Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s home away from home 🐾
I’ve recently moved to the Trentham area (ST3) and have a lovely home with large, fully fenced front and back gardens — plenty of space for your furry friend to play and relax! I’ve loved dogs since I was a child and grew up with a Labrador back home in Italy. When I first moved to the UK 17 years ago, I lived with an English family and their lovely dog. I used to take him on long walks every day while dropping the kids off at school, so I have plenty of experience caring for and spending time with dogs. Unfortunately, because of work and life commitments, I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment. I’ve always felt it wouldn’t be fair to leave a dog alone all day — so instead, I have two lovely cats! I also have two children who absolutely love animals and are very friendly and comfortable around them, so your furry friend will get plenty of love and attention in our home. I have a large, fully fenced garden at both the front and back of the house, with a secure gate, so there’s lots of safe outdoor space for your pet to enjoy. You can feel confident leaving your furry friend with me — I’ll make sure they’re well looked after, get plenty of attention, and have a great time! I work flexibly from home a few days a week, so with a little notice I can be quite flexible. I’m also free most evenings and weekends. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾😊

Safety, trust & environment
I have large front and back gardens, both fully fenced with a secure gate, giving your dog plenty of safe space to run, play and explore. I’ve looked after dogs of different sizes, including large dogs, and they’ve always loved the outdoor space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me, and I’ll make sure they feel relaxed, happy and well cared for while staying with me.
Ratings and reviews
Thanks for much for your last minute help! ☺️
Thank you so much for walking my dog Kym! I hope you’ll be happy to walk him again ☺️
Nick was lovely, and took great care of Jazz. He’s an old boy and needs medication daily, which Nick hadno problem with. Nick even took delivery of a new cat scratching post and erected it for Jazz. Have already booked Nick again. Would recommend without reservation.
Harry was very happy and we were delighted with his care while we had a day out at Alton Towers. Highly recommend Nicola 😊🌟
Really felt safe leaving Nicola in charge of my pets, would highly recommend him to look after your animals, my cats were really calm and happy when i returned home from my holiday.
Nicola was fantastic with our young puppy while we attended Alton towers for the day (About 15 mins away) and looked like she had a lovely time in his garden.

Schedule
I work flexibly from home a few days a week, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and company they need. I like taking regular breaks throughout the day, which are perfect for walks, playtime in the garden, cuddles or simply spending some quality time together. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, and with a little notice I can usually be quite flexible.

- Before looking after your dog, I’d love to know a little about their usual routine, feeding schedule, personality, toilet habits and any special needs or preferences they may have. As I have two children and two cats at home, it’s important for me to know how your dog is around children and other animals. My children love animals and are very comfortable around them. During the week, they’re at school for most of the day, so depending on the length of your dog’s stay, they may not interact with them very much. My cats will be kept safely in a separate area of the house, so they won’t need to interact with your dog. Please also let me know about anything else that will help me make your dog feel safe, comfortable and at home during their stay.
