She has been boarding our now 15-month old pup…read moreregularly for the past 9 months and even though I consider myself a seasoned owner, her tips and advice have been invaluable in helping my insecure pup build up his confidence. Nora has also gone above and beyond in caring for our little guy. This month, for example, Nora took him in when I was going away even though he was only in the early stages of getting over an illness. If it was anyone but Nora, I would have cancelled the trip. Well, he had a relapse and she ended up having to nurse him back to health over the course of a week, keeping me informed. It was a relief knowing that Nora was caring for him as she would her own dogs. I highly recommend Nora for boarding and training!
