Hi, my name is Nicole. I offer a range of petsitting services such as home visits, pet sitting and dog walking. I have over 15 years experience of looking after peoples beloved pets.
I come from a family of animal lovers and have grown up with different kinds of pets my whole life. From a young age I have done a lot of voluntary work with different animal charities helping them raise money or taking in animals in need to help find their forever homes. I would regularly help my mother who also had her own pet sitting business and I loved having the opportunity to look after other animals and to take care of them as if they were my own.
I decided to join Pawshake beginning of last year because of my love for animals and find nothing better than spending my time dotting over beautiful furr babies. I currently have two cats that I adopted from Cats Protection, Bowbow who is 4 years old and Cloud who is almost 2.
I recently needed a pet sitter myself for my two cats so I know exactly how daunting it can be leaving them in the care of someone else but please be assured I am a very patient, loving and kind person and your pets care and wellbeing being my no.1 priority.
I have looked after:
Nikky came over twice a day for 8 days to look after Marvin recently when we were away. From the start she was professional and lovely; came over twice before to say hi to Marvin and to grab the key just before we went. You can tell she has a lot of experience with cats/animals and was very caring and sweet to him.
Marvin is quite a needy and attention seeking cat! But she handled him perfectly, sent daily pictures of them playing together and getting his food which made us feel very secure leaving him. He definitely warmed up to her which is the biggest compliment as he is very particular about who he likes. It was a load off our minds because we consider Marvin a member of the family and he was looked after so well. You can tell she is a very kind and caring person which I think is the most important thing looking after animals, and as she genuinely cared for Marvin. Any messages/questions we had were answered within the hour as well.
We will definitely use her service in the future!
Good communication and regular updates with photos. Am very happy with Nicole's care. Thanks.
