I am a keen animal lover and I am most happiest when I’m surrounded by animals.

I can’t recommend Nicola enough, she has been great from the start. Very professional, friendly and was so good with Ria as soon as she met her. Great communication, she lets us know when she is on her for pick up and sends us photos of the walks which I love. Ria has clearly been enjoying her walks so thank you :) More...

Nicola is amazing! We’d be completely lost without her. She’s so reliable, kind and loves our dog as if he’s her own. She never lets us down, goes out if her way to help us and is always so thoughtful in everything she does! You honestly can’t go wrong with Nicola. She’s the best x More...

We've only been using Nicola's services for a couple of weeks but we've already built a strong trust in her. Our fur ball is like a member of our family so we needed to make sure he was in good hands. Nicola is really attentive and caring. Also really flexible to suit changing schedules. Not sure how we managed without her and Rocco loves her too - he is quite clingy but really happy to go off with Nicola, a testament to her. Can't imagine anyone else looking after our pooch. More...

I left my rabbits for a week with Nicola while I moved house- I’m so glad I did she has a lovely set up where the bunnies can run free in the garden - she treated them as if they were her own and sent me regular pictures and updates. Would definitely leave my bunnies at Nicola’s again I’m so glad I found her! Thank you More...

There are no word s
To describe how fantastic Nicola is. She goes above and beyond to look after my pups. They love her and knowing she is there for them while I am at work makes my life a little less stressful.
I get pictures showing me how much fun they are having and they are generally happier puppies now she is around.

I can't think of anyone better suited to looking after your dog. Nicola's so caring and knowledgeable about our dogs, she really loves doing her very best for them - whatever you agree with her, she'll always carry out her promises. Can't recommend her highly enough.

All I can say is amazing!!!!!! Friendly, reliable, informative and just really great with our dog. We had just moved house and the dog had gone from being part of a pack to a single dog on her own and (Hilda our dog) had real territory issues with the new house and was reluctant with anyone that even entered the house. Nicola persevered with her and we are so pleased she did and I really think it has helped Hilda in more ways then one. Hilda is happy and loves her walks. A real weight off of our mind that Nicola is available to walk and interact with the dog while we are at work. More...

What do you love most about your job?
This is an easy question; working with animals!
As a child my dream was to become a vet, however as life took a different path this wasn’t possible so getting to spend my days with animals is a truly wonderful and amazing thing for me.
I adore animals of all shapes and sizes and spending time with them is the best thing in the world for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been running my own successful business for 6 years but unfortunately in something I am no longer passionate about.
My dream has always been to work with animals and I have now "bitten the bullet" and started a new business providing dog walking and pet care which I hope will be as successful as my previous business as I give 100% in everything I do.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am friendly, reliable, trust worthy and professional.
I am besotted with dogs and you can rest assured that your pets will be safe and well looked after whilst they are in my care.
I am fully insured, DBS certificated and I am trained in pet first aid.
I am very flexible and will try my best to accommodate everyone’s requirements.
I have been told on many occasions I go above and beyond what is expected of me when caring for your animals.
