Pet care experience
I'm Nicole, a veterinary technician with over 10 years of experience working with dogs and cats. I believe firmly that your pet deserves to feel right at home, even when you can't be home with them. So whether that's in my home for boarding or daycare, or in your home for "drop-in" visits, I strive to give every customer the feeling of love, safety, and security they'd be missing in your absence. Because of my veterinary background, I am skilled in providing treatments for sick or aging at home, including home testing and insulin administration for diabetics, subcutaneous fluid administration for pets with kidney disease, and oral medications for any other conditions your pets may be facing. I currently work at home in telehealth support for pet parents, so I’m home nearly 24/7 except for quick errands! I now also have a roommate, my cousin Kimberly, who is a certified dog trainer! Two dog loving professionals in the same house for the price of one! Boarding and day care for dogs at my home will provide your pup with a spacious single-story home, fully fenced 1/3 acre yard and two small resident dogs as playmates. (My home also includes three resident cats, but if your dog is reactive to cats, they can be easily separated while still providing enough space for everyone to be happy.) Pick up and drop off service can be included for free within 5 miles of my home, or for a very minimal fee for longer trips. My "drop-in" visits average about 30 minutes in duration to provide whatever care you request, including all the little things that you might want done, like taking out trash on garbage day, bringing in mail, and changing lights to make it appear that you're home. You don't need to be worried about leaving your pets when you're going on vacation or heading off to a long day at work! Your pets are safe in my care, and if you need reassurance to that fact, I'll gladly put you in touch with some of my regular customers. I've been petsitting for cats and dogs on the Main Line or Delco for 7 years. I'm excited to meet your pets and give them the TLC they deserve when you're away!
Reviews
Nicole was awesome! She was very professional with every step of the process and kept us up to date on how our pup was doing. Due to her love for animals, we were never worried while we were away. Captain has found his new friends and we know he can’t wait for us to take another trip so he can go back.
Nicole was the best!! Awesome communication and sent us a ton of photos of our pup which let us know he was in good hands. Very accommodating and friendly. If she weren't out of town for us we'd absolutely be back. :) Thank you!
My two dogs have stayed with Nicole two times and they love it there. They have fun playing in the yard with Nicole' dogs. Nicole is great too. She sends me a picture every day and takes great care of my dogs. I feel like they're safe with her and I don't worry about them at all while I'm away.
I went away on vacation relaxed and confident my kitties would be taken excellent care of and they were! Nicole is knowledgeable and caring and even administered my cats sub q fluids, inhaler, and pills. She is the best pet care provider!! I will not hesitate to have her care for my fur babies the next time I go away.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, but because I have cats and small dogs myself, I prefer boarding and daycare for breeds under 60 pounds. That said, older, larger, cat-friendly, calm dogs are also welcome.
A typical day
Trips to Haverford Reserve Dog Park and/or walks around your/my neighborhood, Haverford Reserve, Valley Forge, or other local parks, lots of fetch time in my back yard, and free access to the toy basket inside where your pet can pick any number of goodies to play with!
