Aston

Kia ora! My name is Aston.

If you are looking for an experienced, kind, patient and reliable pet sitter to care for your fur babies then continue reading!

Our furry friends make our lives so happy and fulfilled but sometimes life can get in the way of giving them what they need and deserve and I am here to make that easier for you!

I am a passionate 26-year-old animal lover, I have owned dogs, cats, and rabbits and have never second-guessed prioritizing their needs with endless amounts of love. I am experienced with handling many kinds of dogs and have a very soft touch, yet being firm when necessary.

My love for animals came naturally at what seemed like from birth :'D but really flourished when I was 12 years old and our family got a Rottweiler, Brando. Brando was in my life for 8 years and I learned just about everything to do with training, taming, and loving a dog. I have no size, age or breed preference as my experience and love for dogs is broad.

And we couldn't leave out the kitties! I own 2 cats at home currently, and am all over the fact that some cats need almost just as much attention as dogs! I've also owned very sassy, 'hard-to-get' cats and understand some need their space while others insist on sitting on your lap while you work!

I have been pet sitting for many years now but only found out about PawShake a couple of years ago.

Here are some things that I offer for your pet while they are in my care:

(I am always open to catering to your preferences)...

• Walking - dog parks, suburb walks, beaches, mountains, etc.

• Increased exercising - playing fetch, running with them, swimming.

• Grooming - If your pet is a little smelly or dirty I don't mind giving them a bath.

• Feeding - If you are away I can stop by once or twice a day to feed them and of course give them some love and attention so they are not lonely while you are gone. (After working hours now)

• Overnight stay(s) - I can stay with your pet while you are away and care for them - please note that I no longer work from home, I am still offering pet stays overnight, I just would need to drop them off to a doggy day care in the morning and collect at night (I work 830am-430pm in at Heliers) - I also have a lovely doggie I pet sit for that is comfortable being left at home during the working day. So it's up to you what suits your fur baby best!

• Administering medicine - injections, or yummy treat hidden pills is my specialty!

I do not work my full time job on weekends so am available for your fur babies all weekend long - please note that Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights I charge $90/night.

I am located in Herne Bay, and my initial preference would be to help out pet families located in close proximity to me but I am open to you reaching out to me from further afield and we can work something out. :)


Thank you for reading and I would love to hear from you soon! :)
