Hello, we are experienced carers who have three beautiful cats that rule our home in the Karakallio area of Espoo (02620) for the last 10 years 🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛.
In total, I have around 20+ years owning pets and 2 years caring for them on Pawshake.
About us: Michael is a restaurant entrepreneur with 2 restaurants in Iso Omena and Tripla, and Harri is a biomedical laboratory scientist. We are married and have been together for 11 years, with no children living in Piispankylä. We both enjoy art, music, nature and travel.
Our services mostly include day cat sitting (once or twice a day) or home-boarding and need someone to stay with them overnight in your home 🐈🐈⬛🛏. And the usual obvious basic details such as cleaning litter boxes, feeding, watering, brushing and being with them for 30-60 minutes to play or sit depending on their character/stress level and interaction with me.
I have over 10 years experience with cats of my own. ⏳️
DOGS. As much as I am a cat man 🦹♂️ I also care for dogs 🐕🐕🦺🐩. I prefer walking/housesitting small/medium sized dogs and I can housesit with a much bigger dog if it doesn't require much walking (See below👇).
FYI 🚨 I do not walk large heavy 40+ kilo dogs as I find it too much on my lower back. I won't walk more than 1 dog at a time and have no experience walking multiple additional dogs, so unfortunately I do not want to offer this service, so please ignore the additional dog price on my profile.
We are very clean and tidy people. As part of my fee I will do light cleaning, watering house plants, light gardening duties, laundry (bed sheets) and vacuuming, so you come back to a clean home, which is what everyone wants after a trip away ❤🏠🧽🧹🌱.
I travel by electric scooter 🛴. I can also drive 🚗 so if you live further away from my scooters battery life and have a spare car that I can use whilst your away to travel to and from work, then I'm potentially interested to home board for you and care for your pets if you ae local.
I can also administer diabetic insulin 💉 💊 and other medication orally as we have a diabetic cat ourselves. I am flexible in the mornings or evenings to visit.
In addition, I also have experience looking after rabbits, tortoises, rats, hamsters, stick insects, birds🐀🐢 🐇🐤 and guinea pigs as well as tropical fish🐟. So contact if your pet is more unusual also. Snakes and spiders I'm not really into (but bless them all the same 😱🙏).
My spoken language is English (I'm from the UK)
I can speak conversational Finnish face to face so please drop me a message in Finnish also if you want. Harri speaks Finnish, English and some Spanish 🇫🇮🇬🇧 🇪🇸.
I give a stress free, hassle free, easy, flexible and caring service to you and your pets 🐈⬛🐕🐅🦔🦜🦛🐫🐘🦌🦩.
Look forward to hearing from you and let's meet to arrange a face to face meeting! 🏁👍
*I will always communicate with you throughout the trip if you need updates/reports and photos etc via pawshake. 📸
**Also I will communicate if Harri will be the caring for your pets with me. You can arrange to meet Harri face to face with me also.
***My cancellation fee is semi-flexible.
****The picture gallery shows photos of pets I have been caring for on pawshake this last few years.
*****I also can communicate with you via WhatsApp when the caring is taking place if its easier for you.
Everything went perfect with Michael and Harri. They took good care of our two rescue cats. We were not prepared for our cats to get comfortable so fast with the strangers coming in and taking care of them, but on day two they both were already out of their hiding places. We were more than happy with the good care and the update messages every day. We will most likely use their services again.
Thank you Harri and Michael! They both went above and beyond of just taking care of my cat. I could see on the pictures they have sent everyday that my cat was relaxed and loving to be spoiled. They are real cat dads! :-)
