A Girl's Best Friend is Her Dog
Pet care experience
From a very young age, dogs have always brought so much joy to my life and those around me. In my spare time, I love playing, walking and cuddling with dogs. I’ve also worked as a caretaker at a vet hospital for a time in addition to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always wanted an opportunity to take care of more furry friends on a regular basis while their owner is away, so this is a perfect opportunity to get to do that. I'm really passionate about dogs and love having my passion become not just a job but a fulfillment in life. I am lucky enough to have a fairly open schedule, which means that I’m a great fit for pups that need a bit more attention or company. I’m home most of the day, so your pup and I will get lots of play time in together. Whether it be tug-o-war with their favorite toy, running around my backyard or going on walks, I'll make sure they gets plenty of play time! Twice a week I do attend church and Bible study but am normally gone for only a few hours tops. I've been told that I am very in tune with people and animal's emotions and how their feeling and tend to gravitate towards showing them love and compassion by simply being present with them and doing my best to meet their needs. My is really pet friendly. I have hardwood floors so I can easily clean up any mess. I have a backyard where you dog can walk around or lay out in the sun with high brick walls so it's very secure. The neighborhood is also peaceful with very little noise. My neighborhood is called Harbor Valley. It’s a very quaint, family-friendly neighborhood that has many grassy areas that are perfect for pups. I do live with two other roommates (females), who both love dogs. I’ll be the primary caretaker, but they’re always happy to say hello and send some love their way!

Mindy has a great personality and passion for pets. My kittens knew it right away. All my kittens are afraid of any visitors but with Mindy they came out of hiding to visit her. I felt very secure when she babysat for me. I would recommend her to all my friends....
As my daughter I can attest to the fact that Mindy has a very big heart when it comes to the furry four legged domestic animals. Mindy never likes to see an animal suffer or be neglected. A case in point would be a dog that she knew the owner was treating inhumanely by leaving it outside with hardly any food or water and it was infested with fleas. Mindy, through her love and devotion personally nursed the dog back to health and when she could no longer keep the dog she searched for weeks and weeks to find a good home for the dog. When she finally found a mother and her young daughter who were interested in the dog, she personally made sure that this was the right home for the dog. It broke her heart to have to give the dog away but Mindy knew it was the right thing to do. She has such a gentle and caring feel for animals.

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Since I’m home most of the day, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to get in some play time. I’m happy to meet pups at their level, no matter what it is! I have a big backyard that any pooch will find great for playing in. I’m always happy to go in for a game of tug-o-war or just spend some time laying in the sun! I always love going on walks around the neighborhood, and we’ll be sure to get some exercise in frequently and every day. If your pup is a little bit more on the easygoing side, I’m happy to spend some quality time with them around the house or just go on double cuddle duty!
