Beautiful 3 bedroom home in Historic Longfellow, with loving mini goldendoodle
Introduction
We are a family of four that loves to camp, travel, and spend time adventuring with our daughters. Our loving and adorable dog Sunny needs someone equally as loving to watch after her during our escapades.
Show more...Home & location
Our 3 bedroom home in Longfellow, Minneapolis is located just a few blocks from Minnehaha Falls, the Mississippi River Trail, and a quick shot to the chain of Lakes or Fort Snelling State Park. If you love shopping, movies and eating out and you can cruise across the bridge and be in Highland Village in a few minutes. Longfellow is quite possibly one of the better bicycling and walking neighborhoods in the twin cities, with easy access (within a few blocks) to both the A Line Bus Rapid Transit and the Blue Line Light Rail. The old trees and historic neighborhood have a great feel - you can get out and adventure or easily pass a whole day lounging in a hammock in our front yard. *social distancing and masks during the home orientation and exchange are a requirement for staying here. If you have questions, please feel free to ask!

PET INFO Sunny is a super fun and cuddly dog (she is 1.5 years old as of 5/15/2024) who is potty trained and well behaved. She does need regular walks and loves to play with her humans to burn off some of that pup energy. (Her yard zoomies are just the best!) She is not currently left home alone much and can get anxious when people leave the house. Sunny can get especially worried when all four of her usual humans are gone and responds to this by becoming an extra velcro dog, loves to be near you, cuddle you, and also is sad when you go. :) This is usually remedied by plenty of exercise and we have tons of neighbor friends (and their dogs) who like to help make that happen. She sleeps through the night in the bedroom. FEEDING SUNNY Sunny has 1 level cup/scoop 2x/day, morning and evening and she eats in her crate. There are treats in the food container, she loves to practice sit, laydown and leave it. As well as rewarding her for looking when you call her name. WALKING SUNNY There are a leash and bags for cleaning up poop by the door. One to three walks a day would be great! Make sure it is light out, though. PET ZONES Sunny can really go anywhere in the house, but she needs to be supervised more closely in the basement (she has been peeing on the laundry and any time she has jumped up on our bed) She isn’t allowed on beds anymore. (see above) HOUSEHOLD TASKS Please bring in the mail Take out the trash Wednesday evening If you use dishes and cook, please clean up (teflon pans shouldn’t be scrubbed but cleaned with rag) The last morning of your stay, please strip bed and move sheets and pillow cases into the washer and dryer We ask that you leave the house in the same shape as when you arrived

Dave and Sarah and Jamie and Maddie are a lovely family with an adorable home in Longfellow. It is located in a part of town that is near several parks and is walking distance to grocery stores and small neighborhood restaurants. Their home has everything you need for a nice stay, including a basement television with Netflix! Sunny, their Labradoodle puppy, lives up to her namesake. She has lots of energy and loves human company. She does best with lots of exercise, and, if possible, a play date with a neighbor dog or two. She is learning some tricks, like sitting and laying down, and responds well to treats.

Sunny is so adorable, she didn't want to leave my side. Whichever room I was in she was as well (a little separation anxiety but to me so adorable)💞 She gave the best nap snuggles. On our walks she was determined to bring me to her friend's house (she knew the way, so smart) I had to pick her up to get her on a different path for our walks. She loved to be held!! She was so adorable and made setting her down so hard, I would have carried her the whole walk. But how would she exercise?? 😂 I would definitely go back to Minnesota to watch her again. Sunny's family was super welcoming when I got there. They made it very easy to coordinate the stay!! The Minnehaha falls is so close to their home, I walked there a lot! Explored the trails and took in the surreal nature vibes 💕 🫠 Definitely a sit I won't forget!!

We enjoyed staying at Dave's place to watch sweet Maya. She is quite old so honestly did not require much work beyond gentle guidance (since she is mostly blind), letting her out occasionally, helping her up a few stairs (she'll stand at the bottom to let you know she's ready to come up) and replacing her bedding daily. Dave provided detailed, helpful instructions and was available via text if any issues had come up. Their home was quiet and cozy in a nice neighborhood!
