Responsible and Caring with animals

Hi, my name is Nicole and I grew up in the twin cities with a Labrador named Nick. I currently live in the twin cities area and I started dog walking and sitting for my neighbors when I was 13 and feel in love with it! I currently a momma to a Golden Doodle, Border Collie, and Australian Shepard along with a 2.5 year old. I have great relationships with dogs and have a calming effect around them. I enjoy any type of dog weather it is large or small. My favorite thing to do with dogs is go on walks and enjoy the outdoors. I love to meet new dogs and would love to have the opportunity to treat your dog with love and respect like they deserve! My work hours are 7am-3:30pm, Monday-Friday. I will take your pup for a long walk (depending on size of pup) before and after work. If you would prefer, I can also let out your pup during lunch hours. Please reach out if you have any further questions. :)

I highly recommend Nicole as a Rover friend for your pet. Nicole is such a kind person. Our dog just loves her. She is an older dog, and Nicole knows just how to coax her along to get a nice walk in. Nicole also sends sweet notes and pictures.

Nicole was great from the pre-booking process all the way through the booking! She listened to my requests on how to best take care of my dog - including to take his lead on thing - and I appreciate that very much. I will definitely be using her in the future!

I love all types of dogs and am open to all breads of dogs. What does your dog like to do in his or her free time? Does he/she like to play fetch, go on walks, lay and cuddle on the couch, etc.? Is there anything that makes your dog nervous or scared such as other dogs, squirrels, loud cars, etc?
