I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

Information Nicole N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have specific routines for feeding or needs for your pets and any behaviors that they use to be mindful of. If they are reactive to neighborhood pets, that would be very helpful to know.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs if they have high energy or give belly rubs if thats what they love! I make sure I am mindful of their body language and don't overdo it if they are becoming stressed. I have a dog with a very high energy level (Belgian Malinois) and anxiety and am very good at figuring out what they might need or want.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive.

I would recommend Nicole 1000x over! Any time she watches my cats she is thorough in understanding what they need, reliable, and communicative from start to finish! She sends me pictures with every visit which helps me know they are in great hands. She’ll love your fur babies as her own!
