Pet care experience

Nics doggy day care and hotel

We can provide a loving home for your dog to stay. We have a house with a good sized garden which is enclosed. We have beautiful surroundings for lots of nice walks. Our 3 children love animals and will provide lots of cuddles and attention and are very gentle. We can provide day care or boarding (as long as the dog is fine with cats as we have 2 cats) and also walking if you are in the local area. We can also provide drop in visits for varying different animals. We have loads of experience and have had happy doggy customers of all different ages, sizes and breeds and can provide references upon request. We will endeavour to make your dog feel at home and we will provide lots of love and attention.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 27, 2026

Merlin couldn’t wait to get in the front door! Nicola and her daughter were so excited to see him too. It was lovely 🥰

I was really quite anxious as it was our first time leaving Merlin with anyone, other than family, BUT we could not have chosen any better for our boy! He was so well looked after and from our first meeting was treated like part of the family. Nicola and her family even held a little birthday celebration for him, for which we were incredibly grateful and the regular updates were very reassuring. We will most definitely be returning :)

Lulu had a lovely sleepover at Nicola's. It gave real peace of mind to know that she would be looked after in a family environment. I can highly recommend Nicola's care for your dog too.
