Hi, my name is Niki Bennett.

I am otherwise known locally around Wilmslow as a local Fitness (Zumba) Instructor. I am fortunate enough to work part time. My other passion is my Miniature Dachshund Abi! She is absolutely adorable and feisty with an obsession for food, balls and stones. She has been attending daycare now since she was 8 weeks old and she honestly thinks she owns the place!

Henry's Beach 🌴

Since the very sad loss of my horse 'Henry' of 18 years, we have made his sand paddock into a Beach which is lovingly named after him. Henry was part of the daycare centre as the business was built around him, we all miss him so much. He loved being with the dogs and I am convinced they miss him too.
We even have a palm tree!
The 'beach' is an additional area for the doggies to play, chill and they absolutely love digging in there as well.

Now, a bit about my doggie! 🐾

Abi is my Miniature Dachshund who is totally ball obsessed and will play ball for literally the whole day. She loves the paddle pool especially in the summer where she dives into the water to retrieve her ball or stone which she has purposely dropped in the water. She too has medical needs as she has been diagnosed as having epilepsy. She is on a strict timescale for her medication and is doing amazing.

A little more about me 🙂

As my working hours are flexible and I have the knowledge and understanding of how important our pets are in our lives, my aim is simple. To help look after your pets in the manner they are accustomed to. I understand how our animals mean the world to us, and appreciate that is it is not always possible with work commitments to give them the love and attention you would want to during working hours.
