Highlights
Pet care experience
A young family who love dogs
I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have plenty of experience caring for different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I feel confident handling a wide range of needs. I’m based in a family home and have a toddler who absolutely adores dogs. We often spend time outdoors, enjoying walks and visiting the park where we can say hello to the neighbourhood dogs. It is very important that any dog in my care must be comfortable around young children and have a gentle temperament. Your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll treat your dog like part of our family. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away, and I’m always open to discussing your pet’s specific needs to ensure the best possible care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Nicola and her family were very welcoming and warm with our dog. They took good care and sent regular photos and updates. Would recommend gladly.
What a fabulously adoring & wonderful family who took brilliant care of our dog. Nicola was flexible thoughtful & helpful in every way. We will definitely book again, thank you so much.
Lovely family who looked after our dogs perfectly. Great communication and very caring. My first ever sitter experience and it went well 😊 so grateful
Nicola took wonderful care of Dennis, she was a great communicator and sent gorgeous pictures. Dennis was a little anxious as it was his first night somewhere new, but Nicola handled it perfectly. Dennis came back happy and tired from his wonderful walks. I will definitely book with Nicola again.

Schedule
I work full-time but am home two days during the week, where I’m able to provide more consistent companionship, walks, and supervision throughout the day. On weekdays when I’m working, I ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave, with quality time, walks, and attention in the mornings and evenings. I’m available for boarding over weekends, when I can offer plenty of time, longer walks, and lots of attention as part of our family routine. We enjoy getting outdoors, so dogs in my care will benefit from regular fresh air and exercise. I’m happy to be flexible where possible and will always prioritise your pet’s routine, comfort, and wellbeing. Please feel free to message me to discuss specific needs or schedules!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to enjoy fresh air and playtime. We’re also within walking distance of a lovely park and forest, so your dog will benefit from regular walks in calm, green surroundings. I have a toddler who is very gentle and used to being around dogs, so any pets staying with us should be comfortable around young children and have a calm, friendly temperament. All interactions are always closely supervised to ensure a safe and positive environment.
