I have a large fenced backyard that is full of squirrels and rabbits to chase, plenty of sticks to be thrown, and shady trees and grass to roll around in. I grew up with dogs in the home and am frequently requested as a dog-sitter by friends of mine, although I don't have any animals of my own currently. I live near a number of lazy streets in Northeast Minneapolis that are good for walks, and plenty of parks and bike/walking trails as well. There is space inside the house to hang out and sleep, though I've found visiting dogs usually just want to spend most of their time out in the backyard. I work from home most weeks, so I am available for longer stays, depending on whether or not I have travel plans over the weekend.
