Grace

My name is Grace, I was born and raised in Wellington. I originally created my Pawshake profile in 2020 when I was living in Tauranga and wanted some part-time work. I then fell in love with looking after pets and now having been back in Wellington for a while and finding a full-time job at Welling Zoo, I have re-found my love of meeting new animals and having been Pawshaking ever since! I

Growing up my Mum was allergic to cats and dogs, so while my sister and I never had any of our own we were constantly hunted down by the rest of our street to feed, walk and look after their animals.

My job hours are standard 9 am- 5 pm Monday to Friday, however, I do work from home permanently on a Monday so will be able to keep your pet company then if required. I have done jobs before in which I have been able to leave my client's pets at home while I am at work and I have come back to the house on my lunch breaks to check up on them and give them whatever they need. I can also be somewhat flexible with working from home on other days. Whatever the owner is happy with, I am happy with!

I'm not a super strong build but have had plenty of experience handling large dogs such as German Shepherds and German Pointers. I also have a lot of experience with young puppies including doing toilet training and basic command training.

Thank you for your consideration! I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you and your fluffy friends soon!
