Will love your pet as our own!

Pet care experience

Hello! We are a pet-loving family in Northeast Minneapolis who miss having a dog around the house and would love to fill that void by helping you out in your time of need! We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our beloved golden retriever last year and while we'd love to add a dog to the house again, with a 3 and 2 year old our home life can be a handful and it just isn't the right time for the full commitment of dog ownership. That's why we'd love to open our hearts and home to your pet! If you're visiting my profile for cat boarding, it is very much a cat-loving house - we have 2 cats in our home.

Dave was fantastic with my dog. She's getting older and has a list of health issues due to her age. Dave cared for her and took the issues in stride. I received messages and pictures while she was with him which made me feel at ease every day I was gone. If you want your fur baby to stay with someone who will treat them like a member of their family. Dave is the guy.

Dave sent me a picture each day via text - along with a mini update - of how my dog was doing. I know that my dog received plenty of attention with 2 adults and 2 little girls. It was a huge relief knowing that my little boy was in good hands while I was traveling.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a decent-sized yard but not fenced in. Our neighborhood is very sidewalk friendly and bustling with other dog owners. Your dog will always be leashed when out of the house. We have two cats in our home who are very sweet and got along splendidly with our dog and don't foresee any issues. But, we have no problem in creating separate quarters if needed during your pet's stay! One cat has tended to make herself scarce during our guests' visits, while the other watches curiously and without incident. As for cat boarding - the same as above applies, we can always create separate areas for litter/feeding for your cat and the resident cats if there are any issues.

Non-smoking household
Has 2 cats
Children 0-5 years old

Information Dave S. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if your dog has been around small children and how they have interacted with them, given that we have two toddlers in the house. A visit to our home prior to your dog's stay is required.

A typical day

Your pet will be my buddy during the day while I work from home, nice cool basement with lots of toys and couch and blankets to lay on. Our neighborhood is completely lined with sidewalks and always busy with other dogs - lots of smells to investigate! And for cats, we have plenty of cat toys, cat nip, scratching posts, etc. to keep your pet stimulated. Lots of birds in the trees and feeders outside the windows, too!

I work full-time remote from home. Daytime schedules are flexible for potty breaks, walks, and stimulation. Always available in the evenings to get some energy out before bedtime. As you can see in the photos, our daughters have inherited the pet-loving genes from their parents - your pet will never be without attention!
