Short (to the point) version: **My husband & I live in Moorhead, MN. I work full time from the home. **I have experience with all dog types & some experience with puppy training. Although I have only been using Rover for about 9 years, I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. **I am currently on maternity leave and can only handle drop-in visits. **We have a black lab named Cade. He is almost 4. He is rambunctious and would love a friend! But if your dog is not comfortable with a large breed around, he does have his own "area" gates in the house to keep him seperate. **I do not require we do a meet & greet, but I do encourage it as it helps to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. If you have an emergency and have a way for me to get to your pup (usually a lock box scenario), I’m happy to try to accommodate without a pre-meet. **You will receive updates about my visit/stay with your pup. I send pictures/videos/texts to ensure you are kept up to date:) Long-winded (get to know me) version: I love caring for pets; especially dogs! I was raised with Huskies and Basset Hounds & have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I volunteered for years as a dog walker for Homeward Bound Rescue. Because I care for all pets as if they are my own, my friends and clients feel comfortable knowing their little family members are in good hands. I'm an active person and love going for walks and runs. I love going for walks & hiking, but also enjoy a relaxing day at home cuddled up with a little friend. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to take care of your dog! I understand how stressful it can be leaving your family member with a stranger, but I assure you I'll care for your dog or puppy in the most loving and reliable way possible. I'm happy to check in with pictures and updates during care visits if you'd like as well. Lastly, no one will have access to any entry details, keys, lockbox codes you may share with me. I hold your safety in the highest regard.
