Hi there! I'm Scott, a British expat based in Amsterdam with my girlfriend Katie who is also from the UK. We live next door to Westerpark, with lots of beautiful and peaceful walking routes. We joined Pawshake because we are passionate animal lovers, and would love to meet new furry friends, we see this more as something we love doing than a job. 😀
We often work from home so we can attend to your dog or cat whenever they need, and can adjust our schedule to fit their needs. We prefer to book 1 dog or cat at a time so we can ensure that our time and quality of care is up to the highest standards. 🐶
We are happy to accomodate a nice play day for your dog, whether they like to go to their favorite dog parks, long walks, or just chill and cuddle in the house, we are happy to provide what your dog loves. We understand all dogs have different personalities and needs, so we are happy to follow your instructions and schedule to make your pup feel as comfortable as possible. We hope we can make your dog's staycation a special and memorable retreat! 🐶
We both like having a cat around us and have enough love and cuddles to give! 🐈 ☺️ We also both like to play with your cat when he/she is playful. We can feed your cat several times a day or give medication if necessary. We clean the litter box every day. Of course, your cat gets clean drinking water every day. We accept a maximum of 1 booking at a time, but if you have multiple cats, I can also take in two cats at the same time. 🐈 🐈
❤️About Us
My name is Scott, 32 years old I and from Scotland, UK. I live with my English girlfriend Katie, who is 31. I am a keen walker, I walk at least 10-12k steps a day so and would love to bring a dog with me. I love all animals, and I grew up with our family boxer named Murphy. 🐶
Katie is a huge cat lover, and used to foster cats whilst she lived abroad in Hong Kong. She would take them in for 1-2 months before they were rehomed permanently, looking after a variety of breeds and personalities. 🐱
🏡 About our Home
We own our apartment in Amsterdam. Our apartment is 2 minute's walk from Westerpark, very handy for any dog walking that is required :)
☀️🌷What a Day Looks Like
We have no children or other pets so can put full focus on your pet having the best time possible!
I work in the Energy industry and Katie is a fashion designer. Both our roles allow us to work on a hybrid basis and therefore are often at home during the day, and are able to take lots of play breaks and also walk your dog however many times as they need.
If we have a cat, then it would only be alone for maximum 1 hour in a day if we were both out at the same time for any reason.
We are responsible and conscientious people and would love to take care of & enjoy the company of your furry friends :) Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions!
Katie & Scott watched my dog for a couple of days. They did a great job! They would sent me updates of her everyday; pictures and videos. Letting me know that she’s okay. Very good communication. I could tell my dog was well taken care of and felt comfortable. Would definitely recommend them!
Katie and Scott have been AMAZING. My cat had a bladder infection on the first day of his stay, they acted super quick, were ready to bring him to the vet (on a Sunday) called me straight away and managed the situation flawlessly(after one day my cat was well again) I cannot thank them enough. I got daily updates, pictures and videos, I could see my cat was being himself and HAPPY. I will be booking again for sure, if you are looking for a pet sitter in Amsterdam I could not recommend them enough, they were 10 out of 10!
