Pet care experience
Friendly & Dependable Animal Lover
I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I grew up with pets and come from an animal-loving family, with my sister being a qualified vet in South Africa. Through her, I’ve been exposed to many different animals and gained a deeper understanding of their care and behaviour from a young age. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets on many occasions, whether for walks or pet sitting for a day or a weekend. I take great joy in looking after their “fur babies” and always care for them as if they were my own. I also worked as an au pair from 2021 to 2022, where I was responsible not only for the children but also for the family’s dogs. My role included daily walks, cuddles, and spending time with them while the children were at school. The dogs were often included in daily activities, including school runs and outings, which gave me consistent hands-on experience in managing and caring for pets in different environments. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, and I focus on making sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also communicative and happy to provide updates, so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment, but I always make sure pets in my care are comfortable and well looked after. If I am pet sitting, I will take the time to provide regular outdoor breaks, including short walks and toilet breaks throughout the day, depending on the pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority, and I ensure they are never left without attention or care. I aim to create a calm, secure environment where they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
A big thank you to Nicole for looking after Indi again t was obvious how much Indi enjoys being with Nicole by India's reaction when I dropped her off. She was so excited to be at Nicole's again. I received lots of photos showing Indi enjoying herself. I will have no hesitation of using Nicole again when I need weekend doggy day care.
Thank you for accommodating the last minute booking. Jonny was happy to return. Thanks
Nicole came across really well and is clearly a genuine dog lover. She communicated well throughout and sent lovely updates, which was really reassuring. She also used the app to log a report card detailing feeding, toilet breaks, walking distance and locations, which was a nice touch. Even in a short space of time, I could tell Jonny was in safe hands and that I could trust her. It was clear he got all the attention he seeks and deserves, and he came away tired and happy, which is the main thing. I’ll definitely use Nicole again as and when needed.
Nicole did an excellent job looking after Indi so that we could have a full day at a music festival. She provided me with photos and updates throughout the day. The updates were very informative and the photos showed that Indi was enjoying herself. Plenty of walks, ball chasing and play with Nicole's friend's dog. All three activities are what Indi likes the best. Nicole also fed Indi as instructed and dropped her off at ours at the end of the day. Everything perfect, we will definitely use her again, thank you so much, Nicole
My family and I can’t recommend Nicole enough. Nicole is incredibly reliable, communicative, and always going the extra mile—whether that’s adjusting walks to suit my dog’s energy levels, sending thoughtful updates, or just making sure my dog feels safe and happy. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such capable and compassionate hands. She always makes sure Rover is having fun and loved! Nicole has looked after Rover many occasions and always puts our mind at ease knowing he is well looked after. Nicole has a true connection with Rover as he is always excited to see her when she arrives with his tail wagging like crazy! Couldn’t thank her enough for loving our boy like her own!
Nicole has been absolutely amazing with our Labrador, Rover. From the moment they met, he took to her straight away and that says a lot, because he doesn’t warm up to just anyone. She’s incredibly caring, loving, patient, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Every time Nicole looks after Rover, we know he’s in safe hands. She gives him so much attention, keeps him active, and treats him like her own. It’s such a comfort knowing we can leave him with someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter, Rover certainly can’t wait to see her again!

Schedule
I offer dog sitting on weekends, allowing me to dedicate my full attention, time, and care to each dog throughout their stay. I am also available for dog walking on weekends, giving me the opportunity to provide relaxed, enjoyable walks where your dog can get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need.
