About David and Holly


Hi Pawrents!


Our names are Holly and David, and like any (cool?) childless millennial, we are obsessed with dogs.


Treats on arrival, walks, cuddles, a comfy area to chill/sleep, and a sunny courtyard…


We love pampering our guests!


Our Experience:

David has owned a rescue Australian Shepherd and worked in the canine unit in the army. We rescued our dog, Bruno, from the RSPCA in 2019.


Speaking of Bruno, he loves having friends around. He is a gentle, relaxed, 52kg Mastiff cross Irish Wolfhound who has only positive experiences with dogs and humans. 


As big dog owners, we understand the struggle and anxiety that comes with leaving your big baby. We are confident with all breeds (including those on the larger side!), and welcome any dog into our home. We have cared for older dogs with medical issues, puppies, and dogs of all breeds/sizes.


We used Pawshake 2019-2021, then took a break due to employment responsibilities. You can check our reviews :)


Currently, Holly works full-time as a teacher, and David brews beer for his own brand, and does industry consultancy work. He is able to work his brewing and consultancy schedule around Pawshake. Your dog will have much time for pampering from both of us.


Our Place:


We have a tiled living room, which is perfect for dogs, and where we spend most of our time!


We live 15 mins walk from three parks - Marrickville Park, Petersham Park, and Henson Park - and are happy to take your dog for walks or a play if you’d like.


We have a fenced side area and courtyard for pets to go to the bathroom or relax in the sun. Pets sleep inside in bedding you have provided, or can come up on our bed for a sneaky cuddle depending on yours and their preference.


Our Services:


Dog Walking


Dog Boarding 


Dog Day Care


David, having worked with the canine unit, can add training sessions to any of the above services if you wish.


We understand leaving your baby with someone can be a little nerve-wracking, so feel free to send through any questions or info. We are happy to do a meet and greet at Petersham Park, Marrickville Park, or Henson Park, if you want to.


We keep our availability up to date, and are looking forward to meeting your dog child :)

David did a great job caring for our high energy Australian Terrier. He even trained her and worked on some behavioural issues. I was surprised that David’s dog Bruno was so calm and gentle with Kobi. Kobi is very playful and enthusiastic towards other dogs.I would not hesitate to book Kobi in for another stay.

He is also happy to just enjoy, play and relax with them! David previously owned an Australian Shepherd and has practice with active breeds/training/behavior issues. We have rescue experiene! Bruno is a rescue who has been very easy to train and is very well-behaved.
