Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-lover with Cockapoo co-host
I’m now fully available again after a few months of home renovations and excited to welcome dogs back! I’m here to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐶💛 I’ve been caring for dogs for a few years from playful puppies to wise seniors. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or just a trusted companion while you’re at work or on holiday, I’ve got it covered! At home, your pup will have a built-in buddy — my Cockapoo, Jude! 🐾 Jude is playful and loves making new doggy friends, so your pup will enjoy great company during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality and routine so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free. Your pup’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🦴 What you can expect: • Regular potty breaks & walks • Lots of playtime and cuddles • Daily photo and video updates (if you’d like) • Clean, safe, and cosy environment • Quick responses and reliable scheduling • Love and attention like they’re my own!

Ratings and reviews
Moose had the absolute best day with Nicola! He is so happy and absolutely finished from all the playing. Really appreciate the pics and updates throughout the day. Thank you Nicola for giving Moose a home away from home where I know he is cared for as much as we do.
This was the first time using a dog sitter and Nicola was fantastic, Noo noo my Samoyed had a great time with Nicola, I got regular updates and photos. I was able to go away and relax knowing noo noo was being well cared for, I would genuinely recommend Nicola and will be using her again.
Polly loved her stay at Nicola’s. Nicola is so friendly and welcoming and gave me so many lovely updates including trips to a secure field and what she’d eaten. She looked after Polly like her own and nothing was too much trouble. She’s already looking forward to her next stay.
Bear went to stay with Nicola and Jude for 8days while we went on holiday to Spain and we were so happy with the care and attention he received. This was the first time we have ever left Bear and Nicola treated him like her own and gave us regular updates, photos and videos. Bear was very happy and looked like he had a great week getting lots of nice walks and cuddles. We have already rebooked for our next trip and recommend her highly!
we left our 4 year old westie, Pippa with Nicola for the day, and right from the start she made a fuss of her and welcomed her into her home along with her own dog. we received up date photographs showing both Pippa relaxing and out for a walk. On collection we could see that Pippa had had a good day and had been well looked after. we would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to anyone and we will use her again for doggy day care in the future
We couldn't be happier with the amazing care Nicola provided while dog sitting our beloved Leo! From the moment we met, it was clear Nicola is a true dog lover — kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. Leo instantly felt at home with her and her cockapoo, Jude. Nicola sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. It’s clear Nicola treats every dog she cares for like family, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we trust. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Leo with her again. Thank you, Nicola (and Jude!) for being such wonderful hosts to Leo!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, which means your dog will never be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an enclosed garden, so can make sure your pup gets plenty of regular toilet breaks and outdoor time throughout the day. I'm close to safe, dog-friendly walking routes, and I love taking dogs out for fresh air, sniffing adventures, and a good stretch of the legs! 🐾 Your dog will enjoy a cosy, clean, and calm indoor environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and of course, cuddles. Plus, they’ll have the company of my Cockapoo, Jude, to keep them entertained! For the safety of my own dog and the pets I care for, I can only accept dogs that are fully vaccinated and up to date on flea, worm, and tick treatments.
Pets
A typical day
Jude has plenty of toys he'll be happy to share, but if there are any specific toys your dog enjoys please do bring them with you.
