Pet care experience
Your pups new favourite sitter! 🐾
Hi there! 👋🏻 I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, and it’s always felt completely natural to me. Back in Australia I shared my home with a gorgeous, high-energy staffy, my (very) large and in charge Russian Blue mix cat, and our deeply loved family dog - in her senior years she was deaf, blind, and required a bit of extra patience, gentleness, and reassurance. Basically, I’ve seen it all… and loved every minute! These days, I love pet sitting and house sit for cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities - from playful kittens to calm seniors, and everything in between. Most recently, I spent nine days looking after a shy but curious little tuxedo kitten, keeping her entertained, cuddled, and very much adored while her humans were away. I work from home 3 days a week, which means your pets get plenty of company, consistency, and calm energy. I keep routines steady, homes tidy, plants watered, and animals feeling safe and secure in their own space. I’m comfortable giving oral medication, caring for shy or anxious pets, and adjusting my approach to suit each animal’s unique personality. Above all, I genuinely care. Your pets won’t just be “looked after” - they’ll be loved, respected, and treated like the little family members they are ❤️

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most at ease. I follow routines closely, keep homes secure and tidy, and move gently with shy or anxious cats. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every pet and home with genuine care and respect.
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Nicole. She's so good with Mouse who has really taken to her.
We had the great pleasure in meeting Nicole and welcoming her into our home for just over a week to look after our beloved Cat. Nicole was friendly warm and professional from theoutset. Arranging to meet us ahead of the stay and also coming over the day before to pick up keys and for a final check of everything. Nicole was absolutley fantastic and seemed to have a way with our Cat that not many others do. She connected stright away and was very knowledgable about animals. We had great confidence in leaving her at our home and looking after our cat. Whilst away Nicole kept us fully updated with texts and photos which kept us amused and also allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Upon returning home, the fatat was spotless and the cat wass very relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate in asking Nicole to come and do this for us whenever we go away again - THANK YOU NICOLE, absolute pleasure!! :-) Gary and Claire
Nicole was a lovely dog sitter. She is very communicative, attentive and sent regular updates. She happily arranged a meet and greet before the sit just to make sure Albe and her got along. Albe loved spending time with Nicole and was clearly well looked after. I would definitely use Nicole again 😊
Nicole - what can we say! ❤️ It was the first time we’d left our little Willow with anyone other than family ever and a big occasion at which we were having to do so (our wedding) You cared for our sweet, old girl (17yrs), kept us updated throughout and completely put our minds at ease - we were feeling pretty stressed about leaving her From the very first communication you were brilliant, so communicative, understanding and you listened to all her quirky old dog needs! You are a wonderful person and we’d have no hesitation to recommend you to everyone! For Willow to be doing her old girl zoomies she must have felt incredibly happy and comfortable with you ❤️ Thank you for everything Nicole J&J x
Mouse took to Nicole very quickly. It was great to be able to keep Mouse at home while I was away, helping her maintain her routine. Many thanks!
Nicole was fantastic to work with, she was flexible, caring, and a fantastic communicator. She updated and knew our Nugget was being well looked after. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Whilst pet sitting I limit my activities away from home as much as possible. I work from home 3 days a week, giving your pets plenty of company and consistency. I attend dancing 2 nights a week, on days that I work from home, to ensure I am still present for majority of the day. I also volunteer and attend classes 1 night a week.
