Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m always home on weekends and work from home 50% of the time during the week. When I’m home, I’m available to care for your pet. I walk my three dogs twice a day and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. If I’m scheduled to work away from home, I unfortunately wouldn’t be available for pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible. When walking dogs, safety is my absolute top priority. I always check that collars or harnesses are secure before we leave, use sturdy leashes, and stay alert to our surroundings. With my own dogs, I even attach an AirTag to their collars in case of emergencies, and I’m happy to offer that extra layer of safety for your dog too if you’d like. Your pet’s security and happiness mean everything to me, and I care for every dog as if they were my own.

Information Nick S. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, I like to understand each pet’s individual needs before booking. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviours or preferences. Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as how your pet typically responds to new people, other animals, or different environments. It’s also helpful to know their favourite activities, toys, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and settled. For dogs, details about lead behaviour, recall, and temperament on walks are really useful. For cats and other pets, knowing their personality—whether they’re social, shy, or independent—helps me tailor my approach. The more information you can share, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me is centred around keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and in their normal routine. I’ll start with feeding and a bit of calm time to help them settle, especially if they’re missing you. For dogs, this includes walks tailored to their energy levels—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something more active. At home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. For cats and more independent pets, I focus on gentle interaction, play sessions with toys, and giving them space when they need it. I’m always guided by each pet’s personality. I’ll also keep on top of any care needs like fresh water, feeding schedules, and general cleanliness, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. Above all, I aim to create a calm, safe, and enjoyable environment where your pet feels relaxed and well cared for.

Loving Dog Care with 18 Years’ Experience

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, raising four from puppies. I currently have three dogs, including siblings, so I’m experienced with multi-dog households. Daily walks and lots of playtime are part of my routine!

Once again, a fantastic experience with Nick. I needed help at very short notice, and he responded straight away and was more than happy to help. It's such a relief knowing Luna is in safe, caring hands. Highly recommended!

Another great walk with Nick. He's clearly very caring and has such a lovely attitude with Luna. It was a really hot day, and I appreciated that he remembered to take water for her and made sure she was comfortable. She came back happy and relaxed, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
