I have had dogs all my life. I currently live with a very laid back and lazy Basset Hound who is very interested in friendly dogs. He gets along with all dogs. Would love to take care of your pet while you are away. I live in a spacious open floor plan in a downtown area of Minneapolis. Your furry friend does need to be able to walk on a leash to be walked. The care and comfort of your family member is the most important to me. I have traveled extensively in my life and always was concerned about leaving my four legged friend behind. Trust the care will be top notch! There will be several walks per day as well as fresh water always. I will abide by your feeding schedule and care guidelines whatever the case may be. (I do ask for you to write that out in advance. A bed or cage or toys or any comfort always helps. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your pet for a wonderful overnight experience.
