Availability
I’m currently working as a nurse part time so I have flexibility. I don’t have a set schedule, I usually work 2 days/week, so I’m often home and literally just want to hang out with dogs. ;) Even on days when everyone is at work or school (between my husband and my schedule), pets would only be alone for about six hours. Your pet would have free run of the house if desired and be loved and welcomed like our own dog. I love to walk and would enjoy having a furry friend to keep me company. A walk for a dog is important not only for physical activity, but also mental activity and gives them a chance to sniff and explore their world. I won’t rush your dog along.

About Emily & Brian S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is #1. We have a (small) fenced in yard and a double door to our front entrance for those pets that like to rush to the door. We have plenty of space to accommodate a crate, extra dog beds, whatever would make your pet more comfortable! We can also provide crates depending on size. We are a non smoking home. There are 2 dog obsessed school age kids in the home, (who would only interact with your pet under my close supervision) along with our resident dog. If we needed to take in a pet that did best without other animals, our dog could easily spend some time over at his grandparents house to give your pet needed space.
Home
Information Emily & Brian S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences. For example, if your dog does not like to be picked up or needs to be carried up or down stairs, medication administration details, sleeping arrangement preferences, time in crate, etc. From my years of fostering, I have a lot of experience accommodating various behaviors.
A typical day
We live less than a mile away from Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Creek, there are great walking paths around that area. Mainly the dog would go on leashed walks with me or spend time playing in our fencing yard or at home. I also have two dog loving kids (9&12) that would love to play fetch or whatever silly games your furry friend enjoys. I typically work as a nurse 2 days per week and I like to be active on my days off. I love to throw on a true crime podcast and just get outside and walk. Your pet can be my co-detective as we walk and try to solve the mystery. My dog is getting older is unable to walk super long distances, so most of the time, walking would just be one on one with me and your pet.

Pet care experience
Part time nurse, full time dog mom and human mom! 15+ years of experience fostering dogs for a local rescue taught me how to adjust care for different personalities. Our kids are gentle and will lavish your dog with attention or give space if needed. The focus will be giving your pet love, attention, exercise and making him/her feel safe and part of the family. Basic training will be reinforced but behavior modification or advanced training is not my expertise. In this ever changing world, sometimes I enjoy the company of pets more than humans. Their love and devotion is almost undeserved.

Reviews

Harvey had such a good time and came home happy and tired! I know he was well cared for and I loved the updates throughout the day.
Reliable and nice- definitely recommend.

We just love the family. They take superb care of Prince (our dog) who is always happy and healthy to stay with them



She kept excellent communication and updated pictures the whole stay, and my animals clearly adored her.
