Kia ora, i‘m Nicky, 36 years old and live in the North East Valley Dunedin. I have enjoyed a wide variety of pets growing up including dogs such as Labradors, Poodles and Pit Bull Terriers.
I regularly walk/run after work and during weekends - it would be my absolute pleasure to have a canine companion to do this with.
I’m experienced with other fur babies including rabbits and cats too.
About my profession: I’m a primary school teacher. I also run a teaching program with the council teaching children how to be safe around dogs and the correct way of approaching animals.
I love and adore all animals. Currently renting and cannot have pets. I‘m passionate about animals and exercise and would appreciate the opportunity to combine both, whilst providing a friendly and reliable service to you.
What I can offer:
Peace of mind that your animal be it dog, rabbit or cat will be looked after to all your requirements.
Long dog walks early morning/evening Monday-Friday as well as during weekends.
Home visits/services- I can administer oral/injected medication, clean rabbit, cat or dog trays, and organise feeding (as well as give cuddles/attention). Whatever you require.
Good communication & updates on your pet's wellbeing. I check Pawshake & my email regularly being a busy teacher and can respond quickly if you need any assistance.
Transport: I own a 4WD should your dog require transportation to and from places (or to take to dog parks/ go on long hikes). You can also drop your dog off at my home and we can walk from where I live, as there are many suitable dog places nearby.
PLEASE note that Pawshake takes 19% of any fees listed - therefore the amount pet walkers/sitters receive is much lower.
Look forward to meeting you and your pet.
Nicky
Nicola was great... looks after our rabbits with lots of care and no fuss. Goes the extra mile! Would happily recommend.
Nicola is great. Goes above and beyond and knows her animals. Left our rabbit hutch cleaner than it usually is! I'd happily recommend her and ask her again. Thanks Nicola
