Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy, responsible and keen pet lover
Animals have been a constant source of joy and companionship throughout my life, and my passion for pet care runs deep. Growing up surrounded by pets, including my dear Shih Tzu Lady, a bunny, and a hamster, I’ve developed a profound respect and understanding of animals of all kinds. Though I’m not currently in a position to have a pet of my own, I find great fulfilment in providing care and affection to pets in need. My experience in dog walking and pet sitting has allowed me to care for a variety of wonderful breeds, such as Corgis, Spaniels, Beagles, Maltese, and more. My priority is to create a loving and secure environment where pets feel at ease, ensuring their happiness and well-being while their owners are away. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top concerns, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel right at home with me.

Nikola did a fantastic job looking after Bella and our home while we were away and sent regular photo updates which was lovely. Bella had never stayed with anyone else before, so we were nervous to leave her but Nikola was so kind and great at communicating throughout. We would definitely recommend Nikola to anyone looking for a sitter.

Schedule
I currently work full-time but only commute to the office twice a week, with a 2 pm finish on Fridays. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pups during the day and on my lunch breaks when I'm working from home. I’m also available on weekends and weekday evenings after 6 pm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to pet care, I prefer looking after them in the comfort of their own home. Building a strong bond is important to me, so I always make an effort to meet the pets a few times beforehand. This allows us to get familiar with each other and establish trust between myself, the pet, and their owners. Before any long-term stays, I like to spend both supervised and unsupervised time with the pets. This helps both of us feel relaxed and comfortable around each other. I'm a firm believer in showing compassion, so I spend plenty of time playing with and talking to the dog to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
A typical day
On our first day together, I enjoy taking the pup for a walk around their neighborhood, sticking to familiar areas. I prefer local walks, allowing them to explore and take the lead. I also try to choose routes with plenty of greenery and conveniently placed poo bins for their convenience. Also, I've got a clean driving record, so I'm happy to provide pick-up and drop-off services for your dogs whenever needed during our home visits.
