Pet Lover 🐾😸🐕

I have owned dogs, cats and horses since I was a child. At the moment we are pet free after losing our 3 dogs who were elderly 😟 We really miss having a pet and it would be nice to have an animal in the house again!

Luce always returns home in a relaxed state after staying with Nicola. Luce is extremely well looked after and obviously enjoys her little breaks away from home, testimony to how good a job Nicola does. I've already booked Lucy's next stay.

Another very happy stay with Nicola for my dog on Saturday. She was overjoyed to see Nicola again after a year, which tells its own story! Happy dog. Happy owner ! Thank you Nicola!

Nicola and her husband were amazing, she helped us out when we needed last minute lodging for Lady. They treated her like their own and I know she absolutely loved her stay there. Would highly recommend x

Lady absolutely loved her stay with Nicola i would 100% recommend. The love and care Lady got on her stay was amazing and she was living her best life. I had to book her in last minute and Nicola was very accommodating, I even extended Lady's stay whilst there. From the bottom of my heart thank you xxx

Luce always enjoys her stays with Nicola. She returns home in a very chilled and relaxed state and looks forward to her stays at Nucola's.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a safe fenced garden and currently have no other pets. We have Epping forest for long walks opposite our house and is generally a quiet part of the forest

A typical day

When caring for visiting dogs, I welcome them as part of the family from the moment they arrive. They enjoy two long walks each day, plenty of playtime, and constant companionship. My home has a secure, fully fenced garden where they can explore safely and relax outdoors. Indoors, dogs are free to settle wherever they feel most comfortable—yes, they’re absolutely allowed on the sofa for cuddles. I aim to create a calm, homely environment so your dog feels loved, included, and truly at home.

Nicola can host up to 1 pet per night
I always encourage owners to share any specific needs or routines their pet may have so I can provide truly tailored care. Whether it’s dietary requirements, behaviour quirks, preferred walking styles, or medical needs, the more I know, the better I can support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including injections, and I follow instructions carefully to ensure everything is done safely and calmly.
