"Nicky is compassionate and considerate with regards to caring for dogs. She is also, very importantly, sensible and vigilant with a good understanding and experience of appropriate dog to dog behaviour. She is a reliable member of our Puppy Classes and when I have met her out walking, her charges seem happy and relaxed. I would trust her to look after my dog without hesitation."

Louise Thomson RVN MBVNA Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital, (Goddards Veterinary Group)

"Nicky has cared for Hamish on several occasions and I have been consistently impressed by her kindness and understanding of my dog's needs. She has a unique gift of identifying when an animal is nervous or uneasy and has the ability to disarm situations before they become difficult. Walking in an area where there are a large number of dogs, this is important and I have had peace of mind whenever she has taken him out. He always returns happy and clean and, moreover, well exercised. The ecstatic welcome she receives from him whenever she collects him speaks volumes. I recommend her unhesitatingly."

Maggie Burnett - Putney (Hamish)

"Nicky Gillham is a true animal lover in every sense of the word. She has looked after my dogs many times and is loving, kind, caring, and responsible. She understands that dogs need proper walking - not just a circuit around the park once a day for 10 minutes, but a real walk, proper exercise and running about. I would never think twice about leaving my dogs in her care, and I honestly believe that when my dogs are with her they don't miss me at all. She's a second mum to them!"

Victoria Crawley - Wimbledon (Archie & Gus)

"Nicky has been walking my dog Henry for quite some time now and he adores her! You just have to mention her name and he sits by the front door waiting to be picked up; regularly flaking out for the rest of the day after he's had his runaround on Wimbledon Common or Richmond Park. Henry was badly hurt in an attack last year whilst walking with me which left him mentally scarred. Nicky worked patiently with him to gradually bring Henry back to his old self. I truly recommend her service to any dog lover because you will have a happier pet as a result."

Evelyn Roberts - Southfields (Henry)

"Nicky has been helping to walk and look after my dog Billy for the past 8 years and without this support I would not have been able to start and run my own business. She takes the responsibility of dog care very seriously and Billy is a very happy dog as a result. I am pleased Nicky is now turning her passion for dogs into a business so others can benefit. She is professional, caring and energetic - everything anyone could want in someone they entrust with their prize pooch."

Mike Lewis - Earlsfield (Billy)

"We have an extremely lively puppy who loves nothing more than a good romp with other dogs. Nicky considers carefully each dog's temperament and energy, and tries to match dogs well suited to each other for walking together. Her relaxed and consistent manner gave us confidence that she could provide our pet with some much-needed exercise while reinforcing the same training methods we had been using already. Nicky is cheerful, reliable, communicative, and gives us a report after each walk so we know how things went. She seems to develop a genuine rapport with each of her charges, and cares for their well being both on walks and afterwards. Our pet is beside herself with excitement when Nicky comes to pick her up, an always returns tired, safe, and happy. What more can you ask?"

Mr and Mrs E. Brandt - Roehampton (Inca)

"We don't feel jealous when Esme's tail wags deliriously upon Nicky's approach because we know what a happy, confident dog these walks have made her. Frankly, we were a couple of wusses when it came to entrusting our dearly loved, food obsessed, slightly tricky-on-the-lead labrador to a then,relative stranger,but our fears were quickly allayed and the Paws Partnership now has our absolute affection and trust"

Debbie Bates - Wandsworth (Essie)

"Nicky and the Paws Partnership have become my doggy guru! Luckily I met Nicky when our new puppy was really young, I was too scared to let her off the lead and Nicky sorted us out with some essential dog training. We are now working on puppy manners at home and Nicky is also doing some dog walking for us when we get busy. I’m so relieved to have found her and will be using her more and more including as a dog sitter when we go away on holiday!"

Kirsty Baranowski - Southfields (Milly)

"Nicky is a fantastic dog walker. Our dog Luca throws himself at her when she arrives and absolutely adores her and her walks. She always walks him for at least an hour, often longer, and he comes back tired and v happy. We wouldn't consider having anyone else walk him now. Thanks Nicky"

Christie and John Locke - Southfields (Luca)

"Nicky has walked Alfie since he was a little pup and he loves his walks with her. I love the update I get from Nicky after every walk. They sound like they have a lot of fun"

Alison Morris - Wimbledon Village (Alfie)
