Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

Information Mindy D. would like to know about your pet

I love to know medications, temperaments, favorite toys and treats, general routines for your babies before hanging out with them, what they are afraid of (vacuums, mail carriers, etc), if they like cuddles, and basically anything else you find relevant.

A typical day

I love playing with animals, taking them for walks or hikes if they enjoy them! I love to snuggle with them too because I know their people miss them and they miss them too.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me!

Mindy is seriously the best. We are new to the area and having her stay with our dog made my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was there. She sent pictures almost every day. When I got home my dog was so at ease even though we had been gone for over a week. She was very respectful of our home while we were gone. I will definitely be using her service next time we go out of town. Thank you Mindy!!

Mindy was awesome! She took good care of our dogs and kept us updated regularly with pictures of our dogs. We definitely plan on hiring her again. We highly recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
