Pet care experience
Looking for poochies to look after!
I’ve had dogs my entire life but have now moved out of my family home and looking for some lovely poochies to care for to keep me company! As you can see there is a recurring little fur lady in my pictures. She is my niece Pam, an Isabella Dapple Miniature Daschund. She lives quite far from me and I miss her lots, so it would be nice to have some cuddles in the meantime from some other fluffy poochies!

Nicola R. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Very happy leaving Rockford with Nicola. She looked after him well and it looks like they had a great time.
Without a shadow of doubt the best dog sitter we have ever had. Daily updates & amazing photos. Put our mind at rest from the moment I dropped my dog off with Nicola. Dottie cant wait to stay with you again 🙂 We cant thank you enough ❤️ xx
Amazing. Honey loved her stay and I think was quite disappointed about having to come home. Thank you xx
Nicola was a great house sitter for us with our two dogs that have very different needs. Stan an old Bull terrier had loves and treats.Whereas Ivy a two year old Weimarana needed a lot more! Nicola provided her with new adventures and even introduced her to some other dogs on long walks with her friends! Thank you Nicola!
Nicola did a great job looking after my old girl. Due to a heart problem my girl has lots of medication - this was not a problem for Nicola. I got daily photos and updates and it was clear to see everyone was having a great time! It has been a huge relief knowing that she was looked after in such a loving and caring environment. She loves Nicola and I would have no hesitation booking her in again and certainly plan to do so!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have a garden as I live in a quarter house but make daily trips to Twigmoor Woods and other local walking spots and I’m very active - your dog will get at least two walks a day depending on energy levels. My house is secure and always locked, even when I am in. It is a very friendly and safe neighbourhood in Kirton.
A typical day
Being in the countryside means lots of great walking routes! For more high-energy poochies Twigmoor and Broughton are great local woods to have a good run around! Or there is Ashby Ville for more chilled out poochies who just want to potter around and have a sniff on a shorter route. Dogs will not be taken off their lead on walks, regardless of how well behaved they are with owners, to protect both your dog and other dogs on walks with me. There are also some great dog friendly hotspots like Brigg Garden Centre and The Lodge so your pooch can come along with me as I potter around and purchase some plants (and dog treats!) For an additional fee there is a local dog field for energetic poochies who wish to be off the lead safely and enjoy some zoomies. The field charges £5 for half an hour and £10 for an hour. Please let me know at the time of booking if you would like to book a field, and for how many times during the stay.
