Caring and Reliable Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I have grown up around dogs my whole life and love to play with dogs of any size! My family and I have two german shepherds that we adore. I am currently in university completing my second degree, my class schedule ranges from 2-9 hours a day that I am at the university or in clinical’s currently. For all my services we would need to set up a meeting prior to the date(s) to meet/interview just to make sure I am a good fit for your dog and your dog care needs and of course to ensure safety. Always provide any tips or rules you have when walking or taking care of your pet so that I can provide the best possible care for your furry friend!
Reviews
Nicola was fantastic! We had her watch 2 dogs in our home for just over a week and would book her again in a heartbeat. She was very mature and professional, kind, caring, respectful, and responsive. She kept us updated throughout our trip and we came home to 2 very happy dogs! Our house was in perfect condition and she was extremely accommodating with our booking and requests. Would definitely recommend Nicola! 😊
Nicola is an amazing dog and house sitter so caring and thoughtful with the dogs. She always kept me updated and communicated any issues or concerns. I would highly recommend her.
Nicola was very flexible and helpful with our 3 animals when we took a recent trip! We didn't have to worry about them and felt very comfortable. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos while we were away. They were happy and taken care of when we got home, and the house was taken care of as well! Would recommend amd would use her again!
Very happy with Nicola. Pets were content and relaxed when I returned.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am always very careful entering and leaving the house to prevent escapees. When I am looking after someone's pets, I tend not to let them interact with other dogs while on walks as I can never anticipate how another dog might react to them, so it is better to keep distance and prevent any possible harm.
Information Nicola J. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know about leash skills for the dog, to know if they are leash reactive or calm makes a big difference in keeping them safe when walking. Also any training tricks or methods that help with dog recall, listening skills and anything that the owner believes is pertinent to know and apply with their pet.
A typical day
I enjoy exploring the neighborhoods that I dog sit/walk in, so every time we go for a walk I will usually take a new path/route and this gives the dog(s) and opportunity for new stimulation and smells every time.
