Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m 23 and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been the person who gets excited when there’s a dog nearby, and I even begged my parents for years to let me have one. They finally gave in when I was 10, and that’s how Lucky came into my life! He’s a Maltese Shih Tzu (now 13 years old) and quite honestly the best boy I could have ever asked for. I also grew up with bunnies, including my childhood bunny Rocket! Over the years, I’ve had plenty of experience caring for animals and have pet-sat for friends and their families for months at a time. My most recent pet sitting was Teddy, a foster dog who cannot interact with other dogs, so I’m comfortable following specific routines, boundaries and individual needs. I’m happy to care for all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats, and I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting. Since my own pup is 13 now I’m very familiar with caring for senior pets, including feeding, medication and making sure they receive the extra patience and attention they need. My typical walk duration is 30 minutes but if your pet needs more time I'm more than happy to do so just let me know. I usually walk dogs around centennial park or around coogee near the dog park, but of course happy to go wherever your pups fav places are. My home visits are the same and can be suited to your pets needs. When house sitting I am happy to follow your pets exact routine so they can feel as comfortable as possible without you being there. I'm happy to fed, do walks and play at any time of the day. During a housesitting stay I'm very reliable and ensure the home is secure and clean. I'm also happy to supervise your pups for as long as they need. I’ve recently returned from travelling and am currently not working, which means I have an extremely flexible availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m reliable, trustworthy and genuinely care about making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and will always take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines and needs.
