Mindy is absolutely fantastic with dogs. She is really good about special instructions like specific diets and medications. She is also great about communication with how the dogs are doing and pictures. I would reccomend Mindy in a heart beat for any dog sitting needs!

Good Morning! I would love to tell you a bit more about Mindy, and her love for animals. Mindy’s love for animals goes above and beyond most people I know. She truly is an amazing friend and she is someone I trust with my pets with my whole heart. Her love for animals is actually quite infectious and my family and friends trust her to watch their pets just from meeting her and hearing her talk about her love and care for animals in all aspects. When she watches my animals (cats and dogs) she is very attentive and is excited to spend time with them. She’s on time with their feeding schedule and plays with them extra long just for the love of the pets! She definitely pays attention to each animals and their personalities and can read my pets very well if she feels one is acting off or different in anyway she’s reaches out with details to keep me in the loop! She loves interacting with all animals in whatever way they are comfortable, from licking her face or wanting nothing to do with her she enjoys every minute! I think Mindy would be an amazing animal caregiver for any pet and she would definitely be able to prove it! If you have anymore questions on Mindy please reach out! Thank you!
