[NEW to Pawshake community; lower introductory rates, high quality care and love!]

I love animals, if it has to be narrowed down I am more familiar with dogs and cats but if your household has more than these two - with careful instructions, I will gladly take them on. And yes, plants included!

WHO AM I? A 30-something working professional with a corporate life but looking to take a break, hence the spare time. My elderly dog passed on last year, and I decided not to get another for now. Instead, I borrow the love and cuddles of my friend's pets, and I look forward to yours! I currently have a cat (that's Yuri Sleeping Beauty, a British shorthair, in my profile photo) living with me hence I can't host any, but if we get to know each other more and your toilet trained dog can vibe with my household, we can explore doggy day care. I currently do day care or pet sitting with some of my friend's dogs, the ones that are Yuri-approved of course :)

OFFERING: plenty of love, encouragement, and photos to ease your mind.

For dogs: walking min. 1 hour (or whenever they tell me it's time to go home, cause you know some days are just bleah), proper playtime or just sitting by them for company if they don't want to play or walk anymore. Flexible with some asks as long as reasonable within our shared limits (dog + human). I'm quite skilled with giving medication too. I'm fairly petite, and can handle all small to mid sized breeds. For larger breeds, I'd need to get to know your dog better and we can do trial walks for us to get comfortable. Would prefer 1:1 for large dogs, and up to 2 (we can discuss for >3) dogs. I do my best not to mix dog walking jobs unless your dogs are already familiar as a pack.

Pet sitting (house visits or overnight):

For cats & dogs: visits will take at least 1-2 hours, am flexible if you have more than 1 pet. This will include cleaning litter area, enrichment/playtime, water change, feeding (plus clearing of food area after), grooming (brushing, clipping nails only if I'm allowed to), plus photo taking, loads of encouragement, pets and comfort! We can do training if that's your thing.

Overnight stays will be mostly about your pet, general housekeeping (I will clean up after myself so it's like I was never there). I'd be contactable through phone at waking hours if you like to video call. Rates can be discussed for out of norm services.

Must haves:

1/ Your trusted vet contact for emergencies; while I hope everything is always smooth sailing, pets are generally unpredictable and honestly some hate it when you go away and do funny things when you're not home

2/ while I don't need to see their vaccination or updated medical report, I would appreciate if you're upfront about any health conditions

3/ A call w human/meet up with pet+human before we move to next step. Especially for pet sitting services, I want this to be a safe space for all of us and maybe it can lead to a long term engagement

Currently providing for the east of Singapore. Central can be discussed as long as convenient for me transport wise.
