Pet care experience

School teacher, dog mum and animal lover 🥰

I have owned my own dog for 9 years and have trained him myself from being a very reactive, nervous pup to being the goodest of boys. He is fantastic with children and all animals big or small. I have no prior professional experience walking dogs as I am a full time primary school teacher but absolutely adore dogs (all animals really…) and I’m looking for a bit of extra work and couldn’t think of a better way to spend my mornings, evenings and weekends than walking doggos. 🐶 I understand as a pet owner how much our fur babies mean to us and would take care of them and treat them as my own when they are in my care.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 28, 2025

I had Nicola look after my little treasure Bella (Tuxedo cat) for four days while I had a short break. Nicola came tor an introductory visit first & Bella who is a timid little girl until she gets to know you, came out as soon as I gave Nicola a couple of treats to give to Bella. I knew then that they would be fine & Bella would be well looked after. Bella was really well looked after & I will certainly be having Nicola again. I am very happy with the care given.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for pets in their own home by following usual routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of toilet breaks, and daily exercise suited to their age and energy level. I will spend quality time giving them affection, play, and enrichment. I will treat every pet as if they were my own, and I will keep homes clean, secure, and just as the owner left it — with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day would follow the pet owners normal routine to ensure your pet feels reassured and calm. Fun activities for myself and my own dog include lots of walks and exploring new places together, games and lots and lots of playing with the ball! Lots of cuddles, affection and mental stimulation through enrichment games. But like I mentioned previously, my typical day will consist of whatever the pet owners would like me to do!
