Hey! I am a stay at home mum in Stanmore Bay and would love to look after your pets!

We only take one booking at a time so you can be sure your pet is getting lots of attention and you will get lots of updates!

I live with my husband (High School Teacher) and my baby boy, who is 13 months old. As I am a stay at home mum I rarely leave the house for more than a few hours at a time and have a very flexible schedule so am able to spend a lot of time with your pet. We have a fully fenced, decent sized back lawn and can provide a small - medium sized kennel. Your pet can sleep inside if they are fully house trained!

Our house is situated on a reserve which provides awesome areas for dog walking and exploring as well as being within walking distance of the beach. Bubs and I love to go walking most days - he loves animals and is very gentle with them! I have always believed kids need animals in their lives but we are unfortunately unable to have one of our own at present so I figure having other dogs and animals coming to stay is a pretty close substitute! Your pet will be treated as one of the family and we miss our previous 'guests' when they go home.

As a child I desperately wanted pets, particularly a dog. I once rescued a rabbit called Snowy at around 10 years old which I was allowed to keep and after much begging my parents got a dog for us all! He was a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) called Sparkie. We then moved to a lifestyle block (my dream come true) and I enjoyed raising calves in my teenage years. I have cared for my own pets as a child/teenager, the pets of the families I have nannied for (including overnight) as well as having cared for dogs already through Pawshake (see reviews). I have also been a nanny for many years so understand what it is like to look after someone so precious! I am good at following instructions/routine and can provide a very loving home.

Animals must be house trained (or stay outside), vaccinated, flea-free and child-friendly.

We have a smoke-free, clean home. I only ever take one booking at a time (except for a few hours overlap on pick up/drop off days) which means your pet(s) gets lots of one-on-one attention and the best care possible! New pets need to have a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure a good fit. Calendar shows availability for days that I am only out for 4 hrs max. Please still enquire if it is marked as unavailable as we may still be able to work something out!

Looking forward to meeting you!
