📣Big changes coming May 1st!
🎉 Starting May 1st, Muddy Paws will be available FULL TIME for dog grooming, all breeds and sizes! 🎉
Since I am starting full time and there are so many new faces here, I thought I would share a bit about myself!
My name is Nicole, and my love for dogs started at a young age! My family always had a dog growing up, and at 13, my sister and I started a sled dog kennel. We trained and raced sled dogs for several years, gaining lots of dog experience and knowledge from other dog trainers and mushers.
At 16 I started working at Dogs Paw in Park Rapids, MN, working in their boarding kennel. During my senior year of high school, I transitioned to working under a dog groomer there. I now have been grooming for about 6 years!
I met my now husband in high school and we got married in 2021, moved to the Blue Earth area, and later bought a home near Delavan. I opened Muddy Paws out of our home in 2024, only grooming very part time as I still worked full time elsewhere. I quickly gained dog grooming clients so I started taking days off of work to groom at home.
I now am taking the leap to groom full time out of our home! I am very excited for this new chapter and the opportunity to work with you and your pups!
Please reach out if you any questions or if you would like to schedule your pup for a groom!
