Nugget and Friends Dog Walking & Pet Services

We got lucky when we were introduced to Heather, Dave & Nugget! When our plans fell through for boarding, my daughter in law suggested we call Heather. Even though she was on maternity leave and not taking dogs at the time - she took ours! Rosie was only 10 months so it was difficult to find someone who would take a puppy and someone we could trust with our young pup. I had a great feeling about them right off the bat and Rosie had the best time! Nugget put up with her and they are great friends now. Rosie looks forward to her weekly hike with the group. I recommend them highly.(Rosie in Nugget in front)

I wish there were more stars to add here. I couldn't recommend Heather more. My dog Beanie is totally in love with her and literally waits at the door in excitement when she sees Heather walking down our driveway. At first I was nervous to let my new pup leave my sight but couldn't feel more comfortable leaving her Nugget and Friends.

Our pup, Winnie hikes weekly and boards (when we travel) with Nugget & Friends! She loves her hikes, and adores Heather and Dave! She’s always excited to be dropped off! :-) They are fabulous with her and the other dogs, incredibly professional — and share lots of communications. We have complete confidence and peace of mind when she’s in their care.

Nugget and Friends has been an awesome experience! Our 1 year old bernedoodle loves her walks and Heather is so good with her. We found Heather to be incredibly reliable and professional.

Heather is so great! My dog has stayed for several overnight trips and I’ve always felt comfortable and trusting that she was 1) safe, and 2) having a good time. Heather’s location is perfect for beach runs and she limits the number of dogs she cares for so everyone gets lots of attention. I really appreciate the text and photo updates that Heather sends throughout my dog’s stay. It’s nice to hear that everyone is settling in okay and to see photos of the puppy crew having fun outside together. I also trust that Heather is being consistent with training and behaviour expectations for my pup. Highly recommend Heather to others looking for a safe, friendly, and fun boarding experience for their dogs.

Heather is so great with our crazy big puppy!! So calm and happy with him. He has learned to behave so much better out hiking as well! We feel so lucky to trust such a wonderful dog walker/trainer! Finn is thrilled every time!

Our lab has been having a great time going on adventure hikes with Heather and the gang for the past month. Heather is so good with her and treats her like she was her own pup, and makes sure she keeps up with her manners <3

Nugget and Friends Dog Walking is great. Our dog Charlie is so excited to see Heather/Dave and can't wait to jump into their vehicle. We feel so comfortable sending Charlie off for adventures with them as we know he's well cared for and is having a great time.

We have never found a better service for our family. Whenever we are in Victoria we send our girl out for hikes with Heather and her troop. She has a special connection with my (difficult to please) dog. She is typically very shy but definitely not with Nugget and friends. Luna has also stayed overnight with Heather and her family. Her communication is impeccable and I love all of the photos that they post on social media. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Luna and I would recommend her to everyone. We may just have to move to Victoria so Luna can become a regular pack member.
