Hey, I'm Jo! I am a naturally curious person, and recently came back from a 4 month trip in Europe. I am currently on a career break, so I have full availability. Previously, I was working in Sales & Marketing at an international tech company. I love meeting people (and four legged friends), from all different walks of life and I wanted to continue this by being able to lend you a helping hand and peace of mind while you're away :)
Regarding my pet sitting experience, I grew up with a shih-tzu for 12 years, so it is very intuitive for me to pet sit as I have 15 years of taking care of animals. I have petsat professionally in the past, so I am very familiar with accommodating to different dogs and their unique needs. I am very experienced with looking after animals that are elderly, require medication, or with dietary and behavioural issues. I am mindful that many pets require medication, so to put your mind at ease, I am more than comfortable with administering medication. I last looked after an elderly 18 year old Maltese, which involved liquid medication via syringe in the dog's mouth, as well as placing a pill directly into his mouth.
I am here to make you and your pet feel comfortable, so please don’t hesitate to let me know what preferences you and your pet have, as I understand all pets are different :) I am readily available and ensure I am a fast communicator when petsitting to give you the peace of mind that I'm always here to assist. Whether that be a text or photo update, I'm here for you!
Trust and reliability is something I value highly, therefore I am also seeking to foster a relationship with pet owners to take care of your pets on a regular basis, as I miss the four legged companionship! Whether you want to pop away for a spontaneous weekend trip, I'd love to become your go to pet sitter you reach out to :)

Jo was absolutely amazing.
This was the 1st time we have used Pawshake & had a petsitter & l will definitely recommend Jo to my family & friends & book her again in the future.
Both of our pets were extremely well looked after. Jo communicated with us daily & met our pets prior to looking after them. Thank you so much Jo for everything, we knew that Harley & Indy were well taken care of from the photos you sent us.

Jo was an incredibly conscientious sitter. We needed a 24/7 house-stay petsitter for our gorgeous cat while we were abroad for a month. Jo was communicative, was proactive with arrangements, and kept us updated frequently with how our cat was doing (who we were missing so dearly!). We could not have asked for a better 24/7 catsitter, amazing service!
