Hi there! We are Lara & Mike, Irish and polish expats living in Amsterdam Noord, near the NDSM. We would love to look after your furry friend if we can.
We had our sweet girl Bee, a German Shepherd, pass away last September. After 12 years, 3 countries and a long and happy life she left us all too soon. We are not yet ready to welcome another dog into our lives yet as we are still processing this loss, however we miss having a pet in our lives hugely. This is where you come in!
Mike works a rotating shift schedule and Lara is a 9-5er with two wfh days, so our schedule is very flexible. If you need someone to walk your dog or check in during the day, or need a longer term overnight day, we are happy to accommodate. We will also send you regular updates on how your pooch is doing throughout their time with us. Send us a message and we will get back to you.
We live in a modern high rise apartment, so there is no issues with stairs as we have an elevator. There is an outdoor area in the building (can see it over our balcony) and plenty of outdoor grass just beside the building. We also allow your pet full access to the apartment, so they can cosy up on the couch or bed with us. We want them to feel comfortable!
We are happy to do a meet and greet beforehand if you wish. Please note we will need to confirm our availability during the enquiry since the calendar only blocks when a booking is confirmed. Hope you understand :-)
This was my first experience with Pawshake, booking daycare for two consecutive days for my 13-week-old bully pup, Lilo, with Lara and Mike. I’m very happy with the excellent care they provided. Both Lara and Mike were incredibly kind, caring, and, most importantly, attentive to Lilo's needs💗. They made sure she was comfortable and kept her as close to her routine as possible. Lilo was very happy and content, sleeping peacefully when we returned home 🥹.
I’ll definitely be booking with them again 🙌🏽. Thank you both!!
Booked day care for a second time with Lara and Mike and Nala had the best time, she is always so happy to stay with them. They keep her active and play a lot in the park, I received regular updates and photos and have already booked an overnight stay. Highly recommended sitters.
