Hello pet parents! 👋🏼
A bit about us: We are Chris and Maëlys and are both in our mid twenties working full time, mostly from home. We live in a large house with a massive fully fenced garden in Mount Albert.
Our environment: We love to go for a stroll on the plethora of walks we are lucky to have in the neighbourhood. We also love to curl up by the fireplace or in the sunrooms at home. Our backyard is fabulously enormous. Yes the photos you see on our profile are of our garden! 🌲🌴🌳 Rest assured your fur baby will enjoy their stay with us.
Our experience: As pet lovers we've always been surrounded by animals and are always delighted to have them stay with us. Maëlys has volunteered for the SPCA looking after various rescued souls and both of us have been trusted to look after our friend's and other people's pets on numerous occasions.
Why Pawshake?: We don't have a pet of our own and Pawshake is our best way of getting and giving some cuddles to loving, tail wagging and purring beings! So when we're available we would love to look after your precious pet when you need it.
We will happily take care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits and turtles.
A few things about bookings:
Requirements: To make this an enjoyable and stress free time for you, your pet and us, we require that your pet be house trained, potty trained, up to date with vaccinations, flea & worm treatments and clean on arrival.
What to bring?: Please provide food, litter basics, your pet's favourite toys and clean bedding so they can still feel at home in the temporary nest we offer them.
Boarding (overnight) bookings cover a 24 hour stay. If longer than 24 hours, please let us know so we can make the necessary adjustments.
While we don't offer comprehensive grooming, if after a walk they get a bit muddy, we do have a pet shower to give them a quick clean up. (See photo in our gallery)
Thanks for reading to the end, you made it! If you are interested or have any question feel free to send us a message, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Looking forward to hear from you!
Maëlys & Chris 🐾

Our Loki had her second stay with Maelys and Chris, this time a longer stay. We were able to fully relax whilst away taking comfort that she was been taken care of wonderfully. We can’t thank Maelys and Chris enough and can confirm we will always be happy returning customers 🙂
Chris and Maelys provided excellent care for my dogs while I was away. Communication was great, keeping me updated on how the boys settled in and how the rest of their stay was. Highly recommend them for anyone seeking reliable and caring pet sitters.
