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
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!
We had a fantastic experience with Nicole who dog sat in our home for 10 days. From the start, she was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about animals. Despite having a very busy schedule, she was still happy to arrange a meet and greet before the sit, which we really appreciated and it helped us feel completely comfortable leaving Kodi (who can be anxious) in her care. Nicole stuck to Kodi’s routine exactly as we asked, and it was clear throughout the stay that he was very well cared for, exercised, and given lots of attention and affection. We also received regular updates, photos, and messages while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to enjoy our holiday without worrying about Kodi at all. We came home to a very happy, relaxed boy, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter, she’s a real gem 😊
Nicole followed all the instructions to take care of my dog, asking for clarification where needed and updating me during the day. Thank you!
Nicole took good care of my two babies (cats), while I was away. It was my first time leaving them so she kept me updated daily with pictures of them. I came home to a clean house and two happy babies. I would trust Nicole to stay with my babies every time I am away.

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.
