Nina

I am currently an RSPCA volunteer foster carer with relevant training. I love and adore all pets and do my very best to ensure that they are feeling comfortable and loved at all times. I'm also happy to send you regular updates and photos/videos for your peace of mind! 

I have been working full-time as a pet sitter for the past 3 years, minding multiple dogs, cats, chickens, etc. I have owned two dogs (Alaskan Malamute and Border Collie), and one cat (Abyssinian) whose lifespan was meant to be 7 years (due to medical reasons), but she lived until 18, so I suppose I was doing something right! 

Recently I have switched to part-time pet sitting as I am getting back into work in the film industry. Work in film is very sporadic so there are days when I have long shoots (I mark myself as unavailable for these days on my pawshake calendar), but apart from that I spend most of my time at home, which means I get to spend a lot of time spoiling your fur baby 😊 

Here are details on my services:  

Services: (Dogs, cats, chickens, etc)

Pet sitting: Dogs - $70 per night, including a standard 30 min walk each day around the neighbourhood (we can arrange a lower daily rate for longer bookings or if you do not require walks)  

Cats - $40-$65 per night depending on the number of nights (I am happy to negotiate a low rate for long term bookings)  

Home visits: $40 per visit (I can reduce the daily rate for bulk bookings). Home visits are generally 30 min – 1 hour long, and includes feeding, walks, play, changing litter, watering plants, etc.  

Availability:

More or less all day for pet sitting (at your home). I may go out for around 2-4 hours some days. Please refer to my calendar for which specific days I am available. My calendar is updated regularly.  

Home visits availability is limited at the moment but can be arranged (usually in the morning or late afternoon) Please feel free to get in touch to discuss!  

Other info:

- Location is flexible for pet sitting, but I generally prefer to stay within Sydney region + Blue Mountains  

- I have a full license and car for emergencies 

- I have experience administering oral medications to pets 

- House sitting duties are also included in all my services, such as watering plants, taking out/bringing in bins, and collecting mail  

- I always keep your house secure and tidy  

- I currently have no pets, so I care for my clients’ pets as if they were my own  

Although I am new to Pawshake, I have references and many good reviews on other platforms which I am happy to share with you if you would like. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions or to discuss how I can help you out! I look forward to hearing from you 😊
