A little about me

Hi, I'm Nicole!

I started Just Like Home in 2023 from my love of dogs and wanting to offer the kind of care I'd want for my own. Since then, I've had the pleasure of caring for lots of gorgeous dogs across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

My aim is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy and completely at home while they're in my care. I keep every booking small and personal, and I'm very comfortable with nervous or reactive dogs. You'll get photo updates the whole time, so you can actually relax while you're away.

Services & prices

Sitting, boarding & walks

Simple, honest pricing. Meet & greets can be arranged prior to your dog's stay if needed.

Booking deposit

A 25% deposit is required to confirm your booking. Your deposit is fully refundable if you cancel at least 7 days before the start of your stay. The remaining balance is due on arrival.

Nervous or reactive dog?

Every dog is different. I'm happy to discuss your dog's individual needs, routine and triggers before booking. Small stays, solo walks and personalised care mean I can tailor their time with me to help them feel as comfortable as possible. You're very welcome to enquire.

Simple from the start

"Nicole did an exceptional job looking after my dog for 3 weeks while I was overseas. I had peace of mind with regular updates. I would really recommend her, especially if you're looking for excellent care for your dog while you're away."

"Nicole took our strong-willed Jimmy for a walk and was a really confident leader. She had a proper chat about what works best for him, and he came home smiling and then snored on the couch all evening."

"Nicole is amazing, so many updates and she knew just how to handle my big boy Dobby. Easy to communicate with, and pick-up and drop-off was smooth. I'd recommend her to anyone."
