Experienced Full-time Dog Carer (Beeston)
Pet care experience
I’m Nick, and my passion for dog walking, boarding and pet sitting stems from a lifetime of loving and caring for animals. With over 12 years of experience looking after dogs (large and small), I've learned what keeps them happy and thriving, whether it’s a long walk, a good play session, or just some quiet company. I was blessed to share 13 years with my own dog Alfie, from tiny puppy to old age, a bond that taught me the deep connection between pets and their people. I currently care for two gerbils (Aspen and Smudge) with my 11-year-old daughter, and I love giving pets the attention they crave when their owners can’t be there. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care, tailored to each pet’s needs, from daily walks to feeding routines. I’d be honoured to look after your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you're away or working. We have a detached home perfectly suited to looking after your pets. Our medium sized garden with lawn, decking and patio areas is totally secure with 6 foot fencing all around. Access to the garden is only possible through the house so it is completely safe and enclosed. If your dog is heat sensitive, we have a garden cabin with air-conditioning to keep cool on hot summer days. I will be looking after dogs full-time - so I'll always be with them and making sure they have the best time possible! Please get in touch if you'd like to arrange a no commitment meet and greet, so we can ensure we are a good fit for each other and your pet/s. Over the next 6 months I'll be studying for the Ofqual regulated (Level 3) - Professional Canine Day Care and Boarding qualification. Then moving on to specialise in dog behaviour and positive training techniques. I'm also a keen photographer, so you'll get lots of pictures of your pets if you'd like me to send them to you while away! Any questions at all please don't hesitate to drop me a message. 😊
Reviews

Nick was fantastic carer for Dougal who hasn’t stayed with anyone for a couple of years. He really understands dogs and their needs. Dougal had a fantastic holiday and we got lots of pics of a happy pooch.

Nick couldn’t have been any better. It’s very clear he cares about the animals he looks after. Harry was so tired after his walks his needs were definitely catered for! 100% would recommend Thanks Nick 🐶

Riley had a great time staying with Nick and his family for the weekend. Lots of fun and walks and he seemed to really enjoy playing with new friends too. He’s been very docile since we got him home this afternoon. It’s like he’s missing his doggy company and Nicks family too. I would have no hesitation in taking him back to Nick. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you. Alan Debbie and Riley boy 👍🏼😀


Ned and Woody are fast asleep after spending a great day with Nick. Communication was great - lots of photos. We had no doubt that they were in good hands. Thank you for looking after them so brilliantly. I have no hesitation in recommending Nick.

Information Nick H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dogs or pets have any special needs. During the meet and greet I’ll gather all the information about your dog/s that’ll make their stay as comfortable and fun as possible. Unfortunately as we have an 11 year old daughter, I won’t be able to board dogs that are aggressive to children, adults or other dogs. I usually have a maximum of 3 friendly, sociable dogs staying at any one time, therefore it’s important your dog/s like to play with and be around other friendly dogs. In exceptional circumstances we do have the space to look after 4 comfortably so please contact me if you have particular requirements regarding this. I am always supervising so that dogs can socialise in a fun, safe and engaging environment. 😊
A typical day
I’ll take dogs on varied walks (we have lots of beautiful scenic walks under 8 minutes drive away) as well as within walking distance. I’ll play games like fetch/frisbee, hide and seek with treats around the house and garden. We also have a large selection of dog toys and treat puzzle toys. They’ll enjoy tailored enrichment and plenty of attention throughout their stay, for a fun and engaging home from home experience.
