Hi all, Michelle and Ken here 👋🏻
Animals always bring tremendous joy to us and we love every moment spent with them! We grew up with dogs as our pets though we don't have one of our own since we moved out of our family homes. But we would still love to spend some quality time and cuddles with fur buddies 🐶🐱so we started Pawshake two years ago and thoroughly ENJOY and LOVE doing it!
We are located in nice little suburban Whenuapai (in Northwest Auckland, sandwiched between Kumeu, Westgate and Hobsonville). We have numerous parks located in our neighbourhood which makes it perfect place for dog walking and other activities.
What do we offer?
1) Most important thing: 24/7 love, affection, care, cuddles and belly rubs for your pets ❤️
2) Frequent updates: Cute videos and photos of your pets, to help reassure that they are having their best staycation 🏖
3) Walks and adventures: We will take your dogs out for long walks at least twice a day (the length can be adjusted to suit your dog's need and weather). During weekends we'd love to bring our fur buddies to dog parks, reserves or beaches with us to have fun and to be close to nature (if the weather permits). 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ 🐕
4) Parks near our house: We have a couple of parks in our suburban neighbourhood which is just less than 2 minutes walk from our place. Pretty sure the pets would enjoy the outdoor space and sun! 🌳
5) Netflix and Disney +: We love to cuddle our fur buddies while we enjoy movies and dramas at night together, some doggies are really into movies aha! 🍿
We are happy to arrange a meet up with you without any charges before a booking is made. For day care (generally 8 hours care). For boarding (usually 3pm onwards to the next afternoon). Happy to discuss timing that suits you.
Your pets will have our full attention under our care. We have a strict policy of not taking more than 2 pets at any one time (and we will let you know in advance if we have another pet at home to let you have peace of mind that they could fit well together).
Vaccinated, toilet trained and up to date with flea & worm treatment pets are all welcomed :)
Thanks for reading and can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 💛
NOTE: we work from home mainly on Fridays or Mondays, do contact us to check our availability!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Michelle was incredibly caring and reliable. She always kept us up to date and shared photos throughout the day.
Our Darcy absolutely loves her days at Michelle & Ken’s! Very obvious that Michelle gives Darcy her full attention and keeps her entertained all day as Darcy comes home a tired pup! Sleeps right through until the following morning ❤️❤️
