The purr-fect home away from home!
Pet care experience
I’ve had pets since I was little (all kinds, not just dogs) so I’m pretty well adapted to taking care of animals. I’ve had to care for an ESA in my apartment before with no problems. I also dog sat for a 10 week old puppy, who unfortunately wasnt house trained yet (but that’s what hard wood floors are for!). I’m always looking for ways to have fun with the pups and entertain them. I love taking them to parks and exploring outside of the apartment. I’m very flexible in terms of availability since I’m in graduate school currently . If you require any special services for your dogs, don’t hesitate to ask! I’m happy to accommodate any pet with any need!
Reviews
Nicole was phenomenal with my rescue pup and sent a ton of updates. Highly recommend!
Nicole was so great and tended to Zoras needs. She was so caring and let me know if there were any issues and handled everything amazingly!
Nicole did a wonderful job dog sitting for my 11-year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Toby. She was very responsive, flexible, and easy to work with - thanks, Nicole!!
Nicole sent regular updates and was very responsive to Goose’s needs. I know he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely be booking her in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to be home with pets the majority of the day. I most likely will not accept a boarding request if I will be out of the apartment for a long time. I want to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable with me! I live in a 400 sq foot studio apartment - which hasn’t been an issue even for the bigger dogs! The apartment itself is very safe and secure with key fobs needed at multiple access points.
Home
Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet
I’ve boarded special needs, elderly, and less than 1 year old dogs before. I am happy to accommodate any dog with any need. I think it’s important that both the owners and myself keep in touch throughout the visit. I like to provide at least 1 picture and 1 update per day (unless otherwise requested) just so you know your pet is doing fine! If you dog has separation anxiety, barks at people in the hallway, etc, please let me know as I do live in a studio apartment with neighbors in close proximity. It would also be helpful to know your pets’ eating and bathroom schedule. Some pets don’t eat much the first day or two, some whine for a bit, and some need a couple times around the block to finally poop! Every pet is different so it’s absolutely no worries at all - just helpful for me to know how to take the best care of your dogs and adapt to their lifestyle and behaviors.
A typical day
Since I try to be home with your pets most of the day, I take them out approximately every 4 hours. That’s 3-4x a day. I live close by to rittenhouse park which dogs LOVE!! Otherwise the dogs that I board get to enjoy being a city pup for a few days!
