Hi, my name's Becky and I've been petsitting with Pawshake since 2023. I've been around cats since I was born and when I'm living at my family home, enjoy spending time with my mum's very fluffy cat Jack (he is the black and white cat in my pictures)!

Having spent my whole life around cats, looking after them when my family are away and house/catsitting for my brother, I know exactly what is required to keep a cat happy (normally food, brushing or a good chin scratch). I've formed friendships with neighbourhood cats at university, cat cafe cats and even a cat that came into the reception of my gym a few times. 

Since I was young I developed a deep love for dogs and have looked after a housemate's family dog (an adorable cockerpoo puppy) for a night, dog-sat a friend's border collie and used to take a friend's neighbour's dog for walks anytime I visited. 

However, it's not just cats and dogs. I've owned gerbils, guinea pigs and fish and am happy to learn about any other lovely pets that form part of your family. I've also helped look after a friend's tortoise and chickens and a Pawshake customer's snake before, so I'm used to unusual pets as well! 

I'm available in the evenings and at weekends (working a 9-5 during the day, 3 days in the office, 2 working from home). I am currently based in central Woking and have a car. I'm happy to drive up to 10-15 minutes from home for visits and dog walks.

What I can offer: I currently offer dog walks and house visits, during which I can groom, feed, cuddle, play with, exercise/walk and help to train your pets as needed. I've administered medication to guinea pigs before and flea-treated cats, but if given instructions I am happy to learn to administer any medications your pets may need.

For home visits: I can stay as long as needed depending on what you require, though typically 30 mins to 45 mins is enough. I can also water plants (I'm a big plant lover myself!), take in mail and packages and any other small tasks you need me to do. 

For dog walking: I can do one-off walks for up to an hour either in your local area or my own. I will research any local parks near you and will follow your requirements regarding whether your dog can be let off lead or not. My car is not fitted out specifically for dogs so if you would like me to drive your dog to a specific park, you will need to provide any blankets or equipment for car travel. Unfortunately I'm not available for regular dog walking at this time.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them :)
