Information Nichole B. would like to know about your pet

For the past few years I haven’t had my own pet due to travel/work commitments, so I particularly enjoy my pet sitting job/spending time with yours! I’d like to get the best out of our time together quickly, so it’s important to know all their little quirks, loves and dislikes of your pet beforehand, as well as feeding/walking/medication/grooming etc schedule.

A typical day

You and your pet needs will dictate our day when you are away, I prefer to keep them in similar routine to owners, so pet is less anxious or disrupted when you are away, they miss you and this helps keep them calm. If your dog (or cat!) has one or three walks per day, that is what they will continue to have when with me. There are numerous parks, woodlands and walks where I live, and I can take your dog to new places, or for those who prefer their favourite places nearby or have particular needs such as elders/puppies - I can happily accommodate their needs too. Some cats need cuddles and playtime, whilst others don’t at first and will soon let you know! All appreciate some company/distraction when owners are away and missed...and I often get brought ‘gifts’ to add to the food stock in ‘thanks’ by the cats themselves!

Pet care experience

Hi, thanks for taking a look at my profile - I’m Derbyshire Peak District/Sheffield based mainly, but can work nationally and internationally too. I’ve had or cared for many different animals all of my life, life isn’t complete without them in my world!...Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, pony, fish...plus a few wild bird friends too. From Sharrow to Queensland via the Peak District, France and Greece - I’ve looked after/made firm furfriends all around the world for many years now, been entrusted with end of life care for a precious 24 year old, as well as with exuberant puppies/kitties/teens of all shapes, sizes and needs - I’m very experienced with over 25 years of looking after other people’s precious pets, as well as my own throughout life. Much loved family pets include Labrador and Boxer dogs, plus Russian Blue and Turkish Van (ish moggy) cats, so am particularly experienced with those breeds. From tiny chihuahua Rani, to her big sister half Dingo/sharpei Cheeky, to even bigger teen Airedale, Dixie - they’ve all helped me get to know each of their different sizes, needs and breeds too, often showing me the way with reciprocal love and patience - I feel a natural affinity and care for all animals, whether wild or pets, young or old, big or small. I will only look after your pet/s when booked, unless in exceptional circumstances and/or fully agreed by all parties prior (such as fulfilling regular play dates with known dog friends or specifically required socialisation opportunities). I currently work/study part time on a flexible basis, often remotely, so can easily plan around you and your pet/s. Available throughout UK/further, am happy to travel and can look after your home, all your pets (plants and animals such as horses, goats, chickens etc if required too). I am available to pet sit in your home, so you and your pets feel more safe and secure whilst away. I will care for your pets and home as if own and to highest standard/your instructions as given at prior ‘getting to know you’ appointment where we can run through a check list to ensure everything is covered and clear. I care for pets in their own home to help keep all feel more safe, secure and calm whilst owner away, who they often tellingly miss. Available to house/pet sit all around UK and abroad in your own homes, from 3-hours-nights-months-longer, please enquire for longer term/international transportation/pet sit /wedding chaperone/vacation dog nanny special prices.

I cannot recommend Nichole highly enough. They looked after my Italian Greyhound Boots whilst I was abroad getting married. The care and attention they provided to Boots gave me complete peace of mind during such an important busy time. It was the fist time I had left Boots with someone other than family. Nichole kept me updated throughout my trip with regular photos and messages, which was incredibly reassuring. My dog was taken on evening walks as there was a heat wave at the time. I am so happy at how well she was cared for, and she clearly received plenty of love and attention while I was away. Knowing that my dog was in such capable hands completely relieved any stress or worry I might have had otherwise, ( I had alot before I met Nichole) but after meeting her immediately had a sense of relief. I came home to a very happy pooch, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Nichole’s services again or recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much

Having recently relocated we were in search of a new dog sitter. Our dog is 15 and needs daily medication, he is also anxious when left. We were keen to find someone who understood this and who would take care of him whilst we were away for a weekend. It is also a bit daunting to have someone staying in your house. All I can say is that Nichole was great and everything went well. Nichole was very understanding, calm and reassuring, she sent photo's twice a day over the weekend and we returned to a happy dog. Nichole looked after the house and we would definitely recommend her - in fact she is sitting for us again later in the year.

I was so wary in the beginning to find the right person to care for our dogs but was so happy to find Nichole. We trust her implicitly, the dogs love her and it’s so reassuring to have peace of mind that they’re so well looked after when we are away. Thanks so much x

Once again Nichole did an amazing job of looking after Baloo, Bear and Nelly. They love her so much, and I am thankful to have such a kind loving person looking after them while we are away. In addition, the house is always immaculate when we return. I really couldn’t ask for more.
