Pet care experience

I have lots of experience with rescue dogs, dealing sucessfully with behavioral issues and helping dogs enjoy walks and socialising. In the past Ive taken care of my own senior dogs with health issues. Recently looked after a dog, whos owner asked could if I would help with her diet, this resulted in a healthier weight and improved health issues, owner was delighted. I also mind an active Beagle who has lots of energy and I enjoy taking her out and about.

Nicola looked after Luna for a week. Great communication and updates daily which was nice. They clearly bonded, so well that Luna had second thoughts about leaving Nicolas house. Luna was so happy and well looked after and glad we choose Nicola as a sitter. Im hoping Nicola will be available next time we are away.

Nichola was fantastic with Buster our 13 year old Jack Russel, We were very nervous because he sometimes isn't very good around people but he took to her so well. We were able to enjoy our holiday because she sent us updates daily on how he was getting on and he enjoyed her company so much he was actually sad the first night we got him home. Would recommend Nichola 100 percent 👌 she has a gift with dogs and will deffo use her in the future .
