Hey there! I am Xavy (39) and I am doing house sitting and dog / cat minding on a regular base together with my husband Esteban (37). We do this since 8 years and there have been months we barely saw our own home :-) I am from the Netherlands and Esteban is from Argentina; we got married on the Sunshine coast and we live in Wurtulla. We chose to live here on the Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore area, because I feel this is a very good place with lovely people and very beautiful nature. We are both very responsable people who love nature and animals and we really enjoy to play with them and take care of them. Your pet will be in good hands with us :-) We use pawshake to become more in contact with animals and it is awesome to share some more walks and cuddles here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast with a happy pet and play with them. I used to have a cat, a dog and two ferrets in my house (my lovely parents are minding them now in the Netherlands) so I'm very keen in taking care of animals. Here on the Sunshine Coast we usually are dogminding at our own house now as we have a toddler who loves animals. Nothing is better to not having to worry about your dog while you are away! And for us humans it is also good to have a change in routine. We love to make nice trips with the dog for example to Mooloolaba beach, Ewen Maddock Park, sometimes we go fishing (we then built a shelter for the dog so he doesnt get sunburned), and we can take your dogs to the dog park. Or if you want the dog to be walked in a different way we can adapt to that, ofcourse. We are also happy to stay at your home, if your pet likes that more. If you live further away from our home then it is more convenient for us to have Esteban housesit for you rather than me and our toddler. We will send you some photo updates through the pawshake app or by text. We are quite flexible timewise. Feel free to contact me as well about other pets, such as cats, reptiles, turtles, guinea pigs, domestic rats, etc. If you want we can even take your cat out for a walk if you have a little cat leash ;-) When you make an inquiry please tell me what your dogs needs are and where you live. We can do around 15-20 minutes from Wurtulla. If you need a pet sitter do not hesitate to contact me and we will adapt ourselves to what you need. Speak to you soon! Cheers, Xavy and Esteban
