About Yvonne

We are a retired couple Yvonne and Iain with two wee doggies again. We have adopted 3yr old Flossie Lowchen) so our Maisie is able to overcome her grief at the loss of her old buddy who died of cancer aged 12. Maisie and Flossie love playmates but are chilled if guests prefer peace and quiet. 

On occasions in the past we have required dog sitters when going on an overseas holiday. Thus we know what dog owners want when leaving their darlings in the care of strangers. So we have decided that now in retirement with time on our hands we can provide that home away from home for your fur babies so you can relax and enjoy your planned holiday or last minute emergency knowing your darling is safe and loved.

While we are new to Pawshake, we are well used to having friends' dogs board with us over the many years we have been dog owners. And, as a retired registered nurse, I know my way around medication and special diets. We just ask that dogs/puppies are fully vaccinated, 16+weeks, and toilet trained (our home is carpeted).

If your furbaby is okay with our pair then we are happy to have them share our loving pet friendly home. No dog house here.

We have been so lucky to find Yvonne as a sitter for our English cocker spaniel. It was our first time we have left our dog with someone else. Our dog is not much social but Yvonne managed to make great contact with Sonia. From the photos and videos that Yvonne sent us regularly, we could see that Sonia had really good time with Yvonne and her dogs. Thank so much Yvonne!

First time using Pawshake and couldn’t have found a better sitter. Yvonne was very accommodating, agreeing to an in-person and doggie meet & greet prior, and was flexible with change in drop-off and pick-up time. Proper dog household with lots of toys and doggie beds. Great communication with daily photo updates. My younger dog can be a bit anxious, but appeared to enjoy snuggling with Yvonne’s husband in their armchair and was comfortably settled by day two. Thank you Yvonne! Will be in touch when I need a sitter again.
