I am currently transitioning from being a primary school teacher after opting for voluntary redundancy to embrace a new direction and adventure. Caring is in my nature and personality and something I get great personal satisfaction from. I’m adept in waking early and having an active and busy schedule so feel this would enhance my lifestyle perfectly.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced secure garden. I have one cat who likes to come and say hello but is often on his own adventures. When walking your family member they will be on the lead until call and response is established. I am DBS cleared and have certification. Before caring for you furry family member I like to meet and greet and find out a bit more about them.

Information Nicola K. would like to know about your pet

Each new pet’s owner will be contacted beforehand to discuss individual needs and behaviours. In some circumstances I will arrange a meet with your pet before taking it out. I need to know treat preferences and any medical/dietary needs so that I complete a risk assessment and plan an appropriate route.

A typical day

I am an early riser who loves to be outdoors and in nature exploring trails with your furry family member. Your furry friends will be walked on the lead until we are familiar and recall is established. Your pet will be treated with love and respect, petted, given attention and social stimulation as well as exercise and outdoor exploration. In wet weather your pet will be washed down and dried before returning to your home for a well deserved rest.

Part of the family

Pet care experience

I’ve always had and cared for dogs and more recently cats. I have looked after and walked family and neighbours dogs and cats as well as my own. A few years ago our Hungarian Vizsla, Poppy, died and I felt her lose greatly, she was one of the family and went everywhere with us, sharing our favourite past time of walking, hiking and enjoying the outdoors. More recently we adopted a cat that is our new furry member of the family. I love animals and am currently completing a Level 3 diploma in Canine care, behaviour and welfare to deepen my knowledge and understanding of canine psychology and behaviour. Please be assured that your pet will be given the best care and consideration and be treated like part of the family whilst being looked after.

Nicola is great. Our dog really loves her walks and drop-in visits. Always dried off and lots of TLC after a walk. Super easy with booking and great communication

Nicola was brilliant with our dog, he’s quite nervous and can be reactive towards fast moving things like runners or bikes but nicola seemed to handle this well. We booked as he was staying with family and they couldn’t seal highly enough of her dog waking service. Thank you so much, hope to book with you again next time we are away
