Hi, I’m Nicolina! I grew up on a farm in Sweden, where I was always around animals like dogs, horses, bunnies, cats, and hens. I’ve owned two dogs in my life and I’m actually planning to adopt a new pup of my own in the future. I’ve been living in Australia for eight years now and work as a disability and aged care support worker. I care deeply about both people and animals, and I bring that same patience and responsibility to every dog I walk. I genuinely just love being around dogs and would love some company on my daily walks! Animals and wildlife are a big part of my life. I’m a wildlife photographer as a hobby, which has taught me to be very patient and to really watch an animal's behavior. I also used to work as a pet studio photographer, which was so much fun! It gave me great experience in how to interact with different dog personalities - from the shy and nervous to the very energetic. Even though I work in care now, that background helps me stay very attentive to a dog’s body language and how they are feeling at all times. I offer 30-minute or 60-minute walks, depending on what your dog needs. I love walking down by the harbor or to the dog beach in Cleveland, but I am happy to stick to your dog's familiar neighborhood route. I am very comfortable handling different temperaments; for shy dogs, I take things slow to build trust, and for high-energy dogs, I maintain a brisk, engaging pace. Safety is my priority, so I always keep a firm grip on the lead and stay alert to our surroundings. I am an active person who walks every single day, and I want to be a reliable walker so you don’t have to worry while you’re at work. I believe in good communication and will always let you know how our walk went. For everyone's safety, I only walk pets that are up to date with their vaccinations. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
