Dog Lover with Rescue Experience ❤️
Pet care experience
Ever since I can remember, I’ve lived in a household with dogs. I’ve grown up with them and had my own and I absolutely adore them! I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs of a nervous nature. A few years ago, I rescued a Shih Tzu/Yorkie Cross from Hungary. She had moderate to severe separation anxiety and was overall quite a nervous dog on arrival. We embarked on a lot of training together and in time, she became a totally different dog! It took her a good year to fully decompress, but watching her progress and seeing the positive changes in her were so rewarding. More recently, I’ve started dog sitting for my friends and family and I enjoy it so much that I thought, why not cast the net a little wider and sign up to be a full time dog sitter for others!? I currently live in a 2 bedroom flat with my boyfriend in Tonbridge (also a dog lover!). I understand some this may not be ideal, however, I have lots of open, green space on my doorstep. I’m super laid back when it comes to dogs being allowed on furniture. If your dog is crate trained then great but otherwise, I’m happy to have them wherever they feel most comfortable. Ultimately, I want to make caring for your dog an enjoyable and positive experience for them.
Reviews
Nicole was fantastic with my dog Charlie. He can be a bit nervous when he’s in new places and with new people, but she knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable and gave me loads of updates to let me know he was getting on ok. I will definitely be using her again, Charlie had a great time!
So pleased and happy that we found Nicole on Rover! Nicole and her partner Rhys stayed in our home and looked after our dog for 4 nights while we were away. We received regular updates and photos which meant we could relax on our trip without worrying about the dog. All of our dog’s needs were met (including cuddles in bed!) and Nicole and Rhys are such lovely people, the whole dog/home-sitting experience with them was brilliant. Will definitely be asking Nicole if she can look after our dog in future! ♥️
Nicole and her partner both clearly adore dogs and ours had a great time!! Would recommend Nicole to anyone and Reuben couldn't wait to get back for another holiday at hers!
Nicole was absolutely brilliant and took Reuben out for lots of nice long walks! Reuben was welcomed onto sofas and I was sent lots of photos of him being spoilt and plenty of playtime. Had no doubt he had a fab time and Nicole was great at communicating - Reuben's looking forward to his next visit!!

Safety, trust & environment
Although I do not have a garden, the close where I live is very quiet and secure, with lots of walking opportunities nearby - there is a lovely park just a 5 minute walk away and plenty of fields within the surrounding area. Haysden Country Park is also a 10 minute walk away.

Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or requirements that I need to be mindful of i.e any allergies, dietary preferences, specific habits or tendencies to look out for.
A typical day
There will be lots of walks to the local park! I also have toys and a lick mat that will keep them occupied for hours on end if that’s what they enjoy.

Availability
I work from home most days. There may be a need for me to travel to the office (Central London) every now and then, but my employer is very happy to allow dogs to the office when this is the case, providing this is something your are also happy with.
