Availability

I try to mimic the dogs routine as best I can. Working from home makes this easy too. I walk them multiple times a day depending on their usual routine. Play with them, or leave them be if that’s what they need. It’s important that I know everything about the dogs so that I can care for them in the best way possible.

Information Nicola B. would like to know about your pet

No preferences to breeds. Is your dog nervous or excitable? Does your dog like to be on their own or do they like interacting with others? Do you have any special requirements for your dog that I need to know about? Is there anything that your dog is or isn't allowed? What’s their routine? Where do they sleep? How are they with visitors? What are their quirks? They all have them! :)

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically, and always eager to play with them or teach them new tricks / work on their training. I like exploring new areas and also have a few favourite doggy spots to go to where there’s shallow water, parks, woods etc.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs since I was little and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been dog boarding for a number of years so I’m very experienced. I'm very loving and energetic and live opposite a park and close to lots of local parks, woods and great doggy walks. Myself and my partner welcome all dogs lovingly into our home. It’s a very dog friendly environment and we have a secure garden so it's perfect for toileting or playtime! The dog will be able to roam the house and have company through out its stay. As we both work from home, there’s lots of flexibility to care for the dogs needs. We’re seeking some doggy interaction and excited to meet all breeds of dogs on our search for one in the future. I used to volunteer at Battersea Dogs Home for three years, where I played and interacted with the dogs, assessed their behaviour and their health. Fed them, walked them and looked after their general welfare. I learnt different techniques; how to act around dogs for the first time or dogs that were slightly more nervous or boisterous! I'm very attentive to dogs and will definitely make sure that yours is happy whilst in my care!! I have experience looking after dogs that are both old and young, and I’m happy to provide oral medication or training if they need it. And if they’re happy to lounge on the sofa, that’s ok too! I work from home so I am available to walk, play or toilet your dog when needed. I can walk your dog multiple times a day if needed and be in the same room as them when working in a dedicated doggy room with their bey own sofa! I have a garden that’s secure and live in a quiet neighbourhood. Close to parks, walks and the countryside. I can also take the dogs to local parks in my car if required. When it’s hot there’s a wood near by for shade and I’ll also take them on early morning and late evening walking when it’s particularly hot.

Nicola was amazing boarder, she was both professional and dedicated to Neons wellbeing. I could tell that Nicola was very experienced with animals and Neon took to her straight away. The property was large with a perfect inclosed garden which allowed Neon to get fresh air whenever he needed. Nicola’s communication was top notch and kept me updated on how Neon was doing during his stay. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone who’s looking for someone to look after their pets. I will most definitely be a repeat customer next time I’m up in Bradford and need someone to look after my furry friend - Neon. Thank you for taking good care of him for me.

This was Amelias second stay, as can be quite nervous and shy we were pleased that Nicola was able to look after her for us again. We had lots of photos and updates during her stay, and she enjoyed herself so much she wanted to stay when we went to collect her. We look forward to Amelia staying with her again in the future ❤️

Nicky took great care of our dog, Murphy. He seemed to enjoy his day with her, she took great care of him and provided me with reassurance via photos during the day. Absolutely recommend, really grateful I have found Nicky through this app and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Nicky, really appreciate you taking care of Murphy for us. X
