Niki loves animals and it shows! I've boarded my twelve year old Brittany Spaniel, Daphne, with…read moreNiki's Play n' Stay a few times for ten days each. Daphne had a restful fun time on both occasions. Daphne is getting older and it's wonderful to have a place for my dog, Daphne, to stay when I'm on holiday. I know she's in great hands. Furthermore, Niki is an expert groomer! I adopted an insanely cool Chinchilla Persian cat, Puffcat, from Niki's Play n' Stay just after winter break. Chinchilla Persians are lovely! The breed requires very careful grooming every 4-8 weeks--including bathing, shaving, and drying with a special high velocity cat hairdryer. Therefore, I just had my Chinchilla Persian, Puffcat, over at Niki's for grooming and he came back looking picture perfect. After his grooming, he's sooooo puffy, smells amazing, and he has been expertly shaved & trimmed. Thank you Niki! Highly recommend!!

Her mobile setup is spotless, convenient, and completely stress-free for my kitties. Niki is amazing every single time. She's always on time, communicates clearly before and after each visit, and her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the excellent high quality and convenience she provides. One of my cats is... let's just say strong-willed. Her fur had gotten badly matted, and she wouldn't let anyone near her with a brush. I honestly didn't think she'd cooperate, but Niki worked her magic and somehow turned my spicy little fluff into her normal, gorgeous self. She's patient, gentle, and knows exactly how to handle cats with all different personalities. My girls always come back looking runway ready -- like they're about to strut down the catwalk. If you have cats or dogs and want someone who's talented, trustworthy, and genuinely cares, Niki is the one. A true trustworthy gem!

Countryside Canine and Olivia have truly been life-changing for us. We sent our female Belgian…read moreMalinois, Athena, to Olivia's 5-week program, and it was an absolute game changer. A little backstory--Athena was a COVID puppy, so she didn't get the proper early socialization she needed, especially with other dogs. On top of that, being a Belgian Malinois, she has very unique needs. Her prey drive is incredibly high, and so was her anxiety. Walks used to be stressful--she would react to every noise, person, or animal. Even getting her into the car felt like wrestling a bear. After training with Olivia, it honestly felt like we got a whole new dog back. Athena still has some anxiety and that natural Malinois prey drive, but now I have the tools and confidence to manage both effectively. We now go on daily walks--often twice a day. I've taken her to large parks and on short hikes, and she's been amazing. I'm even planning to take her on a multi-day camping and hiking trip--something I never would have imagined before her training. The biggest difference is that Olivia didn't just train my dog--she trained me too. She gave me the knowledge and tools to continue working with Athena at home, and Athena has taken to it like a fish to water. It's such a great feeling to have a smart, engaged, and obedient dog to enjoy life with. I can't thank Olivia enough for everything she's done. I highly recommend Olivia and Countryside Canine!

I sent my 10-month-old Australian Shepherd to board and train with Olivia and, in the best way…read morepossible, he came back a different dog: the same sweet personality, but with dramatically better self-control. I enrolled him for three weeks and ended up adding a fourth. His biggest challenges were reactivity, anxiety, recall, and staying engaged with me around distractions. Before training, he would bark and lunge at strangers, bolt through open doors, and ignore commands the moment something more interesting appeared. Now he's calm on and off leash, reliably holds commands until released, and consistently checks back in with me instead of running off. What impressed me most wasn't just the behavior change, it was the foundation Olivia built. Nix now understands how to look to me for guidance when he's distracted, stressed, or uncertain. The results have been more durable and meaningful than anything I achieved through months of research, classes, private lessons, and thousands of dollars spent on training. I was initially skeptical of board and trains, and balanced training methods, particularly e-collars and slip leads, because of so many traumatic videos out there. Olivia completely changed my perspective. She uses these tools thoughtfully, gently, and effectively--not to intimidate or hurt dogs, but to communicate clearly despite distractions. Nix isn't fearful or shut down; if anything, he's more confident, more relaxed, and more connected to me than ever before. Of all the money I've spent on training, Olivia's board-and-train was by far the best investment I've made in my dog. The transformation has been remarkable, and our relationship is stronger because of it.

My dog needed her shots and I called for an appt. My vet, Dr. Louppe (great guy) could not see her for 5 weeks. I agreed to see the vet "on call", but that appointment took 4 days. I arrived at my appointed time. 40 minutes later they said the vet was finishing up an eye surgery and would get to us soon. I waited another 15 minutes. I went up to ask if she was out of surgery, the receptionist said she had just finished up, but there were three patients ahead of me still waiting. I left and sadly went to a different vet office where they saw me the next day. I loved Dr. Louppe, but what good does it do to have a doctor you care for and who cares for you pet, that you can never get in to see. I know they are a busy clinic, but sometimes you can put too much on your plate to give good service.
