Coco
It was because of Coco that Nicole and Joseph needed
to create their own pet care service, so we owe this all
to him!  Coco was adopted by Nicole in 1997 from North
Shore Animal League.  He is the sweetest boy and can
be seen following Nicole around town, helping exercise
the dogs in the country and always driving shotgun in
MMH's car.  He loves to eat, sleep and chase deer
scents in the country.
                                       Apollo
Joseph first saw Apollo playing at the 72nd Street Dog
Run in 2000.  Apollo was wearing a bright orange vest
with "Adopt Me" written on it.  He was rescued from a
drug lot in Brooklyn where he was left to find his own
food, brave the weather and deal with very mean people.  
The nice lady that rescued him would bring him and some
of the other rescued dogs to the dog run to play and
hopefully get adopted.  Apollo dropped his ball at
Joseph's feet and they have been in love ever since!  
Apollo can be seen visiting the elderly people at various
old age homes where Joseph takes care of the elderly
people's dogs-he especially likes the ladies!  He is very
loyal and is always here to greet the dogs that board with
us, self appointing himself as the protector of all MMH
clients.  He loves to play fetch, collect sticks and eat.
                                      Shadow
Shadow found us in September of 2005 when we were
visiting a horse farm.  She was one of about 50 kittens
living in a dilapidated barn.  She climbed up Nicole's leg
and perched herself on Nicole's shoulder.  She would not
leave and followed Nicole back to her car.  She was sick
when she found us, but thanks to some great veterinary
treatment she is thriving.  She LOVES dogs and can be
found hanging out with MMH boarders on the weekends.  
She loves to run in the field, climb trees and sleep next to
Coco.  She is a great office assistant since she loves to
collect documents coming out of the printer.
                                         Rambler
We rescued Rambler in 2005 from a sad situation.  He was
overworked, skinny and a tired old man.  He had a great
life living in the barn at our country home where he gently
spent his days roaming in his pasture, hanging out with
Apollo and the cats and watching over the property when
we were not around.  He loved to eat and watch the dogs
playing nearby.  He passed away this early November and
he will be missed.
                                     Kitten
Kitten was adopted in 2003 from the Ulster County SPCA.  
We wanted a cat and she fit the bill.  She is sweet and
loves her big brother Apollo.  She loves to sleep in beds
that she no longer fits in, to hide and to eat.

                           Nicole Rector
Owner and operator of Meet Me Here, Nicole can be
found all over the West Side visiting with her doggie
clients and making sure every MMH dog is getting the
best care possible.  When she was unable to find a pet
care provider that offered coverage and care for her
dog, she combined all her ideal pet care options and
started the company.  Nicole studied business at
Binghamton University and New York University and
feels lucky to be able to combine her love for animals
with the business strategy she learned.  
About Us
Meet the owners and their pets!
We are an all inclusive pet care company servicing the Upper West  and East Sides of Manhattan.  
Created in 1997 by Nicole Rector and Joseph Taylor, Meet Me Here thrives on our commitment to NYC
dogs and their owners by offering a high level of professional pet care while ensuring that each dog and
their parent receive the personalized attention they deserve.  We are able to accommodate most every
weekday walking needs, provide scheduled and unanticipated boarding, trips to the vet and drop offs at
the groomer.  Years of caring for many dogs have given us the experience needed to help with training and
feeding issues, first aid and doggie behavior education.  Meet Me Here is a company where the owners
are still involved in the daily walking and boarding of the dogs.  All staff is highly trained, honest and caring
and work alongside the owners to guarantee the best service possible.  Prior to providing service, we
meet with you and your dog to obtain some basic information about your dog, as well as contact
information for you.  We also will discuss any special needs or concerns you may have and create a
schedule that best suits your dog’s needs.  References will gladly be provided at the meeting.  A portion of
all of our profits go towards animal charities that save the lives of dogs and cats in our community.
                                 Joseph Taylor
Co-owner of Meet Me Here, Joseph studied Music at
University of Arizona.  He moved to NYC where he and
Nicole met and learned about the need for great pet
care.  He is always around to help the MMH staff, bring
MMH dogs and their owners to vet appointments, and
organize the boarding arrangements.

                                   Harry Puck
Harry was found stuck in the engine of a lady's car in the
supermarket parking lot.  Nicole pulled him out of the hot
engine, he was 2lbs and slightly burned.  After some
great care from the Vet, he is thriving and playing
happily!  He is very affectionate and loves following us
around wherever we go.
