He drove off in a silver Nissan Navara truck with the registration number YE71 DFA with his brown and white dog beside him.
Nothing has been seen or heard of the father-of-four since and police said that his sudden disappearance is out of character.
Dorset police are appealing for Mr Fisher to get in touch or for anyone who has seen him come forward immediately.
Inspector David Parr, of Dorset Police, said: ‘Nick left the area unexpectedly and has not been in contact with family or friends, which is out of character.
‘I would urge anyone who has seen Nick, or a man matching the description given, to please contact Dorset Police.
