Hi! We're Rachael and Benni, 26-year-old graduates living in Lymington for our jobs! We have a little cat ourselves, who is our treasure (his name actually means treasure in Norwegian) and we would love to help look after your treasures too! Rachael also has a beautiful old Staffie who lives with her mum! So, now settled into our new place, we'd really love to start some pet-sitting and walking again!
Rachael :
I have been a dog and pet sitter for many years, starting when my sister and I began our own dog walking business in the village when we were about 13. I've got experience with a variety of ages, sizes, and temperaments including looking after puppies from 12 weeks old and up, walking larger dogs like St. Bernards, and walking dogs with behavioural problems such as aggression toward other dogs, or fear of loud noises.
Benni:
As a family we had several dogs growing up and I have always been very fond of animals in general. I have dog and cat sat in the past and love going on a good dog walk, exploring the nature around us. Working as a pair, we're able to give the pets all the love and attention they deserve!
We would love to meet your pet/s first so we can get acquainted, you can help us with any specifications, house security etc. We're also keen plant mums and will happily water your plants when you're away.
We love allll animals and will happily come and check in on your pets, clean their litter, feed and water them etc. Over the years, we have both had a wide variety of animals ourselves including fish, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, stick insects, and a tortoise, so we feel that our knowledge is pretty varied but we are happy to learn about the care of other animals too!
Unfortunately, because we live in a rental, we cannot bring your pets to our house, but we are happy to look after them at yours. We'll keep you updated using pictures and videos so that you don't worry and can enjoy your time away!
We also have pet sitter, walker, and carer insurance, for even more peace of mind.
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
Rachael + Benni were just brilliant. They kept us informed throughout the weekend and seemed to intuitively know how to look after two large Scottish deerhounds. They are polite, intelligent and totally trustworthy, highly recommended.
We recently moved to Chippenham and I have used the same Pawshake sitters in Bristol for years so I was a little nervous coming to a new town. But I could not have wished for lovier, more caring and genuine animal lovers than Rachael and Benni. I am so so pleased we have found them and I could go on holiday without worrying about my fur babies. They kept in contact, sent pictures and definitely read my pet blurb as even turned the tap on during their visit which my cats love! Highly recommended.
