Information Nick S. would like to know about your pet

Happy to work with any breed. Would like to know of any obedience issues, health issues, aggression or other issues (including nerves) towards/around humans or other animals, and also important to know specific dietary requirements. I have no issues working with dogs that have problems, but important to know what I am dealing with.

A typical day

Southwood Country Park, Fleet Pond, Hawley Woods, Yateley Common and local parks, amongst others. Very happy to go to specified places or enclosed dog parks if preferred. This can all be discussed.

Pet care experience

I am 37 years old and have personally had cats and dogs for over 20 years and taken care of many dogs for friends and family when they have been away or busy with work. Every single one, from the Labradors to the Newfoundland, it has been a pleasure. I find all animals are a joy to be with and I thoroughly enjoy training them and playing with them. I enjoy finding ways to keep their minds active, as it benefits them greatly with their obedience and helps them rest. I recently lost my beautiful labrador friends, and currently have two smaller dogs, who are very friendly and get on well with other dogs and are very obedient. I take it upon myself to learn new ways to care for and train dogs, it is a huge interest of mine. On a personal level, I have previously worked with the Police and volunteered for the Ambulance service. I have a completely clear enhanced DBS check. I have undertaken a pet first aid course to ensure I am able to deal with any emergency that may arise. I am happy working with all breeds of dog, and have experience with high-energy working dogs too, such as Malinois, but would need to know of any issues to be sure I can cater for it. Happy to train dogs whilst walking/sitting as well, but would need to know the issues prior. I have experience working with dogs that are nervous or scared of specific things, as well as experience of dogs that pull when walking, and/or can be aggressive towards others. I will only ever work with one client at a time and never take multiple jobs at once. This ensures peace of mind that your dog would have my full attention and there should be no conflict with other unknown dogs. Please ensure that you are happy paying me through Rover before booking.

Gus enjoyed a wonderful 10’days with Nick at his setting . Nick was always just a text away for updates and nothing was too much bother. He genuinely loves dogs and his approach to care comes out of that.Gus I am sure will look forward to his next visits with Nick

Nick was great with my two dogs and kept me up to date with their walks with messages and pictures. One of my dogs in particular is old and a bit hit and miss if she wants a walk or not, and as it happened she didn’t. So instead Nick worked around this issue and sat with her in my garden giving her fuss. My other one who is full of beans was then taken for a run and swim which he loves. I will definitely be using Nick again.

Nick does a fantastic job. Very reliable and excellent with Oliver, it's great to know that he is being well looked after when we cannot be there.
