My name is Stephanie. I'm 35 years old. I joined Pawshake over a year ago. I wanted to be a pet sitter since I love spending time with my own dog (and tortoise 🐢😉) and my family/friends pets of all kinds. So I knew this work would be very enjoyable for me. I love all animals and I am a very kind and caring person so ideal for this type of work.

I initially took this on as a second job and didn't expect to get many customers if any! But this year I've had a lot of customers and cared for a lot of pets, far more than I expected! And I've loved it as I thought I would. So I would now consider potentially doing this as my full time job if I make up enough bookings for longer term, consistent customers rather than just randomly when free as I am now. So I'm now happy to be contacted about potential longer term bookings aswel as short term ones. I would be happy to do a short trial with a discount for any potential customers who may want a long term booking so that you can see if I'm a good fit for you and your pets and to give you time to decide if this is something you want to continue with long term. Of course I'm also happy to continue to do what I have been over the last year additionally for anyone who only  wants short term, random bookings for holidays, working away etc.

In terms of exact services, I'm open to pet sitting/stay overs in the owner's home, day care at my home and will pick up and drop off if the owner requires this, one or more visits a day and walks. My only restriction is I can only walk small and medium dogs (up to 11kg) just because I am so petite! I am happy to sit and visit bigger dogs though and have a big garden for them to exercise if they are at mine. I have spent the same amount of time visit cats this year as well as dogs so I am happy to help with any cats and possibly other types of pets if it's a good match. 

In terms of experience, I have now been walking, providing day care, sitting and visiting pets on Pawshake for over a year now as stated. I am certified in dog walking and I have of course been a sitter and walker in my personal life to help out friends and family before.

I hope to hear from you soon and enjoy taking care of your gorgeous fur babies ❤️ Stephanie x
