Pet care experience

Responsible, total animal lover

Hey, I'm Nicola! Total animal lover and responsible pet sitter. I understand that leaving your dog can be an anxious and worrying time and that you want to leave them in the best care possible whilst you're away so it's important to find the right care for your pets when your away. I'm comfortable with many different sizes and breeds of dog and love to walk, play, cuddle and train dogs. I have specific experience with nervous/anxious dogs that need a little more time getting to know you but am also comfortable with busy, high-energy dogs. I can communicate with you and send updates of your lovely pets whilst you are away so that you are free to enjoy your time away reassured that your pets are in good hands until you return. I'm available primarily for walks, drop-in visits and daycare for your lovely pets.

Dog Walking • Mar 16, 2026

We just moved to the area and needed to find a new dog walker to look after our dog Alcides. We booked Nicola for day care last week and she did a fantastic job looking after our doggie. She came around for a meet and greet first and Alcides who is very energetic settled very well with her and seemed very calm right from the beginning. It was clear that she has experience with high energy dogs and she asked many questions to find out more about Alcides and what care he needed. On the day she looked after him we received regular updates, took the dog on a nice long walk, and overall did a fab job looking after him. We were very pleased that Alcides was happy and relaxed when we got back. Will definitely book again!

Nicola recently looked after our 1 year old staffy and was brilliant with him. He's firmly in his boisterous teenage phase, but Nicola managed him amazingly and in line with our training methods. Nicola provided regular updates, which were much appreciated. Will definitely be booking again :) Thank you Nicola!

Nicola has looked after my pets during a recent trip abroad and everything was very straightforward and easy. She understood everything we needed and sent us photos of our dog whilst we were away which was lovely- I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after them next time we go away!

Let me know if your pet has any behavioural traits or notable health issues that it would be useful to be aware of e.g. nervous around new people, doesn't like dogs, arthritis. This is very helpful to help me have a good understanding of your pets needs when I meet them.
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.
