About Nicola

Hello!

I'm Nicola.

I'm a mature professional living in Central West Auckland.

Pete and I house sit for owners both in and out of the city. We love animals and have experience with different dogs, cats and other animals and needs. I work from home and can give your pets lots of attention.

We will look water your plants and make sure your home is safe and sound. We can send updates including photos.

We are currently unavailable for doggy day care while we do some renovations.

For longer sits, we will video phone or meet to go through your instructions.

Please let us know if your dog has any particular behaviours such as anxiety or medical concerns.

We will sit for pets that are toilet trained, with up to date vaccinations that are worm and flea-free.

We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Further information

Our house and pet sitting in your home including feeding animals, giving oral medication, walking 1-2 times a day for 30-60 minutes, grooming, collecting mail, watering plants, sending updates of their care, picking up dog dos in the garden, vacuuming, taking out the rubbish and keeping to their daily routines and training.

We take up to 2 dogs per sit, as long as they are fully trained and well behaved.

Dog walks are at least 1 x 30-60 mins or 2 x 15-30mins.

I work from home and leave no longer than 2 hours. I drive and I'm happy to take a dog or dogs with me.

I am available during weekdays and weekends and will usually take dogs for a walk in the early morning before work.

For house sits, please don't forget:

- Send me a message with your pet feeding and tablets instructions with photos if necessary

- House instructions

- Leave the lead, dog do bags, treats if you have them in an obvious place

- Wifi instructions and any notes on your pet or house that we may need to be aware of

- Tell us where your cleaning equipment is
