Hi, I'm Jason and I love animals.

My regular job has peaks and valleys of activity so Pawshake allows me to keep myself fully employed during the lean periods of the year (holidays) as well as giving me plenty of exercise walking other people's dogs. I'm happy to visit your pets, play with them, clean up after them, talk to them, cuddle them, subject them to my hilarious photo captions, and generally spend time caring for them. Your pets are guaranteed at least half an hour of personal attention each visit. As well as the usual tasks of cleaning the litter box, feeding them and replacing their water, I'm happy to do extra chores like collecting mail, taking out bins, and plant watering.

I will send a photo update after every visit if you wish. I can accommodate some last minute bookings and special requests, please feel free to ask. Cats and dogs are my preferred animals to care for; however, I'm comfortable looking after some other animals, too, so please inquire if you have additional pets. Especially chickens... subject to egg tax. ;)

Housesitting is popular, if you want to book me for house sitting try to do so at least 6-8 weeks in advance of your departure.

Covid precaution!

I am currently limiting myself to a maximum of 3 'meet and greets' each week. This reduces the complications if someone tests positive and everyone I meet has to get tested too. It also helps me maintain a healthy work-life balance. I am sorry for the delays this is causing, but I think we can all agree the last thing you would want is for your pet sitter to be put into quarantine before you go on holiday!

For Christmas bookings, please don't leave them to the last minute! Book in November or earlier if possible.

My catchment area covers the following Suburbs:

Armadale, Malvern, Malvern East, Balaclava, Windsor, Prahran, Carnegie, Caulfield, Saint Kilda, Saint Kilda East, Elwood, Elsternwick, Hawthorn, and the southern half of Richmond.

If I'm fully booked, but you live in Armadale, Malvern or Caulfield, message me still because I can usually squeeze in local visits without much hassle.
