Pet care experience

Hi, I am Nikol an IT professional in West Grey. My husband and I love animals and have always had pets since childhood. We have been taking care of animals as adults for over 30 years. We have 1 dog and 2 cats. Our dog is a gentle Malamute, one cat is a friendly Pixibob bread and the other a gentle shy Bombay cat, all very friendly. We love all the breeds and we can take care of them. I work from home so while pets having their unlimited playtime at home or in our large fenced playground I can supervise them. They get 2 walks, 3-4 potty breaks/fresh air, during the day based on their energy and needs. We have a pet clinic close by which is 24/7 in case of any emergency and have a car for in case situations. Also, we are both CPR certified. Your pup will have a pawsome time here in dog's favorite Vacay.

Ruby had a great time! Nikol and Andrew were lovely. Everything went smoothly and I would board here again.

Great experience for us and for Gracie. Despite. Gracie’s hesitancy, this host was caring and supported a smooth transition to the home. At pick up Gracie was thrilled to see us but it was clear she enjoyed her visit.

Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period

Nikol was amazing with my dog Miko. She has a beautiful yard that’s perfect for the doggies to run around and play. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Miko in her care. Her partner Andrew was great too — he started playing with Miko right away, which helped Miko feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Miko with them again. Highly recommend!
