Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog owner and dog sitter that loves to go for long dog walks and give doggy cuddles. I work from home and don't have my own dog currently due to other work commitments - Availability for dog sitting this year is more limited I live in a house with completely enclosed and safe garden, there are no other pets or children - ideal if your dog likes a quieter environment. The local walks will be sandbanks /branksome beach, whitecliff park, studland and maybe a bit further if your dog is good in the car/likes walks. I mainly offer short breaks up to 7 nights and day care, taking short notice bookings up to 8 weeks forward. I prefer small to mid size dogs that are low moulting due to allergies. If you want your dog to have a pampered loving holiday or day stay please get in touch via the enquiries/messaging and to arrange a meet up so we can both be sure that your dog will be happy. I will always check your vaccination/flea treatment records, emergency vet and contact details and ensure I know as much about your dog so they enjoy their stay. For added peace of mind i have completed a Dog first aid course accredited by CPD I have a 5 star Highest standards licence from Poole council for a maximum of 2 dogs - licence number M/009362

Nicola was very interested in Percy and asked questions to get to know Percy, what he likes and what he does not like. You can see from the outset that Nicola has a genuine love for dogs. We felt completely confident leaving Percy with Nicola and would not hesitate to recommend her.
