We are a very fit semi retired couple who love animals; we enjoy a 'pat and hello' with cats and dogs on our daily walks. On our walks we often feel for dogs waiting at the front gate for their families to come home and say how we would love to offer to visit; Pawshake is the answer! 

Our daughter has had a dog walking business so we're au fait with walking etiquette and mindful of the trust and care that her clients put in her - she has made lots of friends (animal lovers always have lots in common). Our family has always included at least 2 cats (ragdolls and moggies) and our daughter's dogs; they have never stayed in kennels or a cattery ~ if we are away we have a family member or neighbour come in to feed and entertain! 

We would love the opportunity to help with daily cat and/or dog home visits in the Rangiora area. Give us a call to arrange introductions all round (pets and people <3). We are available and would of course be happy cover off access and security arrangements to your home when we meet.

We are very flexible and available for home visits mornings, afternoons and evenings working around your requirements in terms of length of visits (usually a minimum of one hour) and activities that your beloved pet(s) will enjoy. 

Why should you contact us? 

• Genuine time and attention. We're semi-retired (nurse and business consultant) so we're never rushing to the next job. Your pet gets our full, unhurried, loving attention for at least an hour.
• Familiar routines. We will listen carefully to what routines, care, and activities you require e.g. Cats - clean litter tray and spend time with the cat; Dogs - spend time engaging and playing with the dog(s), brought out to the toilet; Puppies/Senior Dogs - clean up any mess made by the dog.
• Reliable and flexible. Mornings, afternoons or evenings, we'll work around you, whether it's a single day or regular visits.
• Experienced and trustworthy. A lifetime with cats and dogs, and a daughter whose dog-walking clients trusted her completely. We take that trust seriously.
• Peace of mind. You'll get updates from us including photos/videos.

Call us to arrange a meet and greet today. Your pet will get our full attention and a lot of love.
