Hello! We are Britt & Jordan, partners living together. Our profile is a little long to read, but has a lot of information about us and what we offer to help you feel comfortable from the beginning! Please read through and let us know if you have any questions. Sadly, we recently lost our two senior dogs - Bruce the Greyhound (12) and Max the Maltese Shihtzu (16). So, we have a lot of time and love to give to your furry family members. We both find a lot of joy in caring for animals, they bring a lot of life and entertainment to what could have been a boring day! We love observing their personalities, their quirks, and learning what they like and don't like. Despite our profile mostly having dog photos, we also love cats and would be more than happy to care for them at your place, so please don't hesitate to contact us for cat care as well! Experience We are experienced with quirky personalities and less social dogs (and cats). Max was originally nervous and reactive in the home, so we have a lot of experience to help us care for animals who share the same personality as Max. Bruce was reactive on walks around unfamiliar dogs, so we also have experience in this field too, especially advocating for their space. Not every dog has to meet each other on walks. Our time with Bruce and Max also gave us a lot of experience handling multiple animals at once, both walking outside together and keeping them occupied in the home. Services We can care for your pets while you are on vacation, in the day while you're at the office, or just for a night or weekend while you go to a party. We can accommodate almost anything! All services include both our full care and attention to any special requirements you may have for them, such as medical or mobility requirements, or extra attention & affection. They can hang out with us anywhere in the house: living room, bedroom, and our offices. Jordan can easily carry and pick up a 35-40kg dog that needs some assistance with stairs or getting into a car. Boarding & Day Care For boarding/day care, we walk the dogs minimum of 2 times a day (30-45mins each walk) with focus on the dogs stimulation and sniffing rather than focusing only on distance. If more is required, we're happy to accommodate. We can take multiple doggy day care bookings and separate any dogs that require being alone on different levels, hanging out with one of us on each floor of the home. We can walk them together so they get to know each other or walk separately as well. At this time, we are only accepting completely house trained guests. House Sitting For house sitting bookings, at least one of us will stay at your place (maybe both of us depending on other bookings). We can water the plants, feed the fish, and hang out with your pets all day/night while we work from our laptop or play some nintendo/watch some movies. We can visit for an overnight stay, or just a daytime/evening stay, whatever you need. Supervision, Adventures & Updates: We both work from home, so when caring for your family member we will balance our commitments with each other to ensure there is always someone at home, or visiting them at your home. In any emergency case where we must both leave the house, we can monitor the living area with a doggy camera. We also would love to take your dog with us on any car rides and adventures, which we can discuss with you ahead of time. So we prioritise taking them with us rather than leaving them at home. You'll also receive some regular daily photos and updates. Our Home Our home is a row house on a quiet side street with no road. We have three levels with carpet traction on the stairs. We have Max and Bruce's bed's still set-up in our living room, bedroom, and office rooms, as well as a big basket of toys. Water bowls are always accessible on both levels. We also have natural air dried treats to share. It's a very pet friendly environment with the little details already thought about for our own dogs when they were still here. Rates & Scheduling Our listed prices on Pawshake are the base rates for our care.We have some extra charges for weekend care, early mornings, and late night care. Any other special requests can be discussed! We like to do our meet & greets on Tuesday/Thursday evenings where possible. If our services interest you, please reach out! We'd love to hear more about your little (or big) one and see if we will be a good fit for their care. We like to meet out in a neutral setting like a walk or a park to build some familiarity before introducing them into the home.
