Margaux

IMPORTANT: I am only taking requests for more than 2 nights and in central Utrecht or with very good and short connection to Utrecht.

I would love if when requesting sitting you talk a bit about your pet, especially

- their personality

- how often and long they have their walks

- whether and how long they can be alone (I have classes 2-3x/week for 4 hours each)

My history with pets

Nice to meet you! I am Margaux, a Franco-German master student living in beautiful Utrecht.

I've been raised with cats and dogs all my life. It started with my grandmother's two dogs and a cat. When my dad lived in the US, he found two stray dogs, a basset hound and a husky-labrador that are now our long-living family members. I also helped save another stray dog, a German shepher mix, in the park. He was scared of my father, but I could soothe him and put a leash on him (spoiler: my grandfather adopted him, since he didn't belong to anybody). I love spending time with dogs, walking them, training, playing and cuddling with them, but also know to keep my distance if they are shy or not as affectionate.

Since my father's two dogs were rescues, they sometimes get a bit aggressive in the present of other dogs in the park, so I am familiar with nervous dogs and can handle them, however big they may be.

Pawshake Services

I have been doing Pawshake for 4 years.

I only offer house boarding as my current landlord does not allow for pets. Of course we would meet beforehand so that your pet and I can meet, and you can ask any questions you have. I know it can be uncomfortable to have a stranger live in your house with your pet for a bit, so anything I can do to make it a more pleasant experience for you I will do.

For home boarding, I would

I want to make your pet feel safe and at home, and will do my best to ensure that.

Please feel free to ask me questions!

I hope to see you and your pet(s) soon!
