I'm a complete animal lover and am super passionate about care and conservation. I've owned cats and dogs since I was 15, from the world's best behaved elderly red lab, to young puppies, to my Romanian rescue dog Wendy - who has taught me a lot about training, patience and dog psychology over the last 6 years! I have trained her from a completely reactive, anxious pup to a more confident dog, so I am well versed in handling anxious dogs and have a soft spot for rescues. But... I love them all equally!

When it comes to your pets, I'm happy doing it all - playing, walking, grooming, practising training, caring or simply someone to keep them company. I'm new to Pawshake but have had lots of experience petsitting for family and friends and on other platforms, including week long stays with nervous rescues, elderly dogs and dropping in on cats for feeding and cuddles. I've used petsitters from various platforms (and all have been amazing) so I totally understand the trust required to look after your furbabies - rest assured I'll give you plenty of reassurance including messages and photos for each visit.

I'm freelance and work from home so can do pet visits throughout the day in the week and at weekends. Usually I'll stay for 30 minutes for feeding, water top up/toilet break/litter clean and cuddle - but can do longer if needed. I can also look after the home including watering plants and bringing in mail. I also offer longer stays if your pet requires companionship or supervision, as well as house sitting for overnight stays whilst you are away to include your pet's evening and morning routine.

When it comes to dog walks, I live next to Norwood Country Park so have plenty of lovely nature to explore! I'm happy walking nervous dogs on the lead or those who can be let off, and can walk up to two at once. Dog walks can be between 30-60 minutes.
