Information Nicola D. would like to know about your pet

As a family home I can only accept dogs that are good with children, my children have always been around dogs and know that dogs need there quite time, my children know there boundaries when it comes to any dog. As a dog loving family we can’t wait to welcome your doggy and care for them just like you would.

A typical day

Just like myself dogs like to be stimulated both mentally and physically throughout the day, I will ensure that your dog has a fun filled day with lots of exploring our local walks and woodland areas.

Nicola D.'s Neighborhood

I have learnt everything from dogs

Pet care experience

Hi I am Nicola I have had dogs all my life from the age of 6 the best day ever when we returned from school to a puppy! I have cared for a variety of Breeds throughout my life allowing me to be confident with any breed of dog, I use to work with retired greyhounds which including feeding, walking, grooming and bathing them. Being around animals makes me happy. I left school and went to an agriculture college where I gained a degree In Equine science. I have always had dogs they make life a happier place and I always thought about starting my own dog walking / sitting business, unfortunately my dog of 17 years passed away 3 weeks ago and not having a dog in the house doesn’t feel right and that’s why am here, I want to turn my thought into a reality! I have 3 children who are all dog mad, they will never be left alone with your fur babies but I know they will love having a dog back in the house and walking them if they are with me. I am self employed at home so I can give your dog all the attention they need and they will be made to feel like my home is there home. I love walking and being outside in all weathers and having a dog to do that with is the best. I live within walking distance of the most beautiful walks! I have a large garden which is 1000% safe and plenty of room in the house for your dog to choose where they want to make themselves comfy. I am available for daily walks, pop ins, and home boarding. Your dog will be treated like our own given all the attention and taken on adventures with us. I have recently moved to Ormskirk and have been running my own dog boarding and walking business previously, but I am back on rover and can’t wait to offer my services to the area xx

It would appear Nyla (our dog) had a great time with Nicola and her family. She was absolutely shattered on returning home (which is a good sign) and Im sure she misses all the attention and cuddles she received from the family. I received regular updates and photos throughout Nyla's stay and wouldn't hesitate to use Nicola again. First class!! Many thanks 👍

Keka loved her stay with Nicola & the kids! I can see how much they enjoy having her. She gets plenty of walks and attention. So nice seeing the pictures and to know she is safe and happy. She will be happy to back with her 2nd family in December ?
