Pet care experience

I love dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes

Ive always lived in pet friendly households so ive grown up knowing how to take care of animals. I looked after my family's dog when I was a teenager, being the one to walk him and play with him and listen to his general needs. I adopted my own dog as soon as I was able to, he died over a year ago and I miss hom hut im not in a situation where I can adopt a new dog. Both dogs at some point in their lives have been nervous and/or reactive so i have experience working with difficult dogs but I am also happy working with calmer dogs. I had a behaviouralist for my dog so I am also happy working with the training techniques given by a behaviouralist to help support you dog. I am currently unemployed having been a stay at home mum for the last 5 years so im most flexible during school times. I have been trusted by my friends to dog- and cat-sit their pets and I just generally love all animals.

Nicola was a dream. Really flexible and accommodating. She’s really approachable and made me feel instantly relaxed leaving our Cat in her care and visiting our home while we were away. We’ll definitely book Nicola again when we need a helping hand.

Jolly loved his time at Nicola's. Very communicative and made sure he was comfortable whilst I was away, giving me peace of mind. Would definitely book again! Thank you.

Nicola swooped in when I couldn’t walk my dog and needed 3 last minute bookings. She was so responsive, and very grounded in response to Friday deciding to have a bit of a strike. Thank you!!

Amazing from start to finish! Dude is quite elderly and even tho this was his first time stay with Nicola, he was relaxed at drop off and was sound asleep at pick up. I absolutely recommend Nicola and have already booked for Dude to stay with her again 😊

Nicola and her family looked after my dog Rorey he had a lovely time plenty of walks and I had up dates on how he's was doing which was nice as he's never been away from home before and I was a bit worried. I highly recommend them.
