I work from home most of the time, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I tailor the day depending on the dog’s needs—whether that’s quiet time, mental stimulation, or longer walks or runs.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs have a calm, safe, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular walks and playtime in my secure fenced yard. I will always tailor care to each dog's personality and energy level. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with no other animals or children, which helps reduce stress and allows me to focus fully on their comfort and wellbeing. I'll stick closely to any routines and instructions provided to make sure the dog feels safe and secure. I'll take time to build trust, keep the environment calm and consistent, and send regular updates.

Loving & Experienced Dog Sitter Near Heaton Park

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nigel, a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, fun, and loving home for your four-legged friend! 🐾 I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. I live near Heaton Park, perfect for long walks, and I have a secure fenced yard where your dog can play and enjoy the fresh air. I love playing ball and engaging dogs with toys, ensuring they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including those who may be reactive or have special needs. Having owned a Border Staffie cross and a Parson Russell Staffie cross—one of whom was reactive—I understand how to read a dog's body language and provide a calm, structured environment. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with challenging behaviours, so I’m happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your dog loves social walks in Heaton Park, prefers a quiet stroll on a long lead around Prestwich, or would enjoy an adventure in a secure dog agility field, I’ll tailor their experience to their needs. If they just want to curl up by the fire, that’s fine too—I want them to feel at home. I live alone in a pet- and child-free house, ensuring a quiet and stress-free stay. As a keen runner, I’m more than happy to take high-energy dogs on longer runs—or just let them enjoy a cosy, relaxed stay if that’s more their style. No matter their personality, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very happy to meet with you and your dog before any booking so we can get to know each other and ensure a great fit. Looking forward to meeting you both! 🐶✨

Another fantastic overnight stay for Hero. She seems really relaxed in Nigel’s company and goes in wagging every time. He is great at picking up on her wants and needs. Thank you! It makes leaving her so much easier.

Another great visit for Hero. It was her first overnight stay and she had a great time. Wagged her tail on the way in and again on the way out! Nigel kept us updated throughout and made sure Hero was happy and comfortable. Thank you!
