I am a professional, registered sitter. I also know cpr for animals as well as first aid.

I have over 25 years experience with taking care of and training pets. I work with dogs and cats. I have worked with various rescues as well.

I am a dog trainer and am comfortable working with animals with behaviors.

I also do pet and people photography so I know how to really work with animals and read their body language.

I do this professionally as a registered business through the KVK. Because I am a legal and legit business, my fees are a little higher than others. I pay taxes on my income and had to raise my rates a bit. What that means for you is you are getting a professional pet sitter. This is my job. Not a side hustle to make extra money. That means your animal gets my full, undivided attention and of course a bunch of extra love and cuddles.

I am experienced in dealing with all kinds of dogs and their behaviors. I am able to give medication and attend to the needs of senior or disabled dogs or cats.

For cat visits- I feed and change the water for the cat as well as clean the litter box and play with them. People think cats don't need attention and don't mind being alone. This is untrue. Cats miss their owners and feel sad and need love and cuddles just like any other animal

For overnight stays- I keep your dog on the routine that you currently have with them. It's already stressful enough for them that their people are gone, so I make sure that their routine stays the same. I don't go to another job or school. This is my job (as well as photography and graphic/web design). So when I am with your animal, I am completely with your animal. I only leave to go to the grocery store. This allows me to be able to give your animals the time and attention that they deserve. I also do not take other sits/walks when I am on an overnight sit.

I do offer dog training as well. I have been training dogs for over 25 years and have experience with all kinds of specialized training, for example, hunting, puppy, aggression, and separation anxiety just to name a few. So I am well qualified to take care of your fur baby!

My schedule is very flexible and I am available on short notice. I try to be very flexible because I know how much I love my dogs and how picky I am with the person who watches them, so I want to offer that same level of service that I expect. I have plenty of references outside of Pawshake.

I don't mind if you want a security camera set up.

I know it's scary to leave your fur babies with someone else! I'm more than happy to provide whatever you need to make that a little easier! I send pictures (or videos if requested) every day along with an update of how things are going. I also send pictures of the furbaby just being themselves so that you can see that they are happy and relaxed.

I, unfortunately, can't take your dogs/cats at my house.
