About Nicola

Hi there, pet owners! I'm Nicola, a dedicated and experienced pet sitter who understands the importance of providing top-notch care for your furry friends. With two adorable rescue cats of my own—Jimmy and Clover—I know firsthand the joy and companionship that pets bring to our lives.

A lifelong animal lover, I will treat your beloved pets as if they were my own. Whether you have a lovable cat or a friendly dog, I'll ensure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away.

With a genuine love for both cats and dogs, I am well-versed in their unique needs and behaviors. I'll make it a point to understand your pet's preferences, whether they enjoy cuddling, playing, or simply relaxing. 

While having fun is important, I also understand the significance of maintaining routines. I'll follow your instructions meticulously, ensuring that feeding, medication, and any other specific requirements are taken care of. I will ensure your home is secured, any alarm systems turned on, when I leave I double check doors are secured. I can also water your plants if needed, bring in mail and put out/in garbage bins. Standard visit time is 30 mins.  

Whether you're planning a holiday, a weekend getaway, or simply need some help with your busy schedule, I'm here to help. Allow me to provide the love and attention your pets deserve, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

I provide home visits (feed, play, change litter trays etc) and dog walking services. I can take photos and videos of your animals and send them to you so you can feel reassured that they are happy, safe and well loved while you are away.

I service the following suburbs: Dulwich Hill, Marrickville, Lewisham, Petersham, Summer Hill and Hurlstone Park.

Services I provide:

1 x 30 min visit to your home ($30 per day)  

2 x 30 min visit to your home ($55 per day)

1 x 30 min doggy walk ($30)

1 x pet sitting in your home/overnight stay ($125)

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Nicola was very clear in her communication. She kept us up to date about her visits and even tidied up a mess the cats made breaking plant pots. Way above and beyond the call of duty! Thanks Nicola!

Dog Walking

This is the 4th time Nicola has helped me to have a great holiday by walking Pete our elderly and somewhat crazy dog. Nicola treats Pete like her own, is very professional, completely trustworthy and can handle any situation that may arise. Highly recommend Nicola to care for your fur-kid if you want peace of mind while away.
