Availability

I am currently taking a purposeful step back from traditional working patterns to focus on my health. This transition has provided a wonderful opportunity to dedicate energy to my love for animals. Because I am not tied to an office desk, I can offer a level of flexibility and presence that a lot of sitters can’t which allows me to be there for your pets whenever they and you need me most.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a responsible and attentive sitter and will make sure that their safety is a priority at all times. Whilst in your home caring for your pet(s), I will treat your space with the utmost care and respect leaving it clean and tidy for your return whilst watering any plants and accepting any deliveries if required. I have completed Pet Sitting and Dog Walking and Pet Psychology certifications (see photos) and I also have a clean DBS check and fully insured.

Information Nikki G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special dietary requirements that your pet has as well as any medical needs and vets details. It would also be helpful to know of any regular habits/routines they have and their favourite toys!

A typical day

Your pets can expect a lot of fuss, love and cuddles whilst I am looking after them as well as lots of play time to keep them stimulated and happy.

Reliable pet care you can trust

Pet care experience

I have had the joy of loving and taking care of a range of pets over the years, both my own as well as friends and family pets. These range from cats (indoor and outdoor) and dogs (from dachsunds to huskies) to lizards (geckos, water dragons, bearded dragons) and even a quaker parrot. Every pet has a different personality and I will take the time to really get to know them and build trust with them, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved with plenty of cuddles or space if that's what they need. I am experienced in administering medication and strictly adhering to complex raw or restricted diets as well as maintaining humidity and heat cycles for reptiles. I am available for both house sitting or drop in visits but I do have a health condition at the moment which affects my mobility therefore dog walking is not a service that I am currently offering unless all your dog requires is a short walk around the block or letting out in the garden. However, my partner is happy to sometimes help out with longer dog walks if needed, especially if required as part of a longer house-sit until my mobility improves and if he is available. He loves animals just as much as I do and also has similar experience to me in walking high maintenance dogs like huskies. I understand that it can be nerve wracking leaving your beloved pet with someone else whilst you go away so I am happy to have a meet and greet beforehand so you can get reassurance that you are leaving your pet in safe hands - just send me a message to arrange. Whether your pet has fur, scales, feathers, I promise that I will treat them with the same expertise and affection that I would give my own pet.

Nikki was amazing looking after our two dogs. She send a lot of photos and videos to reassure me they were both doing ok. Specially my eldest dog who I was a bit worried about. The dogs were happy and very comfortable with her.

It was our first time booking Nikki, and also our first time having someone look after Fiadh in our flat. Add in that Fiadh had just had her spay and was still in recovery. Nikki was fabulous from point of meet and greet to her calm and reassuring presence on the night. Fiadh settled quickly with Nikki and as a result we were able to go out for the night feeling calm. We highly recommend Nikki and look forward to seeing her again.

Nikki was amazing with Teddy! Regular updates, followed instructions perfectly, handled his anxiety with care. Teddy was happy, relaxed, and safe. Highly recommend—will book again!
