About Nicola

Hey, I'm Nicky, 30 years old :) I absolutely love animals and have a dog who is a kelpie x border collie called Zephyr (see photos in my profile!). He is my little shadow and best friend.

I have been brought up with large family dogs including Rottweilers, German Shepards and Mastiffs. So I am used to walking and looking after larger boistrous dogs. Opposite to big doggies, I have also had cats so am happy to mind them too as well as smaller dogs. 

Motivation and experience to be a pet sitter:

I have a love for animals great and small since I was a child. This love and passion lead me to study a Bachelor of Science (Biology) degree. I have volunteered at an auqarium and worked as a Marine Biologist so have extensive hands on experience with animals as well as my own pets.

My services:

  • I am offering pet sitting (Puppies, Dogs and Cats) including overnight stays at your house. 
  • I also offer dog/puppy walking at nearby parks and I will guarantee to give a lot of cuddles to your furry friend. 
  • Unfortunately I cannot offer to board any dogs at this stage due to living with my housemates dog too.
  • Please feel free to message me if you have any further questions as I would love the opportunity to help look after your furry big or small pet/s!!

    Nicola did a fantastic job with Duke. She constantly kept us updated and sent through pictures of a very happy Duke. Nicola is kind and loving towards your pet and I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola as a pet sitter. We will definitely be using Nicola in the future when required.

    Nicola was great with her communication, she responded in a timely manner as well as updated me whilst away with photos and messages.

    Jackson our cat thoroughly enjoyed her company and she took very good care of him.

    I will certainly be using Nicola again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a responsible and caring sitter for there much adored pets.
