Amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of Prince while we were away and kept us updated throughout, which gave us peace of mind. Prince was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. She was reliable, caring, and gave him lots of attention and playtime. We’re very grateful for everything she did and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!

Sam and Buddy were obviously happy at Nicholas! 8 month old Buddy had a great time playing with Nichola’s puppy. 13 year old Sam unfortunately went to her with an already damaged paw, but she cared for it well.

Amazing cat sitter ! Nichola really went the extra mile to bond with and care for my cats as well as sending me updates through photos of them everyday. I also have an anxious cat who eventually warmed up to her which proves my point about how good she is at taking care of animals. Really recommend and deffo will be contacting her in the future for other bookings :)

Nichola is great with Lexi. She's looked after her several times now and I wouldn't have anyone else.
