About Carolina & David

[English will follow]

Bonjour, ravi de vous rencontrer, je m'appelle David !

Je suis un jeune salarié qui travaille comme professeur de langue durant la semaine, je parle anglais, français et espagnol. Je suis une personne active et tranquille qui aime lire, courir et faire du vélo. Je suis un amoureux des animaux et de la nature qui a eu plusieurs animaux de compagnie, dès un hamster qui s'appelait Dixie à un âne nommé Pepe. J'ai vécu entre la campagne et la ville pendant mon enfance et mon adolescence, c'est pourquoi j'aime bien m'occuper des animaux. Je fais du bénévolat dans des fondations et des événements d'adoption souvent, car je crois que les animaux méritent tous nos soins et notre gentillesse. J'ai de l'expérience en tant que propriétaire d'animaux de compagnie en m'occupant principalement de chiens et de chats, j'aime leur compagnie et créer des liens avec eux autant que possible.

Dans mes services de garde de chats, je propose des visites de 45 minutes où je remplis leurs bols de nourriture et d'eau, je les brosse, nettoie leurs litières, joue avec eux et reste avec eux pendant un certain temps pour leur tenir compagnie et m'assurer qu'ils ont assez d'activité. Dans mon service de garde de chiens, je propose des visites de 45 minutes où je les emmène faire une promenade de 20 minutes, je les nourris et remplis leur bol d'eau, je les brosse et je joue avec eux pour m'assurer qu'ils dépensent suffisamment d'énergie. Si vos animaux de compagnie ont des jouets préférés ou si vous voulez que j'utilise des outils de toilettage simples, je peux toujours le faire pour vous si vous me fournissez des instructions claires. J'offre aussi le service de pension et j'habite dans appartement à 2 chambres et demi, vous pouvez voir des photos de l'endroit dans mon profil. Ici vos poileux pourront se balader en toute liberté et nous leur tiendrons constamment compagnie pendant votre absence. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous êtes intéressé par mes services ou si vous avez des questions.

Hi, nice to meet you, my name is David!

I'm a young professional who works as a language teacher during weekdays, I speak English, French and Spanish. I'm an active and easygoing person who enjoys reading, running and bike riding. I'm an animal and nature lover who has had several pets, from a hamster named Dixie, to a donkey named Pepe. I lived on and off the countryside throuought my childhood and adolescence, and that's why I like looking after animals. I have volunteered at adoption foundations and events since I believe that animals deserve all our care and kindness. I have experience as a pet owner taking care of dogs and cats mostly, I enjoy their company and I like to bond with them as much as possible.

In my cat sitting services I offer 45 minutes visits where I fill their food and water bowls, I brush them, clean their litters, play with them and stay with them for a while to keep them company and make sure they have enough activity. In my dog sitting service I offer 45 minutes visits where I take them for a 20 minute walk, I feed them and fill their water bowl, I brush them, and I play with them to make sure they spend enough energy. If your pets have any preferred toys or if you want me to use any basic grooming tools, I can always do that for you if you provide me with clear instructions. I also offer pet boarding services and I live in a 2 and a half bedroom apartment, you can see pictures of the place in my profile. In here, your pet will be able to roam freely, and we will keep them constant company while you're aways since I work from home. Dont hesitate to contact me if you're interested in my services, or if you have any inquiries.

David provided excellent care for our dog, Cashew, by being both very accommodating and attentive to his needs, including following his routine, ensuring a smooth week long stay. We were provided with daily updates, reassuring us that Cashew was in excellent hands. We highly recommend David and will look forward to requesting his services in the future.

Dog Boarding
Kristi, 2023-02-28

SITTER'S RESPONSE TO REVIEW: Hello Kristi, I’m sorry you were frustrated by your boarding experience, I understand that leaving your pets with someone may not always be easy. Having non-house-trained dogs is always a challenge, and it was unfortunate I could not get to know Sugar until the very day of the drop-off since he couldn’t come to our meet-and-greet. I can assure you that I did take both Sugar and Rudy three times a day outside and they were at ease while they stayed with me, as you can check on the messages and pictures we exchanged during their stay. Unfortunately, I did not know about Sugar’s spraying difficulty either until you mentioned it on the day of the drop-off. Again, I apologize if I may have caused you any stress by keeping you aware of the situation while you were away, and I promise that I will acknowledge your constructive feedback on future opportunities.

I don't like to leave negative reviews, but this is honest and the "care" of my animals created a lot of unnecessary stress on my holiday. I booked David for nine days. Within the first few hours he had already emailed me and attached photos of my dog who had an accident on his couch. He went on to say that "someone" was going to have to pay for a deep clean. The following day I received more pictures of my dog having an accident. Then some more. After three days I told David this was not working out and I would have my partner pick up the dogs. I was very stressed out after David's numerous photos he sent me of my dog having accidents in his home and I didn't like the fact that he was suggesting I would have to pay for the damage.That is a violation of Pawshake as the sitter is supposed to "puppy proof" his home. I told David my dog Sugar was a rescue and he still needs to be watched and not let loose in a new person's home. In fact, Sugar was cared for by another sitter on this site during my Christmas holidays and he never had a single accident, so I can only assume Sugar had accidents because he wasn't walked as much as I asked of David. I first met David for the meet and greet and all seemed fine. David told me he worked from home and that was perfect as I like my dogs to have human company. However, I was under the impression that he would take a lunch break (as most people do) and in that break he would take the dogs out for a quick walk to relieve themselves. I did not know that David works all day without leaving his house for a lunch break. To have the dogs in the house for ~10hrs straight without a bathroom break is inhumane in my opinion, and if a dog sitter can't offer this midday freedom to animals, then they shouldn't offer to care for dogs in their home. This was scheduled to be a NINE DAY dog sit yet it finished at just THREE DAYS. I've made Pawshake aware of my concerns and I suggested that if someone cannot leave their home for such a long stretch of time the they should not be boarding dogs in their home. Dog walking is fine, but not dog boarding.
