Pet care experience
I love caring for dogs & cats.
I have over 30 years experience of owning 4 dogs & 2 cats & have been trusted to look after many others through family, friends or my work as a dogwalker. I have enjoyed caring for all dog sizes, ages & health conditions.

Ratings and reviews
Rover Review for Nicola Nicola and her family were so lovely and welcoming. You can instantly tell how much they genuinely love animals, and Ovo was so well looked after during his stay. He was exercised, spoilt with attention and treated like one of their own every day. I was initially quite anxious about leaving Ovo with someone outside of the family for the first time, but Nicola completely put me at ease from the moment I met her. She kept me updated every day with lovely pictures and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. I’m sure Ovo can’t wait for his next sleepover with them!
Couldn't ask for a better home boarder. Nicola took a wonderfull care of my chihuahua and provided daily updates and photos/videos. I would highly recommend Nicola. Her calming presence and immeadiate bond and affection made me feel at ease knowing he is loved and well taken care of.
A beautiful home and such kind and caring people. Stanley seemed very happy and settled with Nicola, would highly recommend as their love and care for dogs is abundant! Thanks so much
Nicola (and Darren) were absolutely wonderful and so welcoming to our sausage dog! They have a beautiful home and garden, and it’s clear they have a wealth of experience looking after dogs. Nicola kept us updated throughout our dog's stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was thoroughly spoiled—she was taken for a lovely walk in the nearby woods, slept in a very comfy bed, and was given a squeaky toy and endless cuddles. In fact, she was so happy she didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick her up! Thank you both so much. I highly recommend them to anyone!
Trusting people to care for a senior dog as they are cared for at home is such a worry, but I found the perfect family to care for my Ben for the weekend, seeing him interact with Nicola and her family was lovely, seeing the photo's of him making himself at home reassured me he was being treated like their own dog, I would 100% recommend, and will absolutely use again
Nicola looked after for Ellie over 4 nights during the heatwave and she was amazing. She ensured Ellie had a walk early morning before the heat set in, sent me frequent photos and updates throughout the day and cared for Ellie as if she was her own. Nicola was happy to follow the guidance I gave for Ellie, particularly as she can be reactive around certain triggers. I’d highly recommend Nicola and definitely book in again 😊

Safety, trust & environment
I am an animal lover and look forward to caring for your beloved pets. I have a pet friendly house & enclosed fenced garden which your pet is welcome to explore. Country or forest walks are only 5 minutes away to keep you furry friends happy, healthy & fit. Happy for them to snuggle up on sofas & beds with blankets.
A typical day
Fun walks, chasing balls, with lots of attention & cuddles. Enclosed garden to explore. Games, toys and quiet time to rest. One to one attention throughout the day.
