About Nicola
I've owned and cared for everything from chickens to dogs and horses to cats. I've also got a degree in animal behaviour, so have a really great understanding of pet training and ethics. But overall, I just really enjoy spending time with animals and helping their owners understand their behaviours.

Pet sitting: Can be used for up to two hours' sitting at your home within working hours (7am - 7pm). Alternatively, up to 12 hours overnight (between 7pm - 7am). Remember to add on any walks you'd like me to do while I'm there.

Pet day care: Please select this option for two to eight hours' sitting at your home within working hours (7am - 7pm). Remember to add on any walks you'd like me to do while I'm there.

House visits: These are just for quick in-out checks and feeds if you're unable to do so yourself. Remember to add on any walks you'd like me to do while I'm there.

Training: Included is a meet and greet to discuss your needs, plus a bespoke training starter pack and in-person session to assess your technique and understanding. I use Learning Theory as the basis for a scientific, ethical, and effective training method - no 'alpha dog' here!

Walking: Varied walks, including parks and road walks for up to one hour.

I am currently unable to host pets at my home, and rely on public transport to make my way around the city, so I’d prefer to stay within the inner northern suburbs.

Rodney seemed to have a great time with Nicola! She was very responsive to our messages and kept us updated with great photos on their walk. Would highly recommend!
