Hello, my name is Anja (pronounced Anya), I am a respectful, quiet person with a soft spot for books, modern art and caring for feline companions.
I live in an indoor jungle with my best friend and our beloved British Blue, Paddington. Pad-man loves lap naps, quality pats and watching the humans, silently compete for his attention. I would love to have more than one kitty in the house, but alas, Paddington is a possessive boy and we respect that. Luckily, becoming a pet sitter on Pawshake over a year ago saved me from becoming a cat hoarder and Paddy from having to share space with 49 other cats... It didn't, however, stop me from accumulating a substantial plant collection. I love being surrounded by plants and find looking after them incredibly soothing, therefore I am able to provide competent care if you have a needy indoor jungle of your own.
To provide the best possible service and get the most out of my time with your pets, I aim to take one booking at a time. For me, pet sitting is a labour of love, so keeping to one booking keeps me extra focused on spoiling your pet and providing you with regular updates. Everybody wins!
Please note that I rely on public transport to get from place to place, and for this reason, my services are mostly available in my local area and surrounding suburbs only. These areas include (but aren't limited to) the following suburbs: Melbourne CBD, Southbank, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, East Melbourne, South Yarra, Prahran, Albert Park, Richmond, and St Kilda. If in doubt, feel free to reach out! In case I am not able to accept your booking for whatever reason, I will be able to recommend another trusted Pawshake sitter, so don't be shy :)
I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
Anja has been absolutely fantastic taking care of Tez once again.
She sent me daily videos and pictures of him as well as updates on his behaviour. It was so reassuring to know that he was in such good hand with her.
Anja was also so kind and took care of all my plants.
I could not recommend this awesome petsitter more.
We highly recommend Anja. Her communication was 100% as was the care and affection she gave to our cat over the week we were away. The daily updates sure showed just what a cat lover she is, our cat Pippi loved spending time with her new best human friend. Thank Anja!!
