NEW SCHEDULE: I will be working from an office in Leeds on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7th October 2025. If a long term booking comes in, my partner or family will take over care during the daytime or I will request to work from home for the duration of your pet’s stay. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this and I’ll be more than happy to answer! My partner and I work from home 3/4 days per week with both of us being out on a Tuesday. We have several helpers who stay at our house on the days we are both out. We can arrange our schedule to fit your pets needs. We can adhere to any diet routines or training schedules so your pets can keep up good behaviours and feel comfortable in a new environment. I do a lot of walking, so your pooch can join me for a walk that best suits them. There are lots of dog-friendly places in my neighbourhood, so your dog will join me basically everywhere I go!

Safety, trust & environment

I can stay at home with your dog for the length of the booking, and will walk them exactly how they need - whether it be a short walk or a country park hike. I can do paid extras such as nail clipping and bathing and am first aid trained for both animals and humans. Our dog sleeps on the sofa but if your dog feels comfortable in the bedroom we can also accommodate this. I am really cautious when it comes to the weather, so I will ALWAYS double check the pavement on particularly hot days and usually do long walks early morning and late evening. Please be aware that I have a German Shepherd, a dog-savvy cat and two free-roam house rabbits that are generally locked away for the duration of your pet’s stay. If your dog is friendly with small furries, please let me know, as the bunnies love friendly dogs! We have done many professional introductions of dogs to rabbits and cats for the first time. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know. All of our animals have met many dogs and we have not had an issue with any of our visiting dogs so far.

Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet

- Is your pet okay with other dogs in the home from other families? - Are they aggressive towards or excited by small animals? - Are they toilet-trained? - Do they have any dietary requirements? - Are they allowed off-lead walks? - Are they good in public settings i.e. cafes and bars?

A typical day

Your pets can expect lots of cuddles and can get plenty of exercise as there is a trail next to my home for long walks. I can adapt to any routine your animals might be used to, as my work day is extremely flexible. I do find most dogs that I board play and sleep next to me during the entire work day, so they will never be alone!

Flexible, friendly & experienced pet care

Pet care experience

I am an ex-pet care advisor, grooming assistant and nutritionist for all animal types including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and freshwater fish. In my previous job, I was lucky to have attended many pet-focused events such as Dog Fest and Crufts to provide advice for owners across the country. I have a first-class honours degree in BSc Biology with a focus on adaptive behaviour and nutrition. I feel really confident in meeting pets for the first time regardless of their background - I’ve looked after puppies, elderly dogs and rescue dogs with tough upbringings and have formed a really close bond with all of them.

Arlo had another fun and busy day with Nicole and 2 doggy friends. Thank you for keeping him entertained. He slept well after his visit!

Arlo has been looked after by Nicole twice now. Each time he has arrived home tired and happy, having played hard with his new lovely 4 legged friend Willow the German Shepherd. Nicole also sent lots of lovely photos of the friends having an ace time together! We are both looking forward to his next visit and would definitely recommend Nicole to others.
