Her pets, Bronx and Harlem, turned on her in a brutal attack that left Nikita with serious bite wounds to her arms and legs and major blood loss.
She was dashed to hospital in a serious condition, where she remained on Monday, and according to local media, she now requires surgery to save one of her arms.
Her shocked neighbours have revealed disturbing details of the attack and said they were only made aware it was happening as Nikita’s painful screams echoed through the street.
But despite their attempts to stop the nightmare mauling, the dogs continued until cops arrived.
Footage from 9News, also revealed a plaque on Nikita’s front door which read: “Beware of the rottweiler”.
One neighbour, Bryn Spencer, said he and another neighbour heard Nikita’s screams for ten minutes before they decided to intervene.
He explained that the pair attempted to break up the violent attack but couldn’t access her property without putting their own lives on the line.
“I was contemplating jumping the fence and getting in there to rescue her but obviously there were two rottweilers in there … I would have been ripped apart,” he told the ABC.
“All I could really do was watch this girl get mauled apart while I was smacking the fence with a bat … while (another neighbour) was hosing the dog.”
Speaking to 7News, Bryn said he begged the cops to shoot the dog.
“I said you need to get your gun out and shoot this dog, it’s going to kill her,” he said.
While he was unable to stop the attack, he said that he did “everything I possibly could”.
“The other Rottweiler was jumping up the fence at me,” he said.
“I kept screaming at it and smacking the fence.”
Officers reportedly attempted to taser the dogs but were forced to shoot when the attacks didn’t stop.
One of the rottweilers has been left in a significant condition.
The dogs were later seized by the City of Cockburn, with the injured dog euthanised due to his injuries.
While Rottweilers aren’t considered restricted breeds in Australia, they can be prone to aggression and male dogs can weigh between 50kg to 60kg.
Nikita appeared to be an avid rottweiler lover, with photos of Bronx and Harlem plastered across her Facebook page.
One photo from 2019 showed the woman cuddling a rottweiler, however, it hasn’t been confirmed whether it was the same dog involved in the attack.
The incident will reportedly continue to be investigated by the City of Cockburn.
The attack on Nikita comes after a brave schoolgirl told how she thought she was going to die after being savaged by an XL Bully dog in Birmingham, UK.
Another dog victim shared her outrage after it reportedly took 17 days for authorities to collect the animal that violently mauled her.
Two rottweilers were shot dead by armed police after savaging a 70-year-old man in Bognor Regis, UK, last month.
And in May, a woman was mauled to death by her own American Bully XL while she was walking a pack of dogs.
