Hello dog lovers! I am new to Pawshake, but I have been dog sitting since my beloved Beagle Banjo passed away last February. I miss him dearly but my wife and I want to travel so we don’t want to get another dog of our own – yet.
Next best thing? Give our love and individual attention to your beloved pet.
Accordingly I would like to offer my services as a dog sitter/boarder/host for your fur baby in my home in Parkwood on the Gold Coast.
I will look after your dog exclusively. Your dog will be the only pet at my house whilst I am caring for him or her.
I am a semi-retired, long term dog owner and dog lover. Having lost my own dog recently I am keen to see and hear the patter of doggy paws in my house once more.
I work as a part time writer from home so your dog will have company and supervision nearly all of the time.
My wife and adult daughter will also be home during the evenings to keep your dog company.
If your dog is toilet trained he or she will have the run of the house and be kept indoors with my wife and I - but we have a doggy door/flap so your pet can go outside to a fenced off backyard at will. We will leave the back door open if your dog can't use the doggy flap.
During the day your dog will sit/sleep by my side whilst I work from my home computer desk. At night your dog will sit on the couch with us as we watch TV – before accompanying us to our bedroom to sleep in comfort for the night.
We also have a kennel/dog house on our deck just outside our bedroom sliding door – should your dog prefer to sleep outside.
Your dog will also be walked twice a day to my nearby park and treated like a member of the family.
Please note that I am happy to care for dogs up to 12 years old providing they are in good health. Also my house has a stairwell from my deck to the backyard - so your pet needs to be able to walk up ad down stairs. Please refer to the photo in my profile gallery.
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.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
We couldn’t have been happier with Jeff and his lovely family. Our dog Freddie is very active and can sometimes struggle when we go away. But Jeff made sure that all of Fred’s physical and mental needs were met (and more), and significantly reduced his anxiety. Jeff went above and beyond for our Freddie, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much Jeff.
Thank you so much Jeff for looking after Teddy. He enjoyed all the daily walks you took him on, and I would definitely use Jeff again to look after Teddy. Highly recommended. Thanks again.
