About Barbara

Hello!

My name is Barbara Nicolodi, I am 28 years old, and I am excited to meet your Fur Babies.

Having grown up with dogs, cats, and birds, I absolutely love spending time with animals. This experience has taught me to provide the attention they need, care for them, play with them, bathe them, and appreciate the incomparable love they give us. Animals are my life.

I offer a range of services including Dog Walking, Home Visits, and House Sitting, which also includes housekeeping if necessary. I am also able to offer you a Doggy Day Care / Dog Boarding! Although I live in an apartment I would love to welcome your dog into my home. I promise to give them all the love and care they deserve. If your pets have any particular routines or preferences, please let me know, and I will be more than happy to accommodate them. I will ensure your dog is fed according to your instructions, has access to fresh water, and enjoys time outdoors. My priority is always to make your pets feel comfortable and well-cared for. 

Availability:
My hours are very flexible and can be arranged to suit your needs, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening. 

Location: I am currently living in Queencliff, but I can attend around Manly, Manly Vale, Freshwater and other neighborhoods close to these areas. When it comes to house sitting, I'm flexible with location and open to negotiation.  

About the Services:
I can also administer medication to your pet and, if needed, provide training and bathe. 

  • Dog Walking - I usually take dogs for a 30-minute walk, during which we can play, hydrate with fresh water, and spend quality time together. This duration can be extended to meet the owner's needs. I am able to take 1 to 2 dogs for a walk per time. 
  • Home Visits - The visit time starts at 30 minutes but can be extended to suit the owner's needs. During these visits, I can water plants, feed and play with the animals, spend time with them to ensure they feel comfortable, bring in the mail, take out the trash, and handle any other necessary tasks. 
  • House Sitting - The duration of my services varies according to the owner's needs, but typically covers a 24-hour period. During this time, I aim to meet all of your pet's needs, including at least three walks a day, feeding, and any specific tasks as requested by the owner. My goal is to ensure quality time and comfort for your pet. Additionally, I provide housekeeping services to keep your home organized and clean, which includes taking out the trash, collecting the mail, and handling other necessary tasks. 
  • Ensuring the security and health of your dog is my top priority. 

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am happy to provide any references you may need. We can chat here, by phone, or in person.

    I hope to hear from you soon! 💛

    Kind regards,

    Barbara

    Barbara looked after our 3yo lab for 3 days and took such great care of him. Thanks for being so flexible with drop-off and pick-up time.
