Hallo!
I am a 31 year old Legal Affairs Officer living with my partner in Amsterdam-West. I grew up on a farm in Texas full of cats, dogs, pigs, and cows. My parents also belonged to several rescue societies and we fostered many needy dogs over the years. This provided me with solid training and experience with repect to animal behavior and how to understand and even intuit their various needs. Being accustomed to having animals around and just generally being an pet lover, Pawshake is the perfect side-hustle for me.
Living in De Baarsjes, I am located within walking distance of Rembrandt-, Erasmus, and Vondelpark. We have a 55m two bedroom appartment on the first floor with a large balcony. I am mostly available for home-boarding, walks, and house-sitting with pets. I work 9-5 / Monday-Friday but for the next six months I am working from home full-time. My parnter and I are keen to get a dog of our own in the near future, so I am especially interested in home-boarding dogs as this provides us with a bit of trial run.
I pride myself on being punctual, capable, and respectful; treating all animals with the utmost compassion and kindness is a central tenet of my value system. Let me know how I can help and I look forward to hearing from you!
Doggy day care and Dog walks always have a flexible cancellation policy:
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.
Benjamin babysat my dog for a long weekend. My little guy is not the easiest (needs medication, is a little handicapped, and gets momentary but acute separation anxiety). I will trust him with my house & my 4 legged baby any day :)
Ben was a great sitter! We went away for three long weeks, and he came twice a day for the entire time to take care of our precious kitties. He sent photos and spent quality time playing with them. When we got home, the apartment was left nice and tidy. We would happily recommend him to others!
