About Tahlea

Hey there, Tahlea here!

A little bit about me

I’m 24 years old and have just finished studying Certificate III in Captive Animals. I have been on Pawshake since the beginning of 2018, building up a trusting client base through dog walking, home visits and house sitting. I have had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs of all ages, breeds and health statuses throughout the Queanbeyan and Canberra region.

For a year and a half, I also worked part-time at a local boarding facility, which strengthened my knowledge in providing active care for animals and optimising their wellbeing while their owners were away. My previous employment at a dog grooming salon (as a dog washer) has amplified my dog handling skills, and my current employment in dog retail has kept my knowledge up to date on all things pet care!

Unfortunately I am not able to dedicate much time to dog walking and house sitting anymore, but I am open to making scheduled home visits to check up on your pets and remind them that you'll be home soon! If you would like, we can set up a time to meet beforehand so I can even meet your pets too. Getting to know yourself and your pet/s will help me to provide the best care I can while you are away, and hopefully, put your worries aside by getting to know me too!

Cat Sitting your furry felines

I live with two cats who are the exact opposite of one another - one is playful, silly, and won't stop meowing until I pet her; the other is quiet and shy but loves cuddles when she decides that's what she wants! Each cat has its own personality, and as a cat sitter, that is something I can cater to for your babies.

Whether they want never-ending pats, a person to play with, or someone to snuggle next to, I can be a friendly and warm presence wherever needed. Forming a bond and friendly relationship with cats can sometimes take a lot of time and effort, and I am most willing to do that with lots of patience and love!

Home Visits for your best friends

I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, so I am more than happy to give them a visit to make sure they're doing okay! My home visits are a fun-filled hour of love and care, and activities can include: 

  • Food and water changing. 
  • Litter box changing or poop patrol in the backyard (taking pets out to the toilet or cleaning up the backyard of poos). 
  • Playtime! 
  • Lots and lots of cuddles. 
  • Brushing to groom your pet's gorgeous coats (if a brush is supplied). 
  • Leisure walk (if pre-booked). 
  • Casual obedience training - running through commands they may already know to keep them mentally stimulated. 
  • Photoshoots so you can see your happy fur-babies!
  • Thanks so much,

    Tahlea

    One of the nicest and caring people you would want to meet, that loves your fur baby as if she were her own. Thank you again Tahlea.

    Tahlea was an absolute joy to work with. We had so much peace of mind assured by working with her on the care of our (sometimes difficult!) little kitty at home: we can't thank her enough and will definitely rebook in the future.
