About Nick

Having been raised by dogs :) I am more than happy to take care of any friendly animals for as long as you need. A day, a weekend or weeks of holiday, you take care of you and I'll look after your beloved. I grew up on a farm so we always were looking after lots of dogs, cats, geese, sheep, fish & other animals. I have looked after 60+ freinds' pets - mostly cats & small dogs when they go on holiday. Happy to help! My greatest experience on my last holiday was volunteering at an animal rescue centre - it was a pleasure & honour that the monkeys picked me to play with, over the 10 others! I'm told I have a good open energy that animals pick up on. 

Pets staying at my place ONLY if they are properly houstrained! :) We have carpets so any accidents will need professional cleaning. Crystal Palace park is 5 mins walk away and we have a shared back garden.

Please respond to my standard questions when requesting dogsitting:

1. Your dog(s) can cope for how long alone?

2. How much exercise is needed per day?

3. OK with other dogs (I typically have a friendly spaniel all day on Mondays & Wednesdays)?

4. OK with Children? I often have my 5-year-old niece staying, please let me know if this an issue.

5. Barking habits at home?

6. Allowed on sofas and beds?

7. Anything else I need to know eg leash behaviour, quirks etc?

Many thanks!

Nick was flexible in offering the initial meet and greet and asked all the right questions to understand how best to care for my dogs. During the sit he provided updates and mentioned things that showed he was attentive to them and their personalities. Thanks Nick we will definitely book you again

I contacted Nick to look after my dog and stay with him at my place for 1 week. I had an emergency and thankfully Nick reacted to my request very fast. I was impressed by the professionalism and set-up, I received pictures and feedback while I was away. He's honest and reliable person.

My dog Max seemed to be treated good and really liked his new pet-sitter.

Thank you Nick, we will be back!
