Loving an animal awakens the soul!
Pet care experience
At 7 years old I brought home my first (street) dog. With much convincing to my parents, we rescued him until he was 21, and passed. Recently, I live in a complex that doesn't allow dogs. Therefore, I rescued 3 cats. At one point 2 were together. my current fur-baby cat Sammie......rescued me. Cried so loudly under a generator. I brought her immediately to the Veterinarian, who told me if she was out for another week she would not have survived. I have babysat friends animals (AKITA) in their home. My fur-babies are my children, forever.
Reviews
We highly recommend Mindy! We went out of town for a week and Mindy stayed at our house and watched our dogs while we were away. We were extremely nervous leaving because our six month old puppy was recently diagnosed with congenital heart disease and our older dog has seperation anxiety. We almost canceled our trip until we found Mindy. She took such great care of both our dogs and being a former nurse we felt both our puppy and senior dog were safe and in great hands. She kept us updated frequently with pictures and how the dogs were doing each day. She is very reliable, professional and our dogs absolutely adore her! We are very grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Mindy has been wonderful with my dog Mason. He was a rescue with trust issues and Mindy's steady, kind & loving attention over the last year have been invaluable in making him a much calmer dog. I am so grateful for all the time and effort she's put into her role as caregiver on their daily walks; I would heartily recommend Mindy to anyone looking for a dog-walker or sitter.
Mindy's involvement with animals began when at age 7 she brought home a stray. She took care of him, she trained him, his needs and taught a old dog new tricks.She took care of him until he passed. Mindy has always been fond of all animals and has ridden horses for many years. She has been dog walking since last summer and has repeat clients. She is equally like by the dogs and their owners and loves the work as well, continue and expand what she is doing. Thank you for your courtesy and interest.
Mindy has been walking Mason 5 days a week for a little over 7 months. Mason was a rescue with trust issues but Mindy has been invaluable in helping to socialize him and getting him over his fear of strangers. She is reliable, thoughtful and really cares for Mason. He is a very playful dog and Mindy not only walks him but plays with him every day. He has also become quite affectionate with her. I would heartily recommend Mindy to anyone who needs a dog walker or sitter.

Information Mindy G. would like to know about your pet
As an Registered Nurse my first inquiry is the animal on any medications - orally or by injection. I have experienced giving oral and injectionable medications for both cat/dog. Does the dog need wound care? Which I did for my friends AKITA, daily. The animals temperament. Is your animal pet friendly? Does your animal respond to basic training commands. I professionally trained my Husky after my first dog. Favorite treats. Tickle, petting and playing spots.
A typical day
I love to take walks in the park or by the water. In your home I could play any favorite activity. If the dog is animal friendly - a dog park would be great for some fast and fun, playing catch.
