About Nikki

***Belconnen area only.

***I have a full time shiftwork job, on work days visits will be roughly 30 mins duration… days off a bit longer.

***For safety reasons I don’t provide dog walking; or accept clients with chickens because chickens don't seem to like me very much.

I’m that person who stops to pat every dog I see! For several years I used sitters for my pets while constantly traveling for work. I know what it’s like to be away and worried about your fur babies!

Now that I’m not required to travel for work, I’d like to help out other owners by providing excellent pet care. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, & horses. Volunteering at the Canberra Zoo & undertaking a Dip. in Animal Technology has given me experience with mice, rats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits and a bunch of exotic animals. Feeding and cleaning up poop/litter trays/vomit is no problem.I have experience with pet illnesses, identifying behaviors that indicate pain or sickness, and can administer medication/change dressings/apply topical creams to dogs and cats. I can transport pets to any vet if required.

I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you are away, and happy to send updates and photos of my time with your animals so you can rest easy knowing they are being taken care of. I know exactly what I expect with my own pets and will provide that service to you.

I offer one drop-in visit to your home per day, and will feed, water, change litter trays, clean up poop, and can empty letterbox, take out bins and water plants if needed. And the most important, playing with your pet & giving them lots of love and attention!

From the moment I met Nikki I knew she was a dog whisperer. Instead of sitting on the sofa she chose to sit on the floor and surreptiously played with my very shy girl, all the time looking at and talking with me.

I'm just sorry she doesn't do house sitting as I'm going on an extended trip this year and would hire her in an instant. Highly recommend getting Nikki to look after any of your loved ones.
