Most importantly, I’ll spend time with your pet fussing or simply offering some company – dependant on their preferences.

Benefits of pet visits
Pets are cared for on their own territory, which is much less stressful for them. Homes with multiple pets are catered for. Home security is enhanced, giving you peace of mind whilst you’re on holiday.
*Pricing may vary dependant on services required/number of pets/distance travelled.
Free pre-service visit
An informal visit where I visit you and your pet/s at home for around half an hour. This gives me the opportunity to meet your pets and discuss your requirements. I will gather detailed information about your pet’s likes/dislikes, any special routine/requirements. My goal is to provide the best possible care for your loved one, please be open and give as much information as possible. We can then discuss what you want from Ollie’s Pet Care and tailor make an agreement to suit you and your pet’s needs.
If you have any questions/queries, please feel free to call or email me and I shall endeavour to meet your needs.

What cat and pet owners say
Claire Pannukakku - February 2025
Nik has looked after my two scaredy house cats on a couple of occasions and managed to get photos of them nearly every visit (skillz!). It gives me great peace of mind when I'm away and she texts me to let me know she's been and seen them both, l really appreciate the service, it calms my anxious brain! :-) XX
Jenny Sanders - September 2023
Nik popped in to look after my piggies whilst away. Initial meeting to understand them was really detailed. Sent us lovely pics through. Would recommend and will definitely reuse!
Andy Simpson - November 2021
Nik was very professional and friendly when we met her to discuss Oscar. He can be a bit of bugger with people he doesn't know but Nik won him round after only a few visits. By the end of her time looking after him she had a new furry friend! It's really good to know that we can leave Oscar in Nik's capable hands in the future, safe in the environment he knows so there's no distress of him going to a chattery. We thoroughly recommend Nik for all your pet sitting needs, and we will defiantly be using her services again.

Melissa Thomas - November 2019
Fabulous! Nik is friendly, professional and reliable. More importantly she loves what she does, she kept our five cats safe, well fed, and well loved. I would recommend and definitely use again.
Thank you Nik love from Teddy, Rover, Psycho, Maggie and Soots xx
Shannon Leafe - August 2019
Nik popped in and fed our extremely nervous cat, Hollie, over the last couple of days. She was extremely helpful and lovely! She sent us WhatsApp messages and pictures after she had visited! She even managed to give Hollie a little bit of fuss and got a purr which is extremely difficult to do! It put our minds at rest whilst we enjoyed my sisters wedding! I will definitely be using Ollie’s Pet Care again in the future!
Louise Barnes - July 2019
Had to leave our two 15 week old kittens for the first time and couldn’t have asked for a better person to check in on them. Fantastic service Nik kept in touch regularly which really set my mind at ease, the cats loved her to bits would recommend her to anyone. Will definitely be using her again.
Maria Carratt - July 2019
Nik looked after my trio of moggies Zoe 16yrs, Dylan 8yrs and Jasper 4 months. She also walked my dad's elderly dog Tess! Whilst on holiday I had regular fun updates including photos, putting my mind at ease that all was well.
Thank you so much Nik, we all thoroughly recommend you
Julie Kitts - June 2019
I contacted Nik as we needed a one off visit for our 4 cats. From the moment she entered our home the cats took too her immediately. She made a note of everything that was important and all their individual idiosyncrasies.. she made us feel at ease so we was able to be away but not worried about our babies. We got pictures and texts letting know they where safe and and happy.. We will recommend Nik to all our friends who have animals and will not hesitate to use her again.
Louise Purser - April 2019
I used Nik at Ollie’s Petcare services while I was away for a week to look after my pet giant rabbit. Bernard is not the friendliest of rabbits and can be quite aggressive, so I am always a little reticent about new people looking after him. However, it would appear that Nik has a little bit of animal magic about her and she and Bernard got on like a house on fire. Nik kept me updated throughout my week away and even sent me pictures. I found this really reassuring and a genuinely nice touch. I have since used Nik on a couple of occasions for dog walking my excitable Sprollie Betty. Betty loves Nik and I think it is a bit of a treat for her to have someone else walk her. I really appreciate that Nik is happy to take Betty on an ad-hoc basis and I haven’t had to commit to a regular walking pattern, as it is only every so often that I need a walker. Knowing that Nik has a secure key safe has meant that I am comfortable leaving her with my door key, so I can call on her should I find myself in a situation where I’m not able to get home to Betty and Bernard.
I would definitely recommend Nik at Ollie’s Petcare. She clearly cares a great deal about the animals she looks after and I am more than happy to entrust her with my precious fur babies and my home!
Thank you Nik!! :-)
