Hi! My name is Denise. I am an experienced pet sitter originally from Brisbane, Australia. I am a 26 year old science/journalism graduate working in London as an EA in tech.
I started petsitting with Pawshake back in 2018 in Brisbane, and I have a wide-ranging history in loving and caring for dogs and cats, big and small from a sitter and owner’s perspective. From bichon frises to malamutes to persians to ragdolls, and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Much like humans, I understand that our pets have distinct personalities and circumstances and should be treated as such. I am also a lover birds, rabbits, any animal really. I live a fit and active lifestyle and am more than capable of crawling, jumping and chasing after little furballs. I am dependable, have a can-do attitude and apply myself to every situation I face with gusto.
SERVICES:
I offer house sitting, pet walking and house visit services at short notice. I adjust walking duration and location to suit the individual pet's needs. House visits last for at least an hour, and longer if I have the capability to do so. I am available for long and short term house sits.
Comfortable with administering medication and offer some light grooming if necessary. Also happy to bring in mail, water plants and/or take out bins.
AVAILABILITY:
I work 5 days a week Mon-Fri from 9am-5pm so am available for pet services from about 6pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, and in Holborn on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays. If booking me for a house sit during the week, please note that I will need to be out of the house during work hours for my in-office days.
LOCATIONS:
I am based in Newington Green in Zone 2, but am happy to travel to most areas within London. Also available for house sitting outside of London if on the weekends. Please note I do not have a car so will be travelling by public transport.
I sadly had to say goodbye to multiple regular petsitting clients in Australia, and have included some reviews from my previous regulars in my image gallery. I am certain I can make many pets (and pet-owners) very happy if given the opportunity. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have!
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
This was the first time we were using a cat sitter that wasn't someone we knew, and Denise made the whole experience very easy. Denise was great at communication, looked after our cat very well, and also the flat. We would definitely recommend her.
This was our second time having Denise take care of our cat. As always, communication was excellent and Duchy was very content when we got back.
