Nola and Friends Dog Care

Who are we?

Nola & Friends are a family run service, catering to small and medium dogs. Kiffy has worked and lived with animals since she was a child. Growing up with an Animal Rescue Centre at their family home in Nottingham and volunteering abroad in Qatar at Paws Rescue, meaning there hasn’t been a moment without animals in her life.

Kiffy has multiple qualifications in animal studies, including, First Aid, Animal Welfare and Animal Behaviour. This has increased her knowledge and passion for all animals, in particular… our 4 legged furry friends.

Kiffy and Michael have 2 dogs of their own, Nola and Shelby, both are rescue dogs and are very much the heart and soul of Nola & Friends.

Nola & Friends pride themselves on a home from home experience for all dogs that come into their home, meaning kennels are not used. Dogs are important family members, we wouldn’t want anyone going without cuddles and companionship.

Whatever treats your dogs enjoy at home, they can enjoy at ours.
