I am a 27 year young professional living in London, originally from South Africa. Back home I live on a farm, with four dogs, and I miss them every day! Our farm also hosts horses, cats, pigs, guinea pigs, a tortoise and a hedgehog! I love animals and grew up surrounded by them, so coming to a city and not having contact with animals was a bit of a shock for me. This is my reason for pet sitting, I just love being around animals and would happily take care of any type of pet you have.
I can administer medication, have experience volunteering in animal welfare, and experience with rescue pets. I can offer your dogs refreshing walks around the city, or at the nearest park, or simply keep them company if they have recently had surgery, or need to be taken to the garden to relieve themselves. The services I provide are dog walking, home visits and house-sitting. Unfortunately, I cannot host as my apartment will not allow for it.
For dog walking, I can walk your dog for any time that you have specified. If the weather is not permitting, I can offer alternative forms of exercises for your dog indoors. I will also make sure your dog has the correct amount of food, water or bedding once I leave them, and I will lock up your home accordingly. I work remotely, so the time of day that I am needed is flexible, therefore please discuss with me your preference.
For home visits, I will visit your home to check up on any of your animal(s). I will make sure they have the correct food, water, bedding and clean up any mess, cage or litter box. I will also spend time with your animal for whatever amount of time you have specified, or take them out into the garden to relieve themselves. I can also collect mail and take out the trash, and I will lock up your home accordingly. I work remotely, so the time of day that I am needed is flexible, therefore please discuss with me your preference.
For house-sitting, I will stay overnight at your home to be around your animal(s) all the time, so they feel safe and comfortable and are not alone. I work remotely, so as long as I have a WiFi connection, I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only leaving to shop for groceries. I will perform general housekeeping around your home, such as collecting mail, taking out the trash, watering plants and keeping the house tidy. I will spend time with your animal(s), and take the dog(s) out for walks for however long you have specified. I will make sure they have the correct food, water, bedding and clean up any mess, cage or litter box. I will make sure to leave your home in the same condition as when I arrived.
I have years of experience and have used Pawshake for years in Belgium and in the UK, with many happy customers. Your animal will be in great hands with me, and will get plenty of exercise, love and attention!

Georgina was a great house and cat sitter. We have two elderly, somewhat neurotic tabbies, both of which need medication twice a day. We were away for 9 nights - and when we came home we were delighted to see our tabbies were healthy, well-fed, and calm. Georgina is patient and organised. She also sorted our post and left the house very clean and tidy. We would definitely hire her again and recommend her highly to others.
Georgina house-sat for the best part of a week while we were on holiday. We came back to a spotless house and a very chilled cat! I would highly recommend Georgina for your all your pet care needs.
