Pet care experience

Pets are family

Hi, I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've looked after my own family pets as well as the dogs of friends, relatives, and neighbors—and I absolutely love it! My friends often say dogs are drawn to me, and I think it’s because they can sense how much I care. For me, leaving your dog with someone is like leaving your child—it’s a big deal. That’s why I go the extra mile to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, relaxed, and loved. Whether it’s for a walk, a weekend stay, or just a few hours of company, I treat your pup like family. In addition to walks and drop-in visits, I also offer house sitting with your pet, which I know is a popular and appreciated service. I'm more than happy to provide this, and it’s a great way for your pet to stay comfortable in their own home while you're away. I send daily updates and pictures. I’m attentive, patient, and always happy to keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure and quiet home and fenced in garden. The house is quiet so I find dogs often feel calm and don’t get distressed with cars or people passing by

Nikki is such a wonderful person and Ziggy loves her! She kept me updated everyday and took Ziggy on the best walks each day!

We love Nikki! Ziggy has been so happy with her! She keeps me updated throughout the day and takes Ziggy on fun adventures to help with her separation anxiety from me. Ziggy is so comfortable and happy with Nikki. I could not have found a better person to look after Ziggy for me!

Nicola is amazing! I have been looking for a dog sitter for a while now jmand have been so nervous about who to trust. Nicola came over for a meet and greet before hand and went over everything and when it came to the day it went really well and I felt relaxed about it all. Nicola really does understand how your dog is another member of the family and we will defo be using Nicola again!

Nicola was fantastic! I highly recommend Nicola and look forward to working with her again in the future. Nicola stayed at my house for a week and looked after my little Cavapoo dog and she was amazing! I received regular updates and photos of my boy and felt that he was very safe and well looked after. Nicola is lovely and clearly loves dogs! She was very professional and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process from the meet and greet to the end of the week. Thank you for looking after my baby! We can’t wait to see you again soon. Xx
