Howdy! Shiva and Sep here. Loving connection with pets in eastside Munich 🐾

Background
I’m a software engineer, Shiva is a freelance illustrator based in Munich who would like to soften and deepen their day-to-day experience of life, and tame its sometimes boring, repetitive days by taking time off work and connecting with stranger animals who sometimes tend to become long-term friends.

We live with our two cats these days, but we used to also live with our two dogs, who passed away a couple of years ago, but still live in our heads & hearts. We used to volunteer at local animal support shelters back in the day when we were younger. There we supported & befriended huge and even unfriendly aggressive dogs.

Services
As our work schedule has changed recently, we can no longer offer dog walking/jogging. These days, we only offer home visits to take care of pets, which includes 30 to 40 minutes of quality time with them.

Grooming and administering oral medication is not a problem if your pet is used to it. Watering your plants, picking up mail, and cleaning the litter box of the household kings & queens 🐈👑 is, of course, on the menu.

We cook no-sugar protein-rich, taurin-enriched chicken breast for our cats every single day. We include essential vitamins for their heart and overall health, like Omega-3, CoQ10 and Vit-E. If you're also concerned about sugar-rich low-protein commercially-sold canned food, it'd be easy for us to make your pets a quick, healthy meal that they will get used to & love gradually.

Requirements
To make sure nothing is lost in the translation verbally & that everything goes as planned, we would ask you to write down & send over a list of requirements and tips for the service you are expecting for your beloved pets & plants; just as we do for the petsitters, we hire. 

Attitude & Trust
Shiva and I use Pawshake services as pet owners all the time. You can be sure that we will take care of your loved ones with the care we expect from our petsitters and the love we express for our own pets. Well, maybe a tad less at the start!

To establish a base level of trust, please feel free to arrange an introductory meeting. If you are booking for home-sitting, you can, of course, ask to get a copy of our IDs as well. Furthermore, you will get our personal numbers and the address you can visit us for a cup of coffee to be sure you know who is taking care of your loved ones.

Communication

After your booking is confirmed, our communication will remain constant unless you want it otherwise. You will get:

- Updates, photos and videos of your loved ones every single time we visit.
- You will get dog walking report cards with time, location and distance metrics.
- We prefer English, but can manage German on a basic level.

Further notes

For two dogwalks per day, please arrange two different bookings. One could be house sitting as two dogwalks is not yet supported on Pawshake. 

We include half an hour walks with each dog house sitting, for more than that, please also book a dog walking service on the side. 

For house sitting services, while we do our best to be flexible, please be considerate about our time and arrive on time. 

I guess that's it. Looking forward to befriending your pets & plants.

Cheers,
Shiva & Sep
