Hello dog lovers, I’m Michele! I grew up with several different pets and I love them, especially dogs and birds. I’m a Designer from Brazil, where I used to be around a lot of dogs from family and friends besides having had my own (a poodle mix) for over 17 years.
After moving to The Netherlands I began learning English and with the help of my partner, started working as a Dog Sitter. That helped (and still does) me practicing the language and, with the dog's company, feeling less lonely. I communicate well in writing but sometimes it’s a bit difficult for me to speak well. During this time in Amsterdam I have gained even more interest in learning about dogs so I have frequently read about dog behavior and training.
We already had over 25 different dogs with us, from puppies and young ones to elderly and with special needs. They also were from several breeds like: Maltese, Corgi, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, Pug, Beagle and some mixes from Bichon, Chihuahua, Westie, Pomeranian and others. Each dog is unique, has its habits and schedule that need to be respected and we’ll try our best to keep their routines, even if we also have another dog with a different one.
Living near Funenpark and Oosterburgerpark, it's a perfect place for walking dogs. Our home is very quiet (and cozy), has a balcony and our building has a closed inner courtyard where dogs are allowed. We know that they love to be next to us (and even steal our spots sometimes) and they are more than welcome on our couch, however we normally don’t allow them to sleep in our bed.
If you're looking for a loving and responsible person to take care of and give many cuddles to your dogs, look no further :) I'll make sure to keep you updated with photos, videos and any other relevant information, so you can connect to your dogs while you're away and be sure that they are having a great time.
Note: The dog daycare service is for around 8h, when you need to go out or when you are working during the day. If you need help during the evening, this service is also possible but with the condition that you will pick up your pet before 22h. If you want your pet to sleep here or stay for more than 8h, you need to request a Dog Boarding that includes a sleepover and lasts up to 24h.
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.
Tosia always have an amazing time with Michele! Every time I get a lot of pictures of her, truly recommend!
This was our first time using Pawshake and leaving Jawa with a sitter in the Netherlands. Michele and Gabriel were fantastic! After our relaxed meet and greet in their amazing courtyard, they kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos of Jawa. It felt great to know he was having a fun day while our kids were also having a blast at the carnival. We have already become repeat clients!
