40 something woman who would like to put your mind at ease and care for your dog while you are working, on vacation or otherwise can't be with your pooch. My husband is also a dog lover. I love all types of dogs and they seem to love me. I try to make them feel safe and secure and give great doggy massages. I grew up around golden retrievers and had a miniature dachshund for 8 years who passed away. We have one year old miniature dachshund who is potty trained, rarely barks and is mild mannered and playful. We do not have children but love and protect Ernie as though he is our child....because he is!!! We would do the same for your dog. We live in a house with a fenced-in yard, located 3 blocks from Lake Nokomis. Open to dog walking, drop in visits, watching your dog in our home or boarding overnight.
