Back for dog walks and home visits!

After taking a year off Pawshake due to getting my dream job, which has now ended im back and ready to meet more new pets!

I am very mature and reliable! I believe these attributes are important when caring and looking after any Animal.

Before my break from Pawshake I had been working at a Kennels/dog daycare and Cattery for over a year,

Due to having a baby late last year I am not going to be returning to work and instead am looking at picking up some regular walks.

Walks will be anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour long sometimes longer, this will be entirely up to your self and for what your dog needs. I am happy to let your dog ride in my car, to take them on beach, bush or forrest walks. Or we can have a stroll around your neighborhood.

Home visits will include me feeding your pet, giving them fresh water, refreshing their bedding, completing a nose to tail health check and providing companionship, whether that be by walking them, playing ball or giving them pats and cuddles. Minimum amount of time with your pets, 30 minutes.

I am located in Woolston, but I'm happy to travel to most areas of Christchurch.

I have studied Animal Management level 4. And level 5 Veterinary Nursing. So I have an extensive background in animal care and knowledge.

I am happy to meet beforehand so I can introduce myself to both you and your companion and make sure we're a match!

I am confident with all dog breeds and behavioural types and have had experience working with an extensive range of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands and everything in-between.

I am competent in administering medications be it injectable, oral or topical.

I am also able to provide first-aid for your animal if it is ever needed. Which I carry supplies for in my car at all times

I am a full time mum to a baby, but am happy to get my mother to look after my girl for a few odd hours here and there so I can devote my time to your pets and get a bit of fitness back in to my life. Bonus if your pooch is baby friendly (she will stay in pram for majority of walks but obviously if she needs to be taken out then I need to be walking baby safe dogs) .

Feel free to contact me with any questions or enquiries, looking forward to hearing from you!
