New DAYCARE SPOT OPEN
Starting April 1 we will now be accepting 6 dogs for daycare.
With a solid group of daycare dogs for the last month, we have opened up one more daily spot for weekly daycare. Our daycare crew have now all met each other and are familiar with our routine which makes us comfortable to make this increase.
Please Note: Registration for new daycare dogs is still closed. This will open up if we are not regularly seeing spots being booked up.
WELCOME TO THE TEAM
“Hello fellow humans & furry friends! I'm Marlaina!
I'm so happy to be part of this awesome team & have the opportunity to get to know all the cute dogs that are part of the Terra Nova family!
I have almost 10 years experience working with dogs, which includes breeds of all sizes & ages! I've worked with dogs that have separation anxiety, fear aggression, leash reactivity, food/water/toy guarding among other things. In that time, I've also learned basic training through positive reinforcement, calming & body language signals and that experience has proven invaluable!
My love for animals started when I was a child when my family had cats for years before we introduced dogs to the family. Living in a home with dogs & cats was a lot of fun and inspired my need to constantly be around them! I also eventually started pet sitting cats and found a lot of calming behaviours to be quite similar to dog signals which fascinated me a lot! It helped give me a different perspective on animal behaviour. I became a foster fail mum to a beautiful cat, who I miss dearly, and trained her to come when I called her name with the same training used for the dogs! It's a happy memory now, but it makes me appreciate all the love & hard work that all pet parents put in for their furry friend(s)!
I'm happy to provide love, care & understanding to your furry companion when they come to daycare &/or boarding!”

new late fees
As we grow and become busier, correct drop-off and pick-up times for daycare & boarding are very important. Having these correct times means that we are able to be properly staffed and provide other scheduled service on-time.
Moving forward, we will be implementing late fees.
You can edit your booking time on your client portal or by sending us a message on WhatsApp.
Late fees will be assessed as follows:
Drop-off and pickup times will have a 15min grace period.
If we are notified BEFORE your scheduled time that you are running behind, we will not add any late fee should you arrive at your new ETA.
Late fees will be set at $15 for every 15min late after the grace period has ended.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
