Hi, my name is Lisa. My partner Jacob and I are currently in Australia on a working visa, and we are both from England.

As passionate animal lovers, we care for our family cockapoo, Rufus, back in the UK. I also have nine years of experience working as a kennel maid at Sweetwell Farm in Lancashire, where I was responsible for cleaning, feeding, administering medication, and walking dogs twice a day and of course giving plenty of cuddle and attention, I also enjoyed taking photos of the dogs and sharing updates with their owners.

We’ve been house-sitting in Australia since October and have cared for over 12 different dogs, receiving five-star reviews for each one. We’re looking to continue house-sitting through Pawshake during our travels. When we discovered this opportunity, it felt like the perfect way to combine our love for animals with our adventures. We’ve already gained some house-sitting experience here in Australia and are happy to share any reviews.

We have a car and are happy to take your pets on beach walks or anywhere else they enjoy. References from my work at Sweetwell Farm are available upon request, and I can also reach out to previous house-sitting clients.

We’re open to arranging a FaceTime, Zoom, or phone call—or even meeting in person—whatever works best for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes, 

Lisa-Marie & Jacob 🐾
