About Claudia

*Police Checked: can provide documentation*

Hello! We are Holly and Claudia, a couple from Manchester U.K, living in Australia, house and pet-sitting professionally. We have extensive reviews and recommendations on both Trusted Housesitters and Madpaws, but are new to Pawshake. Happy to send links via message so you can get more insight into us as pet sitters and walkers.

We both love to be out in nature, whether it's chasing waterfalls or discovering landmarks on our hikes. We enjoy going to the gym together (Holly holds a British record for her Deadlift!) and watching Horror films in the cinema.

We are both huge animal-lovers and have spent all our lives caring for animals in different situations including:

- pet-sitting for older and disabled dogs; pet sitting for indoor and outdoor dogs and cats

- adopting our Cat, Mia, at age 10

- caring for a pregnant dog and following the birth, her 6 puppies.

- raising a dog from a puppy, including specific training for reactiveness

- living with big dogs (Dalmation and Standard Poodle)

- caring for smaller pets including hamsters, fish and rabbits.

We are feeling really sad about having left our own pets at home with friends whilst we travel, so are really glad to have the opportunity to still care for animals whilst we are away from home.

Perks of choosing us to look after your pets:

- we are a couple so that's double the experience, attention and care, especially important for walking

- we have lots of experience across cats and dogs, including around different ages, disability, anxious pets, puppy-rearing and reactiveness.

- we have lots of reviews, recommendations and ID checks on Trusted House-sitters

- we are both young and physically fit so can handle walking stronger dogs and those with less training.

Claudia and Holly took care of our house and our teenager bearded dragon Sandy for 4 weeks whilst we where overseas.

We couldn't be happier with the service, they took amazing care of Sandy, communicated daily with pictures and updates, and went above and beyond which allowed my partner and I to enjoy our holiday with complete peace of mind.

Thank you for being the best in the business and also leaving the house in a beautiful clean condition!

Will absolutely hire these girls again and recommend them to anyone who wants a high quality service.

Claudia and Holly were fantastic sitters who went above and beyond to care for our 11week old puppy. We were nervous to leave her so young but they showered her with love and care.

We will absolutely be calling on Claudia and Holly again!

We both have grown-up with and had responsibility for animals since we were children and recently became full-time house and pet sitters, caring for a range of pets with different needs. Our experience caring for pets includes: - adopting our Cat, Mia, at age 10 - caring for a pregnant dog and following the birth, her 6 puppies. - raising a dog from a puppy, including specific training for reactiveness - living with big dogs (Dalmation and Standard Poodle) - caring for smaller pets including hamsters, fish and rabbits. - cat-sitting for a colleague who had 2 older cats - dog-sitting for our friend who has a 8 year old rescue staffy. We also have had the experience several times of people house-sitting and pet-sitting in our home and understand deeply the trust and sometimes anxiety that goes into the experience (the last time we went away, whilst a family member was cat-sitting, our scaredy-cat Mia got spooked and got stuck behind a boiler! Needless to say it was an expensive and semi-traumatic event). We would always take extra special care with someone else's home and pet for this reason!
