Nina

I am currently an RSPCA volunteer foster carer with relevant training. I love and adore all pets and do my very best to ensure that they are feeling comfortable and loved at all times. I'm also happy to send you regular updates and photos/videos for your peace of mind! 

I have been working full-time as a pet sitter for the past 3 years, minding multiple dogs, cats, chickens, etc. I have owned two dogs (Alaskan Malamute and Border Collie), and one cat (Abyssinian) whose lifespan was meant to be 7 years (due to medical reasons), but she lived until 18, so I suppose I was doing something right! 

Recently I have switched to part-time pet sitting as I am getting back into work in the film industry. Work in film is very sporadic, I will spend most of my time at home spoiling your fur baby, but occasionally (roughly 2-3 days a month) I will have long shoot days. Due to this, I can only accept bookings for pets who are comfortable being left at home for the whole day if need be (10 hours ish).

Here are details on my services:  

Services: (Dogs, cats, chickens, etc)

Pet sitting:

Dogs (0-10kg) - $65 per night, including a standard 30 min walk each day around the neighbourhood (we can arrange a lower daily rate for longer bookings or if you do not require walks)  

Cats - $40-$65 per night depending on the number of nights (I am happy to negotiate a low rate for long term bookings)  

Home visits: $40 per visit (I can reduce the daily rate for bulk bookings). Home visits are generally 30 min – 1 hour long, and includes feeding, walks, play, changing litter, watering plants, etc.  

Availability:

I am home more or less all day when pet sitting (I may go out for a few hours on some days). Please refer to my calendar for which specific days I am available, my calendar is updated regularly.  

I am usually available in the morning/afternoon for home visits. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss!  

Other info:

- Location is flexible for pet sitting, but I generally prefer to stay within Sydney region + Blue Mountains  

- I have a full license and car for emergencies 

- I have experience administering oral medications to pets 

- House sitting duties are also included in all my services, such as watering plants, taking out/bringing in bins, and collecting mail  

- I always keep your house secure and tidy  

- I currently have no pets, so I care for my clients’ pets as if they were my own  

Although I am new to Pawshake, I have references and many good reviews on other platforms which I am happy to share with you if you would like. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions or to discuss how I can help you out! I look forward to hearing from you 😊
