Pet care experience
8 Yrs Veterinary Tech Experience
I love ALL animals and I've had pets all of my life! I worked as a Vet Tech for 8 years and lived/worked on a farm with all kinds of animals. My parents raise German short hairs. I often take care of pets for my friends and family while they are gone. My furry kids currently include a 8 year old German Shepherd Mix named Sierra, and a 3 year old German Shepherd Mix named Luna, my sons 10 month old Black Lab Venom, a domestic Shorthair Cat Kneivel and our 9 year old bunny named Hopscotch. Our dog Sierra goes EVERYWHERE with us! I'm happy to say my 17 year old son also loves animals just as much as I do! I will care for your animals as if they were my own and can be trusted to be on time and go the extra mile to make sure your time away is as stress free as possible for your pet. After working at a Vet Clinic for 8 years I can provide every kind of care for your pet. I can give oral, Sub Q, and topical medication as well as trim toe nails, and take your pet for walks. I know how stressful leaving your pet can be so I follow feeding instructions and potty schedules to make sure your pets life is as normal as possible while you are away.

Ratings and reviews
Mindy saved us from a very difficult situation on super short notice, also on a holiday weekend! She was so kind, understanding, and flexible. Our Charlie Bear clearly had a great experience with Mindy as his caregiver, and a surprise bonus was that she socialized our big, yellow lab to a cute kitty cat! Who knew he would love cats? It's my honor to recommend Mindy. She is an awesome human!!
Mindy was absolutely wonderful and gave us tremendous peace of mind during our week-long stay at State Lodge Campground in Custer State Park. She came to our campsite three times during the week to check on our dogs, spending about an hour with them each visit. She took them on walks, gave them potty breaks, spent time cuddling and loving on them, and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away exploring. Mindy was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. Knowing she was checking on them allowed us to enjoy our days without worrying about how they were doing back at camp. Her service was very reasonably priced and worth every penny for the peace of mind she provided. We would gladly book with Mindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter.
Mindy always does such a great job. My pup looks so happy with her.
Mindy was great! I’m so thankful she accepted my last minute request. My girl looked so happy with her! Thanks again Mindy!
Great job!!

I'm available most weekends and Monday-Friday earlier mornings or late afternoons for drop in visits. With proper notice I do have some flexibility in my schedule to allow for special mid day visits during the weekdays.
