Information Nikky J. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely must know what their favourite toy is. For senior pups, I’m happy to carry them when they give up walking. In fact I’ll probably insist.

A typical day

A typical day will consist of snacks, playing, napping and taking pictures. I live near Williamson Park so we can go make other furry friends together and enjoy the sun, or the more common muddy puddles. I also drive so we can visit some local trails together.

Sit. Stay. Relax. We’ve got this.

Pet care experience

I grew up with many dogs over the years - from Yorkies to Staffies, puppies to seniors. I’ve looked after pets for ex-employers, friends, and family. They would all say I provide too many photos and pup-dates - your pet will have a model album from their stay. Please note house sitting request prices may change dependent on mileage.

Nikky has a very calm and confident energy that made me feel comfortable as soon as I met her. My boy is very anxious when I leave him, so to know he has a friend who chats away and reassures him when I’m gone. She gave me updates and was super chill about the quirks of both my wonky house and my particular pup.

First time Teddy had stayed away from home where I didn’t necessarily know them. Nikky picked him up from mine which helped me out massively as I don’t drive. She sent me updates throughout his stay including photos. This made me feel a lot better about being away. She updated me when she dropped him off also. I’ve already asked Nikky to look after Teddy again!

Thank you so much for looking after Gunner. You made us feel at ease from the get go. Would recommend and use again!

For as long as I’ve known Nikky, I’ve always known her to be the biggest animal lover. She always has time and patience for animals big or small, and is her happiest self with a dog or cat on her lap. My kitten has major anxiety around anybody new and spends days in hiding, but with Nikky she somehow was venturing out and sniffing her feet within a matter of hours. Her calm energy tied with her love and playfulness speaks for itself, and I’d trust her with my fur babies any day of the week.
