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. :)

This was our first time using Rover for dog walks while out of town, and Nicole was so great! She was timely, communicated well, and walked out two dogs without any issues! 10/10, will forsure use Nicole and Rover again!

Nicole is REALLY the BEST. When I come home, I actually think there's a brief moment when my pups are sad it's no Nicole. 😀 What more could we ask for when it comes to our fur babies???

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?
