Pet care is perfect for me now I have plenty of time on my hands I was a cleaner running my own business when my father got ill with a brain tumour so I gave it all up to care for him. Dad has gone now and I have never built the business back up. Both my dogs have passed now and it broke my heart but because I love dog company so much I can’t go through the heart ache again of losing my best friends so by joining rover will give me the chance to have contact with a furry friends again.

I have a big garden that is fenced. This is a safe space for them to play. I’m at home 24/7 so your pet will never be left alone, so will have my full attention. If your pet is used to being on the sofa or sleeping on your bed, they can do that in my house. I want your beloved pet to feel settled and not anxious just like being at home. When out on a walk I will never let them off the lead.

I just love all animals and they love me 🐾🐾

Pet care experience

I no longer have any animals in my house my beloved ones have all passed over now. When I was working, if i had work clients with pets, they would always form a bond with me. I’ve taken stray cats in and I’ve also rescued dogs. My last rescue was from dogs trust in Liverpool. This was my crazy girl Sugar a Staffordshire bull terrier cross. She was with us for 13 years until she passed over last April 2023. My male dog Bobby, was also a rescue he was a Beddlington Whippet and sadly I lost him suddenly this August. ( both dogs in my profile pictures) He was my shadow my soul mate. I want to do this doggie care in memory of my beloved boy. I feel being around furry friends will help to heal my broken heart. I’m a massive animal lover and looking after animals is just perfect for me. I have a lot of love to give them. They will be safe and loved whilst they are with me like if they were my own.

Nicola was amazing, and so kind to Wilf. He had 2 other playmates during the day, but just him and Nicola overnight. Having never left Wilf with anyone we didn’t know, we asked lots of questions before, read reviews, and also had a meet and greet the day before. Nicola couldn’t have been more accommodating to Wilf, and when picked up the next day, he was very happy but sad to leave. Thanks Nicola x
