They have a shuttle service from Horseshoe Bay from Vancouver pets coming to Nopawblems Care, so book early always! The best is worth it. Reasonably priced, excellent staff, good food or bring your own. I have trusted her with several daycare 11-4 p.m. Just to see her getting used to the other dogs, kennel and owners. She's highly sensitive husky mix. It took a few visits. We got to a weekend, a week and one ten day stay. When the last thing you want to worry about on vacation, on a tight budget, is your dogs well-being ... I trust Nopawblems. She's is a little highly stimulated each time. She prefers home. But she's not upset or frightened. I am secure with my choice. If anything comes up she is in the best hands.

I have taken my dogs here for 9 years. to this exceptional kennel. It is a large and beautifully…read moremaintained facility in a rural setting. My pets have always received the best care possible. I took one of my young dogs to a session with Joyce for help with his aggressive behaviour. I had sought help previously from a series of recommended trainers and vets. In one session,Joyce provided me more help than all the others combined. One of my very old ( 16+) dogs refused to eat one day. Realizing that this was not normal for him, and knowing his age, and after trying unsuccessfully to reach me, they took him into their home and sat with him. He passed away peacefully in a few hours, in the company of loving humans. After speaking to me, they took him to a local vet and had him cremated and gave me the ashes. It was a hard sad time, and I cannot imagine a better way to end a long life. This is absolutely the best place for a dog to be. The only drawback is that they are so good- and it is not easy to get a space.

We use this kennel regularly when we have to leave town. My sweet, 5 year old Golden Retriever has…read morealways been happy to go to this kennel. He is well cared for and looks healthy and calm at pick up. I know you're thinking--Golden--that guy is always going to be happy. And yes it is true that he's pretty easy-going. Still...he always asks NOT to go in when going someplace he does not like. For example, when arriving at his groomers (he is a bit of a wimp and hates getting his tail brushed) he tells me "no mom, please, I don't want you to leave me with this lady with the comb!" But he is always happy to go and see the girls at Del Norte. I can only conclude that he likes it there. He would tell me if he didn't. Now he is pretty demanding. He wants regular walks and to be played with too. So he must be getting his needs met there. His bedding is always clean and since we label all his items, we get them all back. I have used this kennel many times over the years and have always been happy with them.

oh my goodness. Where do I start? Morgan is 14 1/2 and had never been left in a kennel before. We…read morehad to leave her in order to be with our family over Christmas. She went for a "date" one day and seemed quite happy. When we left her, we werent sure how she would do. The care and attention she received were top notch and beyond. She is on regular medication. I took my "drug store", her food, bed, blanket and one toy. Our friend picked her up the day we flew home. She was perfect. So happy and healthy. We would leave her here again in a heart beat. No questions asked. We highly recommend this kennel and will spread the news to all our known pet owners. Thank you so much for all of your attention and care of Morgan. Words cannot express our thankfulness and gratitude. Bless all of you, Richard and Vicky Savage

They were fed as per my instructions, but one somewhat negative comment I would add is that my dog was not walked enough to my satisfaction. She was walked, of course, but not enough and this may have been because my dog did not know her and was reluctant to walk with her. However, in general I was happy with Linda's house/pet sitting and if the situation arose I would definitely engage her again.
