Hey there, I’m Nikki! Although I'm new to Pawshake, I'm an expert in fluffy tails and wet noses! With over 10 years of experience, I'm your girl!

I’m a local with South African roots who has always had a huge love for pets, and growing up with them around, it was only natural that I’d end up as a pet sitter. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, and I truly enjoy making every pet feel right at home.

Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just some good ol' companionship, I’ve got it covered. From energetic pups to the most chill senior cats, I treat every pet like family. When you’re away, your pet is in good hands with me—safe, loved, and spoiled! Trust me, your pet will be wagging their tail or purring with joy the moment you’re gone! 

In addition to general pet care, I have plenty of experience working with pets who have unique needs. Whether it's an anxious dog that requires extra reassurance or an energetic, loud pup who needs lots of attention and exercise, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and calm. I’m also experienced in administering medication, handling intricate feeding schedules, and following any special instructions your pet may need. No matter the situation, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual requirements, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you’re away.
