“I recently had the pleasure of having Alexandra come to my home to take care of my golden retriever, and 2 maine coons. We went on a 5 day vacation and Alex took great care of my home and fur-babies, she sent lots of pictures, and responded to text immediately. She fed the animals on time and kept the litter boxes clean, I came home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you Alex! I will definitely be contacting you for our next vacation.”

“We have special needs very spoiled pups and Amanda was so loving and caring! It was our first trip where we weren’t in driving distance and I didn’t worry a bit! She went above when we had cat food issues. I can’t say enough great things about Amanda!”

“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“I had to go out of town for a few days and needed a boarding kennel for my 70lb lab. My kennel that I have used previously closed down operations so I needed to find someplace new. I couldn't find any place I liked so I started searching online for someone to care for my dog at their home. That is how I discovered Rover. I found Charles on Rover and rather than keeping my dog at his home he offered to come stay at my home. Which for me was the best possible outcome. It worked out great. Charles was very respectful of my home and my dog liked him. If I have to board my dog again, Charles will be my first choice. I highly recommend him.”

“Liz did an amazing job with Gizmo. She entertained her and got her out for fresh air several times during her watch. I would have Liz watch Gizmo again if I’m ever in the area.”

“Ashley stayed in my home and took exceptional care of Harley and Izzy while I was away. She treated them like her own and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that Harley and Izzy were relaxed, happy, and enjoying their time with her. I am incredibly grateful for the care Ashley provided. Being away from my dogs is never easy, but knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!”

“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”

Katie L.

“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”

Kelly G.

“Carlie was wonderful!! A family wedding caused all normal dog sitters to be unavailable. Carlie came to meet my adult children’s’ dogs at my house where she ended up watching them over a long weekend. She was extremely responsive and the dogs loved her!! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Carolyn P.

“Peach was absolutely amazing! She brought the kindest, most gentle and warm energy to our home when she came to stay with our pup for a couple of days. She was very communicative throughout the entire duration we were gone, as well as in the days leading up to our trip. I'm not sure what we would have done without here! I would highly recommend Peach for overnight stays with your pup. She's extremely thorough, kind and trustworthy. We'll certainly be reaching out to her for any future stay needs! :)”

Adam K.

“We recently had Erin stay at our house with our cat while we were out of town. She gave frequent updates and photos. We came home to a happy cat and immaculate home. Would definitely book Erin again!”

Laura G.

“Sue was wonderful. Our dogs took minimal time being comfortable with her, where they normally take 15-30 min to warm up to people. When we returned home the dogs were happy and Sue left the house spotless. Thank you so much for a great experience, Sue!”

Brooke B.

“Excellent care of our pups”

Tara S.

“What a great experience! We will definitely book with Trie again. 😃 Both our fur kids were well cared for and we had such a sense of relief knowing they were in good hands.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my house and now have my own kitty Arnold 🐈 I’ve been pet sitting for my family for years and hope I can pet sit for you too! I just moved to the area as I am studying for my Masters Degree! I am currently working part time and attending a Masters Program online so my schedule is very flexible! I am in the lakes region most weekends as well. In my free time I do a lot of walking so taking dogs for long walks is not a problem! I have a car that can fit atleast two XL dogs in the back. My cat has had health issues so I can administer medication for both cats and dogs

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more than just a job, it’s something I genuinely love. I am the owner of Mindsett Paws, my pet care business dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for dogs and cats. In addition to running my own pet care business, I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for the past year, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. This experience has taught me how to safely manage group play, recognize canine body language, administer medications when needed, and ensure pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and dogs that may need a little extra patience and reassurance. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I tailor my care to their individual needs. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. My goal is to provide the same level of care, communication, and attention that I would want for my own pets. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I am also a veteran, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I take great pride in creating a safe, loving environment for every pet in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of Mindsett Paws and someone who has worked professionally in dog daycare and boarding, caring for animals has become a regular part of my lifestyle, not just a side job. My schedule allows me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am an active person who enjoys spending time outdoors, so dogs in my care receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. At home, my family and I have friendly, well-socialized dogs of our own, so our days are already centered around pet care, routines, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals. Whether your pet is staying overnight, stopping by for daycare, or needs a drop-in visit, I work hard to maintain their normal routine and make them feel right at home. I also prioritize communication and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, and affection. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor interactions, and never leave pets unattended in situations that could compromise their safety. I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements provided by the owner. For drop-in visits and walks, I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I ensure pets have fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will communicate any concerns immediately. As a pet care professional and dog daycare employee, I have experience recognizing canine body language, monitoring group interactions, and creating positive experiences for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, trustworthy care and make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and at home.
