Hey

I’m Jess😊 I'm from the countryside in Ireland originally and have been living in Utrecht for almost three years now. I love the city life but miss my pets!

I grew up surrounded by dogs from Great Danes to Yorkshire terriers, so I’m comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I understand how important it is for dogs to get not just physical exercise, but calm, attentive companionship, love and affection too.

I work regular hours as a café manager (7:00–15:30, Tuesday to Friday), which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to offer consistent, reliable dog walks—perfect for setting a steady routine for your furry friend.

Saturday's/Sundays/ Mondays are my days with most free time , and Tuesday-Fri after 4pm

Outside of work, I’m a psychology student and yoga teacher. I am very active and walk most days for the health benefits—though lately I’ve found myself missing a four-legged walking buddy. I'd love to connect with some dogs (and their owners!) here in Utrecht and help bring a little more joy and structure to your pet’s day.

Whether your dog needs a peaceful stroll, an energetic outing, or just a friendly face in the afternoons, I’d be happy to help.

I also have a large, open plan ground floor apartment, with a large, secure backyard. I would love to look after your pet here, where they would have plenty of space and fresh air !

Services I provide:

Dog walking:

Saturday-monday I am available for multiple dog walks. For a standard length of 20-30 minutes, but more then happy to extend to 1hr+ for extra cost.

I live in Wittevrouwen, so your buddy and I will have Wilhelminapark, Park Lepelenburg, Park Servaasbolwerk and Griftpark to explore! Typically i love to walk the Maliesingel, I think it’s the perfect loop to get out all our energy and play with lots of sticks 🦮🐾

Tuesday- Friday I am available for 20-30 minutes dog walks after 4pm. I do a one hour yoga class most evenings, so just pop me a message and we can work out a time around that!

Dog and cat boarding and daycare:

I have a ground floor open plan apartment in the city centre, with a large, fenced in back yard, the perfect little hotel for your buddy🐾

Here lives Loki, my four year old cat, who is very patient, calm and loves other animals for company!

I live with my boyfriend, a philosophy student who also has a soft spot for furry friends , so if you require pet boarding on days I am in work from 7-3:30, this is also possible as my boyfriend will be home for those hours and keep a watchful eye on your buddy until I return.

Home visits:

Home visits include

20-30 minutes spend administering cuddles, affection and playtime!

Cleaning up any mess made by your pet.

Toilet trips, providing food and water.

Photos and updates sent to you for peace of mind 💗

I came to know Pawshake as a pet mom myself, needing care for Loki while visiting home. As a result I understand the importance of clear communication, trust and responsibility involved in the relationship between pet mom and pet sitter❤️
