Nikki and Dave

Meet the dream team! Nikki and Dave are the founders and creators of Duval Dogs Daycare and Boarding. They share a passion for animals and wanted to open a daycare to pursue their long-term goal of opening a shelter for our senior dog friends. After dedicating a career to the culinary arts, Dave has transitioned into animal care to help achieve his lifelong goal. With a passion for animals, Dave lives by the rule that dogs are important members of our families. He is ready to dedicate his time to creating a safe and fun environment for your fur-friends.

Nikki has many years of experience as a veterinary technician, during which she spent time as a nutrition consultant for a holistic vet’s office. She then transitioned into animal care after experiencing compassion fatigue during COVID. Nikki is also an active member of the Murray Hill community. She is now a proud owner, creator, and operator of Duval Dogs Daycare and Boarding.
