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.

I would definitely recommend Nicola, she provided a lovely holiday for my dog Bessie who is blind and requires particular care. Bessie looked very content & happy in the photos and videos Nicola sent me throughout the stay. I feel very confident leaving her there in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 12, 2026

Nicola has been fantastic with Mac. She genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and even helped improve his lead walking. There was another dog there during each day, and she made sure they played together nicely and safely. He always came home happy, absolutely worn out, and excited to go back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a caring and reliable doggy day care.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 11, 2026

Needed a dog sitter for a few hours whilst on holiday. Nicola was very accommodating and was happy to do the times Needed, even when I asked to extend it at short notice. Little Pepsi seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked her up so was obviously well looked after. Would definitely recommend Nicola and would have no hesitation in using her again.

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.
