Send your pets to hang out with ours! We have a lovely 3 year old Labrador x golden retriever who is always looking for new friends to play with, and a year old cat who rules the roost.
Doggy friends can join us on our trips to parks and beaches (including off leash dog parks and lagoons where suitable) or can stay for the day and play in the back garden or hang out inside with me for the day. Sleepovers are also an option, with plenty of beds to share!
As I mostly work from home, and my teenage daughters are often at home if I am not, pets are not left alone for more than a few hours. I have had cats and dogs for more than 30 years, have fostered pets and worked in animal rescue, so I have loads of experience. The whole family just love animals.
All dogs are walked for a minimum of one hour once per day. Additional walks are an option, if required. Walks are a mix of leashed and off leash, and swimming is an option too. Dogs can choose to be inside or outside, but are kept indoors at night. We have a large, secure garden and a locked gate. My own dog sleeps on the bed, visitors are welcome on beds or to sleep on their own beds, as preferred by their owners.
Kitty visitors can find plenty of places in our sunny house to snuggle up - and plenty of places to chill out and relax. All cats are strictly indoor only. Cats are free to sleep wherever they like - couches or beds are available. Our dog is great with cats, and recently helped raise 3 newborn foster kittens!
My daughters and I love animals, and have fostered pets in the past, so we are familiar with introducing new animals to our home and making them comfortable.
We are happy to take your pets for just a walk, to hang out for the day, to sleepover or to just go and check in on them at home to make sure everything is ok. We have a lot of experience with pets of all sorts and can handle most situations.
Get in touch to see how we can help make day to day life easier, or give you peace of mind on your holidays.

This was my first time using Pawshake and Catherine was great. She is super responsive in communications and very easy to arrange timings with. Bertie had a great holiday staying at Catherine's house - I would definitely book with Catherine again in the future.
Thank you Catherine, Fritzy loved his day of cuddles.
Such a lucky boy.
Many years experience with cats and dogs, including fostering newborn kittens.
I am also an experienced WIRES wildlife rescuer.
