Elopement Coverage for a Gentle Giant in a Cozy Home :)
Introduction
Hi! I'm Josie and I have a lovable German Shepard/Colli named Nako (pronounced Nay-Koe). I tend to travel a lot and am living in a sweet, cozy home in south Minneapolis. This current trip is for my fiance and I’s elopement in the Northern Cascades! We’d love to have someone fall in love with Nako while we say our vows. I've heard great things about this service and I used to live in a van to travel the country - I would love to have some travelers stay in my place and feel at home in Minneapolis!

This beautiful home in south Minneapolis has a ton of character and is in a prime location. It's directly next to Hiawatha golf course and has tons of delicious restaurants in biking distance (A couple being a 10 minute walk away). Some of my favorite food spots nearby are Matt's (world famous), I.e. , Reverie and the 5/8. This home features a california king sized bed, two working desks, a private yard to take out Nako, a fridge, microwave, oven, air fryer, and European coffee maker. The cross streets of the home are 42nd Street and 22nd Ave. Lake Nakomis is a 4 minute drive away and is a beautiful place to go for a walk or watch the sunset. It's also a short drive or uber from downtown Minneapolis! I used to live there so I have plenty of recommendations.

Feed Nako 2x per day and take him out 3x per day (our yard is private but only fenced in 3/4 of the way so you just need to make sure he stays in the back (he's never run away before)). He also gets medication every night - two pills with his food.

I had a phenomenal sit with Nako, my first time in Minneapolis, and I felt right at home! Nako is a big boy and extremely well-behaved. He is fantastic to take on walks and socially gets along with all other dogs in the most joyful way. Josies place in Minneapolis is a prime time location, and Josie went above and beyond to make sure my stay with Nako was carefree and comfortable as can be. I would gladly return for a sit here in the future and recommend you do the same. Thank you!!

My time with Nako at Josie's place was great. Nako is such a sweet and friendly dog. He accepted me right away and both of us enjoyed daily walks along the Mississippi River. The home is in a very walkable area with nearby access to lots of restaurants, venues, etc. Thanks for having me!

I recently had the opportunity to housesit for Nako, a well-behaved Shepherd/Collie mix, in a comfortable apartment located on the north side of downtown Minneapolis. Nako's well-mannered behavior on the leash and his ability to communicate his needs in a polite manner made the experience a 10 of 10! One of the notable features of this housesit was the rooftop dog potty area. This well thought-out addition made taking care of Nako's needs incredibly convenient while offering a great view of the city. The apartment owner, Josie, was a pleasure to interact with – courteous, responsive, and undemanding. Her careful attention to Nako's needs contributed to a smooth and comfortable stay. The combination of Nako's well-behaved nature, the convenient dog potty area, Josie's accommodating approach, and the stunning views made it a memorable stay. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to housesit for Nako again in the future.

The puppers was such a gentle giant - very well-behaved on walks, interacted well with the other dogs we encountered in the building's pup run upstairs, super snuggly, and just the sweetest thing! The apartment is comfortable and in a great location downtown near the riverwalk, which is especially fantastic if you're into biking. It did take a bit of acclimating to some of the technological access issues, like the parking garage, initial entry to the building, and locking the apartment door, but Josie was super responsive as these matters arose. It may just be easier to arrive before she departs if you can, though. I definitely recommend this sit to anyone and would be happy to return myself if the opportunity arose!

We had a great time with Nako at Josie’s apartment. Josie had given us a heads-up that we might be met with some barking, but Nako was the consummate host and only gave a greeting growl. We walked along the Mississippi River Trail two times each day. Nako is wonderful on leash and very responsive to verbal and non verbal commands. At night, we did utilize the rooftop dog run - which was convenient. Josie was timely and responsive in her communication. She paid for my parking in the garage, which was very helpful and alleviated any stress related to finding a nearby spot. We felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nako. Thank you, Josie!
