Let me know if you have any specific details about your dog you want me to follow, whether it’s a medication, location to walk, treats to give, etc.

A typical day

We usually follow a good routine. In the morning, I let the dogs out in the garden for a potty break, feed them and then walk them (after they have digested) , this is following by a rest and then the evening has playtime, light training, and enrichment activities I typically feed them again in the evening and go for a nice long evening walk before bed.

Pet care experience

I am a full-time dog sitter and walker with 10 years' experience caring for dogs of various sizes, from Rottweilers to pugs. During this time, I have learned that each dog is unique and has its own specific needs. My approach focuses on meeting each dogs needs: health, exercise, food, sleep and enrichment - whether that be a puppy needing hourly toilet breaks, a high-energy dog requiring lots of exercise and mental stimulation, or a senior needing medication. I can also support training. I am trained in canine first aid and dog behaviour and always carry an first aid kit.

So grateful to have met Nikola and have someone take such good care of my babies. I do a lot with them to keep them stimulated and well behaved, and Nikola did just that. She brought my two on lovely walks, I received loads of updates, pictures and videos which really calmed my nerves about leaving them behind. Nikola walked to my house to collect the babies so we had a fantastic introduction and walked them back to hers giving them a fantastic bit of exercise and time to get to know her. Shadow and Nala were introduced to other dogs too and had a brilliant time, they got a lot of enrichment too. I felt that they were well loved and looked after, it was amazing to have someone take such good care of my little ones. I couldn't have asked for anything better ❤️

Cant rate Nikola highly enough. My doggies were very happy coming home and I got plenty of updates when I was away for peace of mind!
