Nicolle Pet Sitting · Philadelphia

One dog at a time. Your dog is my only guest.

I'm Nicolle, a solo pet sitter in Philadelphia. When your dog boards with me, there is no rotation of strangers' pets and no kennel run - just your dog, living in my home like family, with my full attention from drop-off to pick-up. I work from home, so your dog is with me all day - never left alone for long stretches.

Where your dog stays

Boarding happens in my own home in Philadelphia - a bright, calm apartment where your dog gets the run of the place. Your dog sleeps in the home - bed and couch always allowed! And because I work from home, I'm here all day: no long hours alone in a strange place, which makes all the difference for pups with anxiety. The bed is shared, the couch is shared, and the kitchen is where the treats live.

House sitting, the way it should be

Some dogs are happiest in their own home - and multi-pet households shouldn't have to split up. When I house sit, I care for every dog and cat in the house, keeping their walks and routine just as you left them.

Siblings stay together, shy pets stay in their safe place, and you get photo and video updates every day of the stay.

Nicolle, care and pictures of my dog Spot made my stay away from him enjoyable. First time we were separated a long period of time.

Nicolle is responsible and was great at communicating up til and during Goji's stay. Our dog has some anxiety and yet he seemed to settle in at Nicolle's place very quickly. Will definitely book with Nicolle again!

Nicolle was fantastic! She was great with my shy dog, wonderful with my sweet cat, and she even shoveled a path for me to get to my front door when it snowed!

Hi, I'm Nicolle

I'm Nicolle - a solo pet sitter in Philadelphia. With me, your pet is never one of many: at my home there is only ever one guest, and at yours, your pets have me all to themselves.

I keep my boarding to one dog at a time on purpose. Your dog never has to compete for attention, a spot on the couch, or a calm night's sleep - and you never have to wonder how they're doing, because the photos and videos land on your phone every day.

I also work from home, so your dog has company all day long - not just mornings and evenings. For pups with anxiety, that constant presence is everything: someone right there for comfort, play, and reassurance whenever they need it.

And I have reliable transportation - my own car - so pick-ups, drop-offs and any vet trip are covered, with no waiting on rides or rentals.

Whether your dog stays with me or I stay with them, they get one person, fully devoted, for the whole stay. That's the whole idea.

Where I'm based

I'm based in West Philadelphia, in the Wynnefield area - boarding pick-ups and drop-offs happen here, at my home. The shaded circle shows my general area, roughly 10 miles around home - not an exact address. The list below is everywhere I serve: house sitting at your home, and boarding at mine for dogs from all of them.
