Information Lydia M. would like to know about your pet

I don't want any aggressive dogs, or dogs that don't get along with others. My little Pedro gets along with just about everyone, and it is fun for him to have guests to play with.

A typical day

A typical day would include walks in the park across the street, playing in the backyard, cuddling and watching movies together, fun toys to play with and lots of attention.

FENCED YARD - ACROSS FROM PARK!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Lydia. I live in a big house with a fenced yard right across the street from Longfellow Park in South Minneapolis. It's a beautiful dog friendly neighborhood - great for dog walking! My little dog Pedro gets along great with others, and enjoys having guests to play with. I have kennels (extra large and smaller) with comfortable beds inside if required, in a separate room or if your dog/s just like a kennel. Dogs love it here, because it's a fun vacation for them! I play with the dogs often and have a toy box full of goodies for them to chose from and play with. My back yard is large and has plenty of room for dogs to run laps and to get plenty of exercise. I also take the dogs for plenty of walks though out the day and take them to the park across the street. I have experience in administering oral medications and have much experience with elderly dogs and special needs dogs. I take LOTS of pictures and bother you daily with them, but know you are busy so you are not obligated to respond to my texts - they're just for you to see how your furry friends are doing. I treat every dog like my own and LOVE dogs. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your special friend. I have years of experience caring for dogs. I have a big fenced yard, and a big house with lots of room for your dog to play. I also have several different sized crates, if you want or need you dog to be crated. I have clean comfortable bedding for them.
