Welcome to Guardian Angel’s 

Nicole Travis

Hello! My name is Nicole, I am the soul owner and founder of Guardian Angel’s Grooming Training Boarding Daycare and luxury spa. I always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. With years of animal care experience and training I made the leap to open my very own state of the art luxury animal care facility. I founded the business five years ago in my basement. As a single mother I had to build a company I knew I could rely on. To date I have expanded to a nine thousand foot luxury facility and have personally designed an animal care team that specializes in your pets care and safety.

A little about me, I am alive today because of a dog named Bear, who saved my life as a young girl and I have given my life to animals ever since. I have been a special member of our community since I was nine years old. I started out with my very first NON-PROFIT organization for animals, K-9 Guardian Angel. I raised money to purchase bullet proof and swat protection vests for our police, fish and game, and tribal law enforcement K-9s. Each vest was between 700 and 1,800 dollars. I held dog shows, bake sales and car washes to raise the money and our community was more then generous in supporting this foundation through donations and pure determination to see the little girl from North Idaho succeed in her dreams of helping protect police dogs statewide!

 To help me protect our courageous K9s they put me on the news and in the newspaper to spread the word, and it spread like wildfire! I could not have done it without the community and my family! I then went on to build at Cat rescue shelter and began another NON-PROFIT organization for cats, Simba's Pride Cat Rescue. I cared for over 150 cats whom I nursed back to health, spayed and neutered, housed, fed and cared for everyday. Cats were sent to me when the shelters were too full to take them in, cats were seized from hoarding situations, and simply rescued when they were in danger or homeless. It truly became my whole world caring for these animals. I put my heart and soul into their care and needs. I held adoption shows and bake sales to raise money to care for the cats. But I also donated my every penny and all of my time to their futures. I do not just love these animals, I live for them!
I grew up showing dogs and have lived with animals my whole life. I then went on to become a Veterinary Technician. I am also an experienced groomer, k9 handler, professional dog handler in AKC and animal care specialist. I started grooming when I was ten years old. I now have 21 years of pet and show grooming experience. I specialize in quality care of animals. I truly enjoy what I do and I hope to continue to grow in every aspect of animal care. 

What you may not know is, I named this business after my first non-profit to help assure trust with the public who knew me so well and it was not unnoticed! The outpoor of customers who remembered me as that little passionate young girl grew more clientele in my first year of business then most businesses had built over ten! 

My goal has been my life long dream to build a state of the art no kill animal shelter and sanctuary where I can personally save as many lives as possible. I would like to offer training programs so every dog can have a chance at finding a forever home. But for the pets who cannot be placed in forever homes, I would like to offer them a sanctuary to live out their lives peacefully with love and care. As of right now I own the areas largest luxury spa for animals at nine thousand square feet including a Barkery, a luxury Spa offering massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic therapy for animals, Boarding and Training, as well as Grooming and Daycare with round the clock care for your pets and full security for their safety!
