Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun walkies and countless cuddles!
I am an experienced dog and cat owner having had multiple dogs up to senior age and I had my dog from a puppy which I trained myself. I have a Brussels Griffon named Mabel. She is four and a really loving and sweet girl that is great with other dogs and cats. I had my cat Sid since he was a kitten until he passed away at 17, and had my previous childhood cat up till she was 21. I have experience with small animals going back to childhood including Guinea pigs and mice and hamsters and rabbits. I have experience dog walking for friends and have previously fostered a corn snake. I have fostered cats and kittens for a local rescue. We love going on dog walks and have Meersbrook Park in walking distance and only a short drive to the Peak District. Your pet will be treated as if it’s my own and I will send regular updates and photos so you can see your pet having a lovely time in their holiday home!

Ratings and reviews
Nichola provided really clear updates throughout our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again :)
Nichola has done wonders and got my very nervous cat to come out of hiding by just the second visit. Updates and photos received. Felt able to relax knowing she was being
Nichola was fab once again!
Good, told me any problems that she had
Great job. Thank you ever so much 😊
I am so glad I chose Nichola to do drop on visits for my elderly dog, Lola. Nichola was fantastic with her, and clearly understood the needs of an older dog. She arrived at the agreed times every day, and she sent me loads of photos each day, and I could see that Lola was happy and got cuddles and attention from Nichola.

Schedule
I am in and out throughout the day working for a homeless charity - some days I’m also working from home so there would never be more than a few hours at a time when I wouldn’t be at home with your pet.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have outside space I can take dogs out to and would have full access around my flat. I can crate your dog if that is preferable to you and will stick fully to your routine and training/walking requirements. I drive so can offer pick up and drop off if needed. I have a designated room for cats to stay which is closed off from Mabel. Mabel is cat friendly, having lived with a cat and visiting friends and family who also have cats. I will do multiple checks throughout the day to keep them company and give them plenty of attention.
Pets
A typical day
We love playing and going on walks! Will make sure your dog is stimulated throughout the day so they don’t get bored and will be taken outside regularly for toilet breaks. Toys can be provided or you can bring your own. In the evening we will go for a nice longer walk in the local park or the Peak District depending on the weather, followed by playtime and cuddles. At weekends we can plan a dog friendly day out.
