My partner, Oliver, and I love dogs, and are missing my family dog, a bichon frise, who we had to leave in Georgia with my mum, when we decided to move back to Australia 2 years ago. Since then, we've found out about Pawshake and dog sitting and want to have the best of both worlds - taking care of dogs when we can, and being able to travel when we want.
Oliver, my partner, has a hybrid work arrangement, and can choose when to work from home, and can be super flexible with your dog's needs. I work nearby Monday to Friday, and we're generally available most weekends. We live near the Yarra on Chapel St, and have easy access to parks and ovals in our area which we'd love to bring your dog(s) to. We live in an apartment which doesn't have a balcony.
We have both grown up around dogs big and small, Oliver with a kelpie cross, a cocker spaniel, and my parents current greyhound. I also had a Saint Bernard alongside our family's bichon frise. We are both very active and love going on walks, but are also happy to lounge with any slothful dogs too.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our experience and availability, and hope to hear from you soon!

Natia and Oliver took care of our two dogs for a week and our girls had the best time. They took care of the dogs as if they were there own, it was so nice to have them so cared for while we were away. The photo updates were lovely and our communication was great. I’ll definitely use them again in the future and would recommend to any other dog owners.
Stop looking, you've found the best sitters around! We needed to find boarding for Snowie our 12yo Maltese X so we could travel interstate for 5 days. We couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Natia and Oli have a lovely warm home environment and are such genuine and caring people. They treated Snowie as if he was their own. The communication overall was excellent, we even received daily updates and photos which was so great and reassuring. We have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely be booking Snowie in again to stay. Thank you so much Natia and Oli!
