Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, playful & always by their side 🐾
Hi! I’m an aspiring dog mum who’s in love with caring for pups, from fun-filled day sits to cosy overnight stays. I grew up with two lovable Labradors, and since they sadly passed, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a dog mum again as an adult. I’ll treat your dog like family, keeping tails wagging with walks, playtime, and endless cuddles. My work is super flexible (they can even come to the dog-friendly office with me!), so your furry friend will always have company and care.

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely fantastic stay for Murphy! Nerissa was so nice and genuine and send me so many updates about the little guy and his little weekend break ☺️ Can only recommend and when in need for a dog sitter, I know where to go! 💕
Nerissa was fantastic! She took great care of Rafi and communication was super smooth throughout the entire stay. Rafi came home happy, healthy, and well-rested. Nerissa is incredibly reliable, professional, and genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book again!!
We’re so grateful to have found Nerissa! She took amazing care of Mochie while we were away. Lots of updates, photos, and genuine love for our pup—it really put our minds at ease. From regular updates to making sure every detail of our routine was followed, she went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Nerissa was great with Marlee and was very flexible as we picked her up quite late. Marlee had plenty of walks and a Friday night out!
I have worked with Nerissa on at least 4 occasions, each time with different dog with different attitude and needs. But she has handled them all well. We needed her to sit the dogs for the day, bring them out for walks, feed them, even feed them medications once. She is also always accommodating on one occasion we needed her to walk the dog more frequently that day as he was having constipation. We wanted to make sure he did his big business for the day, Nerissa walked him many times until he finally “managed”. She even took videos and photos throughout to let us know he he is safe and well - which was very attentive and appreciated! Our dogs also typically seem to enjoy spending the day with her and excited when they see her again. Definitely recommend her services.
Nerissa walked my Pomsky (13kg) on my work from office days. She is very kind and takes good care of my boy. Would recommend Nerissa if you want a good companion for your furry babies :)

I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and the rest of the week your pup can join me at my super dog-friendly office, so they’ll never be short of company or cuddles!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious 2-bedroom flat with a large balcony, so your dog can enjoy fresh air within safety boundaries. Just downstairs, there are plenty of parks — including one dedicated entirely to dogs — as well as beautiful walking routes through the wetlands and along the canals. Whether it’s a quick sniff around the block or a long scenic stroll, your dog will have plenty of variety and stimulation to keep them happy and engaged.
A typical day
I would typically stick to the pup's daily routine and keep it consistent to avoid much change aversion. A usual day kicks off with a morning walk or a little time at the parks, then it’s breakfast and either playtime or a nap — totally up to your pup’s mood and usual routine. I’m lucky to live right by a scenic wetlands, so we often head out for peaceful nature walks, full of sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Back at home, your dog will have a cosy, relaxed space with lots of love, attention, and activities that suit them best — whether that means games, training practice, or simply chilling out together. I’ll also send you regular photo and message updates, so you can see they’re happy and well looked after. 🐾✨
