Pet care experience
Full-time pet sitters, new to Rover
We've been looking after pets – both our own and our family and friends' – for as long as we can remember. We're both from Australia, but since May this year, we've been pet sitting our way around Canada while on working holiday visas. We've looked after energetic shepherds, packs of pooches, cats on medication, young pups and senior felines. With every pet, we learn (and love!) a little more.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We are extremely reliable house sitters. Reviews on our THS profile routinely talk about how owners come home to happy and relaxed pets, and a very clean home (sometimes even cleaner than when they left!). We know the level of trust it takes to let a stranger into your home, and we are extremely respectful of that.
Ratings and reviews
We were very appreciative of Nicola and Tom’s house and dog-sitting service. They looked after our 1-year-old rescue dog, as well as our home and yard. Our dog has a few behavioural issues but Nikki and Tom were very kind, patient and competent with her. They were very kind to limit how much time they spent away from her and took time for long off-leash runs in the bush which was very brave as she does struggle with recall. She was able to sleep in her crate, even though sometimes she is not keen. T and N communicate very well and we had lots of time to go over things. We also got picture and video updates! Above and beyond. They took care of our house, lawn, and flowers, so it was a pleasure to come home to everything watered outside, the linens and towels laundered, and the house sparkling and clean. So positive.
Amazing dog and house sitters. Our dog was well looked after and very happy. The photo updates were appreciated.
I can highly recommend Nikki as a very competent dog walker as she and her partner, Tom, cared for our 4 dogs for a few weeks this past summer, whilst we were on holidays. Nikki has great energy which was exactly what our active dogs needed and she spoiled them daily with good long walks. Our dogs absolutely loved their time with Nikki and Tom and they were super excited to see them a couple of months later when we had a chance to meet up with them while camping in Algonquin. We and our dogs can only hope they will come back and stay with us again, should they make it back to Ontario.
