Pet care experience

Caring and enthusiastic dog lover

I have always had a dog in my life as far back as I can remember, from Yorkshire Terriers to German Shepherds I love them all. My most recent dog sadly passed away after a long struggle with a heart murmur but she received the very best care until the very end. Currently I frequently look after out friend’s Maltipoo puppy who is just such a joy!

Nicola was fantastic with my dog Myla. . Nicola was also vey helpful with timing. She looked after Myla so well in the extreme heat. Myla was happy and chilled when I picked her up. Can’t speak highly enough of Nicola. Thank you

Our whippet was perfectly happy with Nicola for the day. She sent a pic of her snoozing which set my mind at rest. Will book again!

Nicola was great. Very attentive and friendly. Hazel loved staying with her, I could see that she fully relaxed very quickly by photos provided. Thank you Nicola! 🐾

Nicola, along with Sam, made our dog totally welcome in their home. He'd clearly had a lovely day! Thank you.

Nicole was amazing with our dog, Benji. He is usually very anxious around other people and dogs but Nicole managed to make him go for a walk with 2 other dogs. We received regular updates from Nicole, including photos and videos. We highly recommend Nicole to look after your dog and would happily book her again to look after Benji.

I have known Nicola for over 10 years and have always found her to be very kind, thoughtful and super caring about any of her own pets and of course with other peoples' as well. She has a really lovely nature and connects immediately especially with dogs and always tries to understand exactly what they're thinking so they're not anxious in any new situations. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs as I understand she has owned or cared for dogs most of her life. She is very responsible with the care provided to any pets as she always looks at all situations from the pet's point of view so as to ensure the pets are always happy and safe. We always feel very happy letting Nicola look after our two dogs knowing they will always be safe and happy under her care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced garden and no dogs of my own so your fur baby will receive my full care and attention! I would love to hear about your dogs routines and habits so that I can provide them the best care

A typical day

I absolutely love walking in Richmond park, when my own dog was still with us we would take her there everyday for a nice walk in the fresh air

I really appreciate having as much information about your dogs routines, behaviours and any quirks so that I can make sure my care is just an extension of what you would normally do and their routines aren’t disturbed
