About Nicola

Hi im Nicky, I am a huge animal lover who has grown up with pets mainly dogs as well as guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters. I am passionate about pets having the best time as they so rightly deserve which is why I pet sit. I am currently unable to have my own furry friend at the moment so pet sitting is a great way to hang out with them as well as giving the owners peice of mind that there beloved pets are in good hands. I have a lot of experience in caring for animals, dogs in particular. 

I have always been around family and friends dogs and have spent 2 months volunteering at a dog rescue centre in Thailand. I also spent 5 weeks volunteering at a dog and cat shelter in Portugal, as you can imagine at these places there are all sorts of dogs, some with behavourial issues. I am happy to continue any training that you have in place, I am used to walking more energetic dogs as well as quiter timid ones. 

I am not able to have animals in my home so I would be either visiting in the day or pet sitting in the owners home, also happy just to come and check in with them, dog walk etc. I have pet sitted previously for my teacher friends dog during the pandemic and he was always a happy customer!

I will always do my best to ensure your pet has a brilliant time

For the one home visit it would be an hour, I can change water feed pets, clean litter trays and give your pets lots of fuss.

Dog walks minimum of 30 minutes dependent on dogs needs, would usually walk dogs up to an hour but understand not all dogs will want to walk for that long so this can be adapted to your dogs requirements

When housesitting your pet will be left as little as possible.

I am very security concious so will always check doors and windows are closed and locked both when in the house and when leaving. Happy to water plants etc if required

House Sitting

I would 100% recommend Nicola. from the first contact and meeting her, she made me feel at ease. she was so gentle, and my labrador instantly took to her.

she listened and took everything on board. She knew I was slightly anxious in leaving him with a stranger and made everything so simple and easy. she came and met Jake twice before staying with him and when she did she kept me up to date and sent photos. Will definitely be using again in the future..thank you 😊

House Sitting

Couldn't recommend Nicola enough. She was a great sitter for our dog who is a large dog with a high prey drive. She has been brilliant, very friendly and down to earth. She clearly loves animals as our dog Poppy had a brilliant time, we were kept updated throughout the week with updates and pictures. The house was left very clean and we will definitely be using Nicola again.
