Your Dog Will be Having More Fun Than You!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Nic and I live in my self built campervan with my partner, Sam and pooch (Onyx the Frug) who I co-own with family. Together we have travelled a lot of the UK & mainland Europe where we stay for a few months at a time to truly live like the locals. We love the outdoors which is why we chose this lifestyle and Onyx... he can't get enough of the adventures, which is why I say 'Your pet will be having more fun than you'. Whilst you are on an adventure, you'll know your pet will be having one too. You'll both have tales to share with each other when you reunite. I have 5 years experience with dogs and cats and have done dog sitting and cat sitting for friends, family and on other pet sitting sites. I have looked after dogs of all sizes from pugs to rottweilers. On top of this, I also have experience looking after reptiles (bearded dragons) and horses (grooming and mucking out). Please note, although this is my profile, there will be instances where Sam will be around for example if you choose for your pooch to board with us. I work for myself as a Content Creator focused on van life, travel and digital nomad living therefore, my schedule is very flexible. In the instance of boarding/house sitting it is unlikely I'd need to pop out, but if I do your pet won't be alone for longer than 2hrs. WHILST YOUR DOG IS WITH ME: - Your dog will be taken on daily or twice daily walks in to the wilderness or wherever they choose - I am more than happy to send photos or little videos every day - With any puppies, I am happy to continue basic training - Without question, snacks and cuddles will be provided I live in a van which I built with my dog in mind, therefore it has heating and fans to combat any weather condition. I live in it with my partner Sam and pooch Onyx who I co-own with my family so he isn't always here. Please do check in first if you'd prefer no other dogs around. Although I don't have a fenced garden there is a saying... 'the world is my garden'. Your pooch will get plenty of outdoor time, morning, afternoon and evening for a walk or run around. However, we are always open to popcorn and cuddles in bed too if they prefer a cosy day. IN YOUR HOUSE: I am happy to follow any routine you have set up with your pet. Typically this will include, walks, feeding, cleaning up and taking bins out. As mentioned, I live in a van therefore with some pet sits I have parked on the owners land, I am very flexible with what the owner wants. MEET & GREETS: I am more than happy to have a meet and greet with you beforehand :).
Reviews
WOW 😍 I dont think I could of picked a better dog sitter if I tried. I have a German Shepherd Cross Inuit, he is a very big boy and boisterous 🙈 Either though Nicki was smaller than him, she filled me with confidence, her mannerism is outstanding. My Apollo suffers from separation anxiety and never leaves my side, he comes to work with me and everywhere, Nicki did an amazing job with him, I could see from the 100's of pictures she sent (I wanted these and loved every photo I got) 👌, that he was more than happy with me not being there. She also cared for our family cat Spikey, he is an old man that just sleeps all day, but Nicki also supplied updates on him aswell, sleeping in majority but the attention was there 💕 The quality of care she provided is unratable, it was outstanding. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing such an amazing job with both Apollo & Spikey, as I said to you I'm hesitate to leave this review because I want you all to myself 😭, but people must know how amazing you are and have the honour of you looking after there pets 😊. I will highly recommended you to my friends and family. Thank you for being you ❤️
Nic was amazing with Marley , I knew straight away he was comfortable with her and I have every confidence she looked after him and my home perfectly ! Kept in contact and even stayed on a little longer due to delay in getting back.
Nicola was excellent I booked her very last minute for a drop in and she came and done an amazing jobs with my pups. Thank you!
Nic looked after our property and cat for 8 days whilst we went on holiday, she stayed in her van which saved us time sorting out the house for a guest!! We felt very confident leaving Ruby in the hands of Nic. We had a wonderful time knowing that everything was being looked after. She sent pictures of Ruby during the week which was lovely, and she even hung out in her van! We'd have her back in a heartbeat. Thanks Nic!

Please let me know if: Your pet has any needs that need to be accommodated Your pet is taking medication Your pets routine Any behaviour traits that need to be managed e.g. doesn't like certain dogs/cats/runs off when it see's a squirrel
A typical day
As I live in a van, every day is different but the routine would be based on your pets needs. Local adventures would include exploring nature reserves and woodlands. If your dog is having a posh day where they don't want to get their paws muddy then a tootle around the concrete jungle it is :). If your dog is boarding with me for a few days, depending on what the dog likes there day could look like this: Waking up in a national park, heading out on a big walk, going to a café for a sausage snack, relaxing on the sofa watching the world go by and then another walk before dusk. For the less adventurous dogs, I too love a chilled out movie day, they can have the remote as long as they pick something good!
