Home from Home, Wolfdogs Welcome

I am missing my partner in crime. We just recently lost our boy, Kavik, only 8 days before his 15th birthday. He was a Northern Inuit, Czechoslovakian Wolfdog cross, he was entire and fed a raw diet. Over the years he has caused me to cry and laugh a lot, with some very challenging behaviour, but with consistent training he turned into a true gent. I only left him for 16 nights in his life, he came on holiday with us all over the UK and skiing in France 4 times. Knowing how difficult it can be to find someone willing to look after a challenging dog, I thought I would offer my experience and services, but also very happy to look after a laid back pooch/pet too. I have always had pets and looked after my friends & families dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, reptiles for many years. I am happy to look after any pet, any age and will give a bespoke service for what your pet needs.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 22, 2024

Nicola was very calm and understanding about my nervous dog. She took time to allow my dog to warm up to her. She let me visit her the day before so my dog could know the place before I left her there. My dog was calm and happy when I arrived to pick her up.

Gracie had a fantastic day with Nikki and I’ve already booked her back in ! She’s very experienced and clearly loves dogs, I have no hesitation recommending her for any of your Doggie care needs 😊😊

Nicola was absolutely brilliant with my Dorris! Not only was it a last minute booking(my own fault for not checking dogs are allowed where we were going) but I’ve never left my pup with anyone before, and she made it an amazing experience. Dorris very much enjoyed her time there and my family was totally at ease knowing she was in safe hands, was given some amazing tips and tricks to get her to stop pulling and picture updates throughout the day.overall a brilliant experience from such a nerve wracking situation 😊

We are so grateful that we have found Nicky! We have struggled to find dog walkers for our reactive, adolescent GSD, but Nicky has been a godsend. She is so experienced and knowledgeable, and Bentley warmed to her very quickly. She is confident to manage his reactive outbursts and has even given us little tips to support us with his training. We know that Bentley is in very safe hands with her!
