About Nick

Hi, my name is Nick and I live with my five-year-old pug Florence.

I'm a complete dog lover and I have had dogs all my life, mostly small breeds like pugs and dachshunds. I've cared for friends' dogs and pets while they've been away overnight or on longer holidays.

I live with Florence who is a very good-natured pug. She gets on well with other dogs and loves to go for a walk, but then she falls asleep on my lap afterward.

I love sharing my home with other dogs who need love and attention while their parents are away. It keeps me active and provides k9 company for Florence.

I live in a 2-storey detached house with a fully enclosed garden in a village near the Norfolk Broads with excellent road links. It's about 5 miles out of Norwich.

I'm an active person and we love the beach and countryside. If your dog prefers a more passive stay, I'm good with cuddling too. Your dog can expect a lot of attention and love 💕.

I'm self-employed and work from home, or anywhere I can plug in my laptop. I've a very flexible schedule so there's plenty of time for one-to-one attention and playtime. Your dog's schedule can easily become mine.

I'll only care for one other dog in my own home but I'm very happy to care for two dogs in your home. Looking after other small pets is fine too. I'm used to feeding pond fish as well as the wild birds. I've looked after friends' guinea pigs too.

I've been DBS checked and I'm reliable and trustworthy. I'm very happy to meet with you and your dog before you trust me to look after them.

I'm used to dogs of all ages including the elderly. I can administer medication, eye drops, and anything else your pet needs. Ear cleaning and over-nose wrinkles are a specialty of mine! Let me know if your dog needs special attention, or care or has specific requirements and I'll do my very best to accommodate their needs.

My goal is to make your dog feel at home and loved while you're away, and to make you feel confident that they'll be cared for in a loving environment.

I know the anxieties that come with leaving your dog while you're away, I've used Rover myself. I'll take regular photos of your pet and send them to you, answer any questions or queries you have, and do what I can to put your mind at ease so you can enjoy your holiday. 

The services I offer are 

Feeding, walking, brushing, washing, cleaning nose and ears, and lots of cuddles.

Cannot praise Nick enough. He kept us updated with pictures every day & we were happy in the knowledge that Nick is a very experienced sitter & looked after our dog so well. We would definitely want Nick to look after him again . Thank you again Nick.

Nick was fantastic and looked after our animals extremely well. Lots of picture updates and he made a friend for life with our dog. We've already discussed with him about sitting again for us next year!
