sleep outside too, however our preference is for our pet guests to sleep indoors so we can keep a close eye on them!
- daily updates with photos to assure you your loved one is comfortable. Option to facilitate video calls with your darling if this would give you peace of mind.
We request that all dogs that are coming to visit:
- are house trained if they prefer to be indoors
- are generally calm and comfortable to be left in our backyard for a few hours at a time, if necessary (we do have CCTV so can monitor your beloved pet if we need to go out). We are unable to cater for dogs who bark persistently, have unmanaged anxiety, are aggressive or exhibit responsive / reactive behaviours
- have a bath within 24 hours of their arrival
- are up to date with flea and tick prevention
- have a regular vet who can be contacted if an exacerbation of a pre-existing health condition occurs
- are accompanied with all preferred bedding / meal time and water bowls / doggy doo bags / food and snacks etc.
Should you have any questions at all please contact me, we want you to feel entirely comfortable as we know it is a big decision securing someone to look after your pet. We pride ourselves on offering an ultra premium service to ensure your pet enjoys their holiday with us.
We look forward to the opportunity to hear from you regarding caring for your beloved dog or puppy. We welcome you to discuss suitable times for a meet and greet to ensure we are a great fit and understand your dog's specific needs to ensure we can provide them with a high level of care and support they deserve whilst you are away.
Thanks for reading this profile, please get in touch, Clare and Family.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days 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
10/10 we (and our dog) would highly recommend Clare and would definitely use her excellent pet sitting/boarding services again :)
Clare and her family very lovingly and carefully looked after our dog while we were away for 2 weeks. As this was our first time using Pawshake or any pet sitting/boarding services, we were a bit worried at first. After meeting Clare and her family, we were gently reassured that they would try their best to look after our dog while we were away and would love the opportunity to do so. As discussed during our meet up and when we dropped off our dog: Clare sent us a daily update and some photos, fed our dog twice a day, gave him his medication, took him for a walk, kept him well-groomed/clean, mentally and physically stimulated, checked him regularly for any medical emergencies like skin flare ups, hotposts, ticks etc. and provided a clean and neat area for his stay.
We could not have asked for a better pet sitter to look after our dog while we were away! Thank you very much to Clare and her family for the outstanding level of care and love provided to our dog, professionalism in communications/sending detailed updates and reassurance :)
She went above and beyond and we (and our dog) would be very happy to use her excellent pet sitting/boarding services again!
