Lake Harriet Haven

Pet care experience

1:1 dog care - I generally only accept dogs from 1 family at a time, so you can be assured YOUR dog is getting the love and attention it deserves while you are away! I have a very sweet and gentle 5yr old beagle who gets along with all dogs over 2.5 years old. Sorry if under 2.5 years old, I probably cant sit for you. He shares his dog bed, the couch, my bed and my attention. If your dog is potty trained and at least 3 years old, they will have run of first floor (about 1000 sq feet), bedroom doors upstairs are closed during the day. At night, my bedroom door is open and I allow them on the bed Minimum 3 day booking over Holidays and 3 day minimum for summer weekends (Memorial Day thru Labor Day) I am semi-retired, so am home in/out a lot during the day. I live near Lake Harriet and happy to take your dog with me around the lake. If they cant walk the whole lake, then we just walk in neighborhood to poop/pee as needed. Dog walks are included in your daily rate. I also walk dogs in the neighborhood from Nov until April. Rover only allows 1 rate, But I have multiple rates various durations. Just ask.

You can trust that your dog is going to be well cared for and treated like a member of the family. She's awesome.

Linda did an excellent job looking after Bear on our trip! He has a ton of anxiety and he took to her right away. Lambeau is a sweetheart too. We will definitely see her again! ???

Dogs are on leash at all times when outside. I do not have a fenced backyard, Which means frequent exercise and potty breaks for our pups. Inside they have run of the house as long as they are potty trained. They are allowed on the couch and on my bed.

Information Linda W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know a typical day during the week and on weekends at your house with your dog. Do you work at home? Do you have others in the house? How does she/he behave on walks when other dogs are approaching?

A typical day

I live near Lake Harriet so that is my preference on walking. Walking the dogs is the 1st thing I do when I get up in the morning. Then dogs get fed. I typically get out at least 4 more times throughout the day. If your dog likes dog parks, I have a pass for a very large fully fenced off-leash dog park at Crosstown and Shady Oak, part of the Three Rivers Park District area... Bryant Lake off leash dog park. I'm semi-retired so Im at home a lot. if your dog likes my lap I'm more than willing to have them hang on my lap!

I have a gardening business in the summer months and I'm in-and-out of the house a lot. In the Winter I have a lot of flexibility. Which means lots of time for walks & dog park visits!
