About Nicola
I am an experienced dog trainer specialising in big dogs. I grew up breeding and training mainly red Dobermans (and the occasional errant cat) and whilst it is no longer a vocation for me it will always be a passion.

I work from a home I share with two elderly adopted feline furbabies and am looking for some regular dog walking/training or pet sitting to get out from behind the computer. All walks unless specified would be around 1 hour, with training sessions largely depending on the needs of the animal.

On top of breeding and training growing up and into my early 20s, I have spent many years volunteering in an animal shelter and have always put my hand up for fostering when my living situation has allowed it. I understand that each animal has unique needs and look after them as if they are my own.

I live in the Inner West but am happy to travel depending on the situation. I offer pickups and dropoffs for an additional fee. For visits I am very happy cleaning litters, including walks and tending to all your pets’ needs. I keep my bookings limited to spend as much quality time as possible with your animals.

I am also fully vaccinated and have had two booster shots.

I hope to meet your furry family soon!

Nicola was so, SO good! The moment my doggo first met her, he was happy & comfortable with her. She was kind, thoughtful, asked good questions, & provided lovely updates with each visit. Could not recommend her highly enough.
