Hello and welcome! I'm Nicky, an easy going, friendly animal lover who, together with my partner Chris, has been housesitting across the UK and abroad for the last seven years. After many years of travelling and completing over 50+ house sits (including 45 five star reviews on another pet sitting platform), we've decided to slow down and base ourselves in Bournemouth for the foreseeable future. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and in fact, pretty much any furry pet! Chris and I started dog walking and pet sitting together back in 2018 while we were living in London. As we both worked full-time, it wasn't possible to have our own pets, so instead we spent our weekends walking local dogs and welcoming them into our home for overnight stays. It was such a rewarding experience and confirmed just how much we loved caring for animals. In 2019, we completely changed our lifestyle. What started as a planned six-month sabbatical turned into seven amazing years of housesitting around the world. Since then, we've cared for pets in Bali, Australia, Portugal, France and all over the UK. Over the years we've looked after everything from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats requiring medication and extra care. We've also cared for alpacas, ducks, chickens, goats and plenty of small pets too! We've dealt with escape artists, anxious pets, medications and even the occasional vet emergency, so not much fazes us these days. I work part-time from home as a freelance PA, and Chris is a freelance software developer. We both love being outdoors, so long dog walks are one of our favourite parts of the day! Although I'll usually be the one carrying out walks and drop-in visits, Chris may occasionally join me on walks if owners are happy with that. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat just wants company, cuddles and a clean litter tray, I'll care for them as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, photos and plenty of "pupdates" and kitty pictures, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe and having a great time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon!
