Welcome
About Nifty Difty Dog Walking Services
Founded in 1999 by Amy Weatherly, Nifty Difty Dog Walking Service now serves over 500 pets and owners in the Tweed –Gold Coast area. Our dog walking and pet sitting staff are lifelong pet owners, animal lovers, and experienced animal care providers who will help your pet(s) maintain a normal routine in your home environment.
In 2004 Dean DeGood purchased the company from Amy Weatherly. Dean is a former client who was so impressed with the service that Nifty Difty provided, that he decided to leave the corporate world and spend his time with the pets of the Tweed and Gold Coast.
Nifty Difty is a licensed, bonded, and insured dog walking and pet sitting company. It is a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and of the Tweed and Gold Cosat Area Better Business Bureau.
A portion of the proceeds at Nifty Difty goes to support the Animal Welfare League of Tweed and the Animal Welfare League of the Gold Coast.
Our mission is to treat your pet(s) and home with the love, care and respect we would use to treat our own. We believe in nurturing pets in their home environment and helping them follow a consistent and reliable schedule.
At Nifty Difty, you and your pet's happiness is our main concern.
About our Caregivers
We know it can be a little scary to have someone you don't know coming into your home. That's why Nifty Difty takes the time and effort to seek out only the best caregivers for your pet(s) and your home!
Our caregivers treat each pet like they would treat their own. We pride ourselves on punctuality, dependability, and (most importantly) animal adoration- If you and your pet aren't happy, neither are we. Nifty Difty is staffed by "animal people" who have experience and training caring for animals of all shapes and sizes.
At Nifty Difty , your and your pet's happiness is our main concern.
