Pet care fits into my routine alongside a standard working day. I work Monday to Friday from 8am–5pm, and there is no one else at home during this time. For this reason, I can only accept dogs who are comfortable being left alone during the working day. Dogs will be settled in the morning with feeding and attention before I leave, and will have dedicated care, exercise, and company before and after work. Evenings and weekends are fully focused on the dogs in my care, with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and well looked after. I always aim to maintain a calm, consistent routine so dogs feel secure and comfortable in my home.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and family environment. I have a fully fenced garden with a lawn, providing a secure outdoor space for supervised toilet breaks and playtime. Dogs in my care follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention before and after my working hours. During the working day, when dogs are home alone, they will always have access to fresh water, a comfortable resting area, and safe toys for enrichment. I make sure each dog is settled and comfortable in the morning before I leave, and they receive dedicated care, exercise, and interaction in the evenings and weekends to ensure their needs are fully met. My priority is always to maintain a safe, clean, and reassuring environment where dogs feel secure and well cared for.

Small/Medium Dog Home Boarding 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter offering home boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I’ve had a lifelong love of animals and experience caring for a wide range of breeds—from Yorkshire Terriers & King Charles Cavalier so I’m confident adapting to different personalities and needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, affection and cuddles. I work Monday to Friday from 8–5, so I’m best suited to dogs who are comfortable with that routine. I also require dogs to be fully House-Trained. Outside of working hours, your dog will enjoy walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one attention. As I have older children in the home (8 & 13), I can only accept dogs who are friendly, gentle, and comfortable around children. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priority

Rupert stayed for a week. He loved it! He had lots of cuddles and attention. Would rebook again. Thanks for having him Nicola 😁

I can’t recommend Nicola enough as a dog sitter. She’s always had a natural way with animals and genuinely cares about them like they’re her own. She’s patient, reliable, and really tuned in to what each dog needs, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or a bit of extra reassurance. I’ve seen firsthand how comfortable dogs are around her, and how much effort she puts into making sure they feel safe and happy. She’s also really responsible and trustworthy, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pet.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience leaving my dog, Bobby, in care. From the very beginning, communication from Nicola was clear and reassuring, and I felt completely confident that Bobby was in safe hands. During the stay, I received regular updates and photos which really put my mind at ease. Bobby looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout. It was clear he was treated like part of the family and given lots of attention and affection. I also really appreciated the routine being followed closely, especially around feeding and walks. Bobby came home calm and settled, which says a lot about the care provided. I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you!

Nicola has looked after my dog, Elsy, a fair few times. I always know Elsy is looked after and loved like her own. I always get photos and videos sent whenever Elsy is in Nicola’s care. Recommend 100%
