Michael started working at Nirvana when searching for his next career path. He knew it included dogs and found his way home to Nirvana. His passion for dogs in infectious which is why he was chosen as the successor of Nirvana Pet Resort.
When he's not in the shop you will find Mike spending time with his wife and their dogs, enjoying a concert, or exploring the hidden camping gems BC has to offer.

Savannah
Groomer Extraordinaire
My passion from a young age has been spending time with dogs and other animals; I adore nothing more! I love working with dogs (and cats), and still can't believe that this is my job. Working with dogs is always an adventure, and I find that I'm constantly learning something new every day from our furry friends.
I couldn't be happier to be part of the Nirvana Pet Resort team!
Keifer
Daycare Attendant
Keifer has joined our team after meeting most of our team at a pet first-aid class. He has a passion for animals and knows he wants to work with them going forward. He currently owns a cat (Bruce Wayne) and has always had animals in his life. He enjoys spending time with each animal who comes through our doors and wins each of them over easily..
