I love all animals and started working as a petsitter regularly a few years back( 2016?) via Pawshake , and also through word of mouth and recommendation. I am now ready to resume more regular activities and while I already have an established group of fur clients outside Pawshake, it doesn't harm to have more.
I love the pets I have had the pleasure to look after and i think animals make the best teachers, no matter what their species is!
I HAVE A LARGE DOG called Rimbaud...in the past, I only kept turtles and lizards but became a dog mum myself 6 years ago! This has made my life better but my flexibility a bit less, although I still manage to petsit through boarding at my home and never stopped doing so. Rimbaud is a gentle soul and has never shown behaviour issues with my dog boarding fur clients, but meet n greet are a must before a booking.
Due to him I expect dogs I will take care of to be vaccinated. And dog friendly as a rule, but happy to try a meet up as Rimbaud is VERY laid back.
We are lucky to live on Lamma Island in a quiet area with no cars, but by the sea, surrounded by mountains and greeneries too. This is a great spot to keep dogs and provide adequate exercise for clients, daily walks, and beach fun when appropriate.
I try to follow closely any directives given by pet parents and happy to discuss compromises when no other option is available. I also keep dogs leashed and only long stay of obedient dogs or repeat clients will be allowed off leashed(closely supervised ) periods, and only if the clients are keen to have that happen. Safety is paramount.
When I'm not petsitting, I do pet portrait, fashion styling, home decorating, writing and relax watching movies and TV shows at home. I'm also a vegan, unlike my dog and reptiles.
NB: * I try to keep my calendar updated but if in doubt, contact me via call or SMS and I will then forward other means of communication
**Fees displayed are for one dog only and if more, there will be an additional fee.
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
Loulou looked after our shy Yorkshire Terrier for 6 nights while we were away, and we were so happy and comfortable knowing that she was with Loulou. She gave us regular updates and photographs, and really made the effort to make sure that our dog was happy.
Loulou is fantastic and I will definitely be asking her to help us with our doggy next time we’re away!
Loulou was a great sitter who spent time to make sure the cats were happy every day. She took good care of the cadres and sent us lots of photos so we could see how they were doing
