Justyna & Rodrigo

Hi :) I'm Justyna.Together with my boyfriend we love to take care of pets. Both loving nature and animals since forever 🌻We joined Pawshake for the pure joy of creating awesome memories with lovely pets that brighten each of our days ☺️ We mostly work from home. I'm a graduate of International Law but for a while now I'm pursuing a different path as a yoga teacher🧘🏻‍♀️🌺 We are both blessed with time to meet new furry friends 🐾 We treat each dog or cat or other pet very individually, we are interested in getting to know their past, characters, likes and dislikes, fears, joys and we will not want to change them in anyway. Each is unique and all are perfect to us! So we will try our best to adapt to their needs. So if you want to tell us about your dear pet for 5 minutes or 1 hour we will have all the time you need...

At the same time we want to point out we are not trained professionals, so we ask to not expect that from us, we give love and safety. If you need dog/cat certified experts or behaviourists please choose someone else.

We want to be seen more as 'nice grandparents' that kids visit...

Dog walking (18 euros for one walk) : 

Taking your doggy for a walk. Usually, I will walk between 40 - up to 60 minutes (max). If you want me to take your dog to a nearby park for longer walk or just in front of your home for a moment, it is all fine by me.

Home visit (20 euros for one home visit) :
I can also come to your home and spend some time with your dog or cat. Feeding, playing, cuddling ☺️ For 30-up to 60 min.

2 x Home Visit (40 euros)

House Sitting - at YOUR home (24 hours) + walks (50 euros: for whole day and if needed including night) 

It is best to see it as if you would book a 'hotel' for 24 hours :) So if I come for example at 10.00 in the morning, the next day at 10.00 in the morning the service ends. 

What is it exactly?
Short stay (up to 4 days) : I bring some of my stuff and then I can stay at your home ☺️ Sometimes it's me alone and sometimes it's my partner alone. Or us both. Especially for short stays. Our stay of course also includes walks and whatever you ask us to do and whatever your dog / cat needs.

Longer stay (more than 4 days): Until now with all the house sittings we did, pet parents welcomed us both with our dogs to stay at their place. It might sound a bit overwhelming but it actually works really well if you know your pet is fine with that ☺️ From experience we see that it's like an adventure for them, something so out of ordinary ☺️ And it is lovely to see how dogs learn new things from each other with 'new siblings'. So that is an option too, especially for longer stays, usually with this situation your pet is not left alone much.

If you need help for a longer stay but prefer for us not to bring our dogs, best to just text me, and we can see what can be done :)

Please be aware that for longer stays (few weeks), we need to do other things as if we would live at our own home. Of course we will try to limit it as much as possible but we need to do other work (laptop, or actually one of us will have to leave home for few hours for work), go for food shopping or visit family, the basics. If your dog is a puppy or senior or has separation anxiety it all can be talked through and we can prepare for that.

Dog Boarding: (50 euros) 

Your doggy is very welcome to stay at our place. We do have two dogs that need a moment of time and patience to get along with other dogs. They have their preferences too and we see immediately whether they will get along with other dogs or not. One time meeting outside and then second time at our home is already fine. So please have that in mind ☺️We have spacious home on 3rd floor with a big balcony to enjoy. We have no rules other than basics. Your doggy can feel at home here. And you can bring whatever they need. Sleeping in our bed is also allowed ☺️🥳And like with house sitting, with house boarding we also observe pets really treat this as adventure. They get to do new things, meet new friends and are curious all the time 😇 

We are flexible, we are available mornings, afternoons and evenings. Best is to just write because I keep my calendar always available. So we can discuss options. 

And even if I might not be available during the dates you need care. Also text me. Sometimes I might find time based on what you need 🐶

I would like to meet your dog/ cat at least once before I will walk them or stay with them ☺️

If you would like to meet without any dates but just to get to know us we are happy to meet ☺️

If you live in other city/town than The Hague we can still help out but we kindly ask to cover the costs of travel for public transport (one person of course) for the time of the booking. For our first meeting we of course do not ask to cover costs of travel.

Thanks for reading through and your interest 💚
