About Nicole

Hi there! My name is Nicole, I'm a 24 year old performing artist and I'm a huge animal lover! I would love to house sit, pet feed, puppy visit, walk your dogs or help out with your pets in any way you need. As I'm a renter that doesn't allow pets, I can't have animals stay at my place - that's why I'd love to look after yours!

I have previously worked for SPCA New Zealand and Creature Comforts, a Wellington based petsitting company. I care deeply about the welfare of animals, so you can trust that I will provide your pets with the best possible care. I have previous dog, cat, rabbit, rat, chinchilla, reptile, fish, guinea pigs and miniature pony sitting experience - so I have a broad range of experience looking after animals.

I can provide lots of love and attention for your pet as I work flexible hours. I understand that different dogs have different needs, so I can provide an hour walk each day and more if necessary! If you require housesitting services I will happily provide any care your pet needs - feeding, walking, bathing, poop scooping, giving medication or just some cuddles and company! I can hang out with them in the evenings as well as complete any housekeeping during this time, which means I can spend at least 10 hours a day with your pet, excluding overnight.

I don't have any particular preference of pets because I love them all! I am double vaccinated and can provide proof of a vaccine passport - If you require police clearance I'm also happy to provide that for you. If you have any other questions regarding my experience or background with animals I'd be more than happy to provide you with more information. I hope you would love to have me as your petsitter!

Nicole is an excellent communicator and she took very good care of our two cats. I would use her again and definitely recommend.

Nicole was great! Really cheerful and attentive at the meet and greet, clearly loves animals and Gryff took to her right away. We got timely updates every day with just the right amount of detail on what was going on and photos that made us all feel reassured that he was having a good time ☺. 100% would use Nicole again!
