About Olwen

Olwen is new(er) to Pawshake but has been sitting with Rover in Canada since 2018, and also on Mad Paws in Melbourne since November 22, with 50+ 5 star reviews. 

Comfortable walking the neighbourhood or caring for any size breed in your home or ours.

We have a dog at home, she is very friendly and well-socialised with lots of different dogs in our space.

Having owned several different breeds of dog over the years, we honestly like dogs more than people. We want to be able to help out others with work schedules who have you away from home a lot, or if you don't want to leave your dog at in impersonal boarding kennel while on vacation. 

- We are able to administer medication, pills or liquid form, basic grooming and reinforce training goals 

- We are able to board dogs at our home or yours, host doggy day care and and will maintain your pet's usual routine. 

- Walks or drop-in visits by request from regular clients only.

Olwen can work from home 5 days a week with her day job, while Amy is out during the day so is only available as back up for walks. We can provide round the clock attention. 

Available most holidays and long weekends, will block out calendar well in advance if not. 

Long walks, beach and nature hikes, and snuggles on the couch are a must. Experience working with
reactive and anxious dogs. Comfortable with dogs in heat and unneutered males. Can assist with reinforcing training goals.Vaccinated dogs only please.

Cat sitting and care for other small furry (or scaly!) animals is also possible - just let me know what your menagerie needs! Please do remember to include your feline friend with the booking, even if they aree low maintenance. The add-on cost is minimal and ensures they are covered by Pawshake insurance.

Dog Walking
Tristan, 2024-04-08

Olwen and Amy have been great with my boy Arthur, It's evident that they love animals :) Arthur is not always receptive to new people but I can see by the pictures, he was well and truly comfortable after the second walk.

Communication was consistent and clear and I received a picture and report after each walk. I would book them again if I need a dog walker. Thank you guys once again :)
