Safety, trust & environment

I never have more than 2/3 dogs at a time (depending on size) to ensure I have capacity to look after all fairly with the same care. At minimum I walk twice per day, usually three is weather allows and never leave the dogs at home alone for longer than half an hour, or never if the dogs do not know each other. On top of a medium-large sized garden I have a doggy bedroom where dogs can go to relax and get their own space. Plus there are wood floors throughout so that it’s very hypoallergenic.

Information Nicola S. would like to know about your pet

Always keen to get any information on what makes your dog most happiest and what to avoid! For example, ambient music or avoiding loud noises at home (such like washing machine!)

A typical day

If a dog is fit/young enough for a run I sometimes do that, or agility in the local park, and I have a set of puzzles at home also! I tend to vary the parks I go to so dogs are always stimulated with new environments as well as for coffee dates :)

Nicola and her family are brilliant with Rocky. We can leave him and know he is well looked after and loved, so much so he doesn't want to come home! We're so grateful to have found Nicola and cant recommend her enough.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
