Boutique dog sitting in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Your dog is treated as part of the family, never one of a large group. Insured, vetted, and genuinely dog-obsessed.
Small, personal, home-style care. Nervous and reactive dogs welcome.
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.

I often cover other nearby areas too. Just get in touch to see if I can help.
Simple, honest pricing. Meet & greets can be arranged prior to your dog's stay if needed.
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.
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.
Three easy steps. Most of your questions are answered right here on the site.
Tell me a little about your dog, the service you're looking for and the dates you need.
We'll go over your dog's routine, needs and anything important I should know. If needed, we can also arrange a meet & greet beforehand.
Head off knowing they're happy and well cared for, with photo updates landing in your phone.

Real client reviews from my Instagram. There are plenty more over there.
"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."
