About: We are experienced dog fosters and have hosted many dogs. We have been fortunate to love many dog breeds and hope to provide yours with a fun, loving adventure. I work remote and I am able to be available during the day. Our weekends are also at home so we can provide dogs with lots of attention. We have a fenced yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood near a lake. Our house is one level, making it easy for mobility issues. We have 2 dogs that love to make new friends.

“Michael made sure to check in with us with pictures and let us know how each walk went. He was super sweet with our big pup. We have a pitbull who has a tendency to pull on the leash sometimes and if he can handle that he can probably handle your dog great as well! I could tell he really cared. I'd trust him to help us again if needed in the future!”

Nikki P.

“Nikki is an animal lover. She had a dog that she trained to be a therapy dog. She took that dog into nursing homes. She has owned other dogs as well. Right now, she has a beautiful parrot that she takes to work at an assisted living/nursing home in Burnsville and allows residents to take the bird back to their apartments for a visit.
