Experienced & reliable, seeking cuddles and walks!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs since I was little and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. 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 garden so it's perfect for toileting or playtime! The dog will be able to roam the house and have company thought out it’s 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! Working from home so available to walk, play or toilet the dog when needed. Not available on Tuesdays as I work away from home. I can walk the dog multiple times a day if needed and be in the same room as the dog when working. 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.

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

Nala as stayed with Nicola and James for the second time, but this time it was for the full week, yet again Nicola kept me updated on how nala was doing, with daily messages and photos, when we arrived to collect nala she was happy and full of joy and looked to have been very well looked after and loved, I now feel I can go away and not be worried about leaving nala as I know she’s in the best of hands

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?

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.
