Hi there, my name is Rosie!
My point of difference in this pet-service field is my Vet Nursing experience. I have worked in General Practice right through to a Specialist Emergency Hospital, for almost 10 years. This extensive experience means I am the perfect option to look after any pets with a little extra medication or care requirements. Diabetes, Cushings, Hyperthyriodism, Addisons, post-surgery and a mirriad of other diseases and conditions are second nature to me now and I am so grateful that I can make YOU feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in the care of a professional (so you can actually enjoy your break!).
I live in Moorooka with my husband and our little human, Zoey.
I really do love both cats and dogs - and am not opposed to our feathered or scaly friends either.
**SERVICES OFFERED**
In home visits
This is for those pets who are happy in their own space and don't need as much human companionship as a boarding or house-sitting service offers. Perfect for weekends away and shorter trips, or those feline friends who like their own house and just need a little check in each day. Includes feeding, water bowl top-up, play, litter/poop collection. Medication incurs an additional $5 per visit. Add a walk for $20
Cat Sitting 😻
Known as one of the 'cat people' throuhgout my career, I consider myself a bit of a feline-whisperer, and lucky for me, my husband is a total cat-person too. We love having cats in the house again after losing our old boy (Patrick) a little while ago. This is a great option for cats who would be happy in another space, and love having that human companionship around the house. Our little human Zoey is also an aspiring cat lover and is very gentle and sweet, thanks to her first experience with them being around a diabetic, hyperthyroid grump. Note Pawshake currently only has a 'dog boarding' option when choosing a service.
Boarding in my home
Due to our space and my current capacity for this service, boarding is very limited and I can only take very special, calm and quiet friends. If your dog is used to being inside, 12kg or less and especially if they are in their retrirement years or require some ongoing medication or care, please reach out to see if I could be a good fit for you. (we do have a small yard)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I currently part-time (Mon + Tues + Thurs) so if using in-home boarding there may be a day or two where your pet is left alone for a larger part of the day.
Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
From the first contact with Rosie we knew she would be perfect to take care of Daisy. Meeting Rosie was a pleasure. Rosie has kept in touch all throughout our journey and even sent photos of Daisy to let us know she was ok.
Rosie is a wonderful sitter and a lovely person.
Thank you to Rosie for her genuine care, generosity and prompt communication. We would definitely use your services again.
Kind regards
