Hi I’m Leanne,

I’m the Owner of Doggy Daycare Nelson Ltd. Along with the rest of the team, Steph the 2IC, Lorraine who does Monday afternoons and Tuesdays, Ann who is our fantastic Happy Yappy Puppy Van driver and supervisor on Wednesday, Billy who does supervision on Wednesday mornings and the lawn and garden care, we also have Paige who does the Friday shift and Carole who is starting on the second Happy Yappy Puppy Run.

I love my job, it’s a dream that I’ve had for a long time. All my life I have been in love with dogs and just about all other animals, my brother always had great fun in teasing me about walking any animal I could get a lead on.

I’m a qualified Vet Nurse of 8 years experience. I did both the Animal Care and the Certificate in Veterinary Nursing through our Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology in 2004. I then went onto work for Richmond Veterinary Clinic until 2010 doing everything from cleaning cages to cleaning pet’s teeth!

I became involved in the Nelson ARK during my time at Richmond Vet Clinic, when they desperately needed foster families. Through my time with them my family took on 18 dogs from 13 courses. We went on to adopt Louie who you will all meet, he’s the one who will try and steal your glasses.

I’m really looking forward to meeting all the dogs that come to Doggy Daycare Nelson and getting to know their different personalities and to see them go home happy at the end of the day. My main focus is in making sure that the dogs are stimulated and entertained while they are with us, we want your dog to be in a home away from home (if not better!)

We always strive to make sure that all our Fur Kids are happy, safe and in the best health they can be please ask us if you have any queries that we may be able to help you with. Our aim to make Daycare the place to be for the most loved canines in the Nelson Area.
