Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals for all my life, I’m currently retired and have 1 cat, and would love to pet-sit more animals as I have so much free time. I can take care of dogs & senior dogs with special needs potty trained only. I love long walks and enjoy walking your dogs 3-6 times a day. I will gladly send you daily pictures and updates of your babies and care for them as if they were mine. I can't take dogs that bark too much as I need to think of my neighbors.

Nicola took really good care of our babies, which was really important to us as they had not stayed at anyone's home and we were nervous about it (we've had sitters at our place). She made us feel comfortable and confident that they were having a good time! Nicola wrote to us each day to let us know how they were, and sent us photos! Thank you so very very much Nicola!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Nicola. My cat Simba absolutely adored her and had the best time while we were gone. Always sent us photos of him and communicated what was going on. 10/10 would recommend!!
