Boarding a dog is stressful for everyone — the dog, the family, and often Nicolette ends up on the receiving end of a stressed-out pup the day they come home. In-home dog sitting keeps your dog where they're calm: their own house.

Whether you live near the Durham Park area, off Durham-Dayton Highway, or out toward the orchards, Nicolette brings the same calm, certified veterinary care to your home.
