Give A Dog A Roam

I love animals. I have looked after numerous dogs over the years, including my best friend Bounce, the Springer Spaniel in the photos. Sadly he passed away recently and I have a lot of love to give another dog. I would treat your dog like Bounce. I would give them love and attention and play with them as much as possible. I can walk and look after dogs up to 40kg. I am happy to sit with your pet in your home, walk your dog or drop in and check in on your furry friend including feeding them and ensuring they have enough water. I would be happy to brush your dog, (though I am not a groomer), collect your post and water plants. I would be happy to look after multiple pets. I know that like me, your pet is your best friend and you want the best for them. I can give them fun, love, exercise and plenty of cuddles, everything a dog could ever want. Walks are 30 minutes, i will spend at least 30 minutes with your pet when doing a home I will ensure the house is safe and secure with locked doors; closing windows when I leave and switch on lights and close curtains accordingly. I will also send you messages when looking after your dog. I would love to meet your pet and start to look after them the way they deserve to be looked after. I woof forward to hearing from you soon. For requests over 5 miles from my home there is a £5 fuel surcharge.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always keep your dog on the lead when out on walks. In your home I will make sure your dog is not left unattended while I am sitting with them and on a home visit I will make sure your dog is safely secure in your home ensuring all external doors are closed and windows where necessary. I work with my partner and sister to provide full coverage care.

Nicola did a great job looking after our two cats. She was reliable and thoughtful with great communication, and we felt reassured they were in good hands.

Nicola was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She looked after our home and our two dogs for two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our youngest, Hugo, isn’t the easiest to settle and can be a bit of a handful, but Nicola handled him effortlessly with no fuss, no drama, just calm, capable care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. She was accommodating, thoughtful, and clearly takes real pride in what she does. We came home to happy dogs and a well looked after house, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola and will 100% be booking her again.
