About Nikki

Experienced with rescue and nervous pets — calm, fun, and safe care.

Hi, I’m Nikki — an experienced mobile pet minder and dog walker based in Lower Hutt, Wellington. I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 2.5 years and also foster rescue dogs, so I’m experienced with nervous, shy, or rescue-background pets.

Working with animals isn’t just something I enjoy — it’s what I do every day. I focus on calm, safe, and structured care so your pets feel secure and happy while you’re away.

Services include:

  • Dog walking (30–60 minutes)
  • Pet minding visits (feeding, playtime, cuddles)
  • Routine care, enrichment, and companionship

Safety & Comfort:

  • Dogs travel safely in my car, secured and never left unattended for long (only briefly if picking up another dog)
  • Towels and fresh water provided after walks
  • Care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs

Meet & Greet:

A meet-and-greet is required first so you and your pet feel completely comfortable.

You’ll get reliable communication, consistent care, and someone who treats your pets like they’re my own. Let’s make your furry friend’s day fun, safe, and full of love.
