About Nicky

Hoi! Mijn naam is Nicky, aangenaam! (English below!)

Liefde voor dieren zat er bij mij al vroeg in, zo erg dat ik eerst dierverzorging ben gaan studeren, toen docent dierverzorging werd en nu bezig ben met een master dierwetenschappen. Je hoort het al, die liefde is blijven hangen! :)

Het voordeel hieraan is dat ik geruime ervaring heb met allerlei soorten dieren en diens verzorging. Ik heb meermaals stages gelopen op kennels en catteries, waar ik medicatie heb leren geven maar ook een goed oog voor welzijn heb ontwikkeld. Tijdens mijn werk in de dierenwinkel heb ik baasjes geholpen hun viervoeters blij te maken, iets wat ik nogsteeds graag doe! Katten, honden, slangen, paarden, chincillas.. Ik vind alles leuk en durf te zeggen dat ik alles al een keer verzorgd heb.

Ik studeer dus nog, dat vraagt wat planning, maar ik weet zeker dat we daar samen uit komen! Ik verzorg je dieren met liefde en aandacht.

Hi there, my name is Nicky, nice to meet you!

Ever since I was a small Nicky (ha!) I've felt connected to animals. To be fair, this ran a bit out of hand, as I've been studying them for ten years now. First as an animal caretaker, then as a teacher in animal husbandry and now finishing off with animal sciences. You've guessed it: my love for animals is still going strong!

The advantage of that is that I have loads of experience with all kinds of animals and their care. For example, I've worked in kennels, cattery's and a petshop, which has provided me with an excellent eye for welfare but also the practice in giving medication. I've done this with loads of differend four (or more, or less) legged friends: cats, dogs, snakes, horses, chinchillas (even giraffes!). 

The fact that I'm still in university requires some planning, but I'm sure we will figure things out. In return you get a well-experiences petsitter who will look after your animals with love and attention. Do not hesitate to reach out! :)

Nicky heeft onze twee oudere katten tijdens onze vakantie heel goed verzorgd. Een ervan krijgt medicijnen, dat was geen enkel probleem voor haar. Ze stuurde updates met foto’s, en bleek ook wat technische kennis te hebben toen de batterijen van de voerautomaat op waren! Ik zou haar zeker aanraden!
