Mindy has watched our dog two times while we have gone out of town. She takes good care of him and keeps us updated with pictures. She is reliable and great with pets!

Mindy provided day care for my aunt's dog, Sassy, while we visited Niagara Falls from Arkansas. Sassy had never been under someone else's care and my aunt was nervous about leaving her with a "stranger". But Mindy was wonderful and allowed us to come for a 'meet and greet' when we arrived in town the day before our booking. My aunt was still nervous about leaving her the next day because Sassy, being a Maltipoo, has separation anxiety. But Mindy knew taking Sassy for a walk right after we left would be a good distraction. She was also wonderful about sending pictures and videos especially that first day and that made us feel better about leaving her. By the second day Sassy was comfortable going straight to Mindy when we arrived. Also, she was very flexible regarding drop off and pick up times.

Mindy was fantastic with my Argyle sending daily updates with photos and video. I would definitely recommend Mindy and have Argyle stay with her in the future.

Information Mindy L. would like to know about your pet

We keep our home neat, tidy & parasite free by following a few simple procedures so everyone has a great time in a safe & healthy environment. Safety Procedures: 1) Meet & greets, pick-ups and drop-offs will be outside, either out front or around the back. 2) Doggies must be up to date & current on all age appropriate surgeries, vaccines & vet care. 3) All doggies must be on some form of flea, mite, parasite & tick prevention. 4) Discuss any allergies, diet / treat restrictions, medications & special needs before booking. 5) All doggies MUST BE POTTY TRAINED TO GO NUMBER 1 & NUMBER 2 OUTSIDE AT MINIMUM EVERY TWO HOURS! Do not book if your doggie marks and / or sprays and / or pottys inside. THERE ARE NO KENNELS so If your doggie feels most comfortable sleeping in their crate at night, you need to bring it with you, otherwise they are free to roam the house & sleep wherever they want so all doggies must be fully potty trained for overnights.

A typical day

Activities include brain stimulating & critical thinking games, earning treats with educational games, free-roam time to burn off excess energy, group training if doggies enjoy friends, going on solo or group adventures, interacting with different animals and humans to develop healthy socialization skills, individual training to positively reinforce wanted behaviors with rewards, indoor and or outdoor activities depending on weather, interactive five senses training games like hide-and-seek and go find, learning new tricks & good habits, mental and physical exercise, open-play to release built up energy in a safe controlled environment, practicing training and recall, playing with puzzle treat games, resting during nap and night time in designated calm areas to avoid overstimulation, socializing, structured play time, taking walks / jogs / runs depending on exercise requirements, taking any medications in accordance with individual instructions & winding down at night watching TV with the family. Any typical day usually includes keeping to a familiar routine plus additional exercise & enrichment to release stress & energy & to keep doggies engaged. Pets receive unlimited access to supervised play outside under the sun if the weather is agreeable! Heavy rain and or snow will relocate activities indoors with the exception of hourly potty breaks & short walks.

FIRST STAY PRICE MATCH PROMO 🥳🎉 guaranteed price match to any other local rover sitter's boarding rates for any new guest's very first stay here! BOARDING OPENINGS - I typically have boarding openings on all regular days & holiday boarding is first come first serve. DAYCARE OPENINGS - I currently have ONE spot available for weekly recurring full-time or part-time daycare — Monday to Friday 🅰️ full-time for five full days per week OR 🅱️ part-time for five half days per week OR 🆎 part-time for two or three full days each week. DROP-OFF & PICK-UP days & times are FLEXIBLE as OWNER drops off before work & picks up after work. To request a flexible daycare schedule outside of regular business hours, send a detailed message with your preferred drop-off & pick-up times — daycare prices & schedules are set up on a case-by-case basis & each situation is evaluated separately taking into account all unique & individual family circumstances. BOARDING PRICING - Flexible pricing is available for super amazing super easy-going super well-behaved superstar doggies — message about flexible boarding pricing to learn more. DAYCARE PRICING - Pricing is determined by evaluating each doggies individual age, behaviors, care requirements, energy level, exercise requirements, health, medical history, personality, schedule, size, special needs, temperament, training level, type of care needed & each family's uniquely individual circumstances including the total number of days per week / hours per day & windows for drop-off / pick-up times. SUPERSTARS DAYCARE - repeat clients with superstar status doggies can select BOARDING when booking daycare — all superstars should book daycare by selecting boarding for discounted superstar daycare rates reserved for superstar status doggies. SOLO BOARDING - ABLE to accommodate requests for solo boarding (hosting only one dog without any other dogs present at no extra cost to owner) on a first-come first-serve basis HOWEVER there is high demand for this service (especially during popular travel times like summer & holidays) and solo spots are LIMITED so please book as far out in advance as possible for pets who need solo boarding. SINGLE FAMILY HOUSEHOLD BOARDING - ABLE to host pets from one single family (all pets who normally live in the same household together) at a time with no other dogs present HOWEVER it's best to book six months in advance because single family household boarding spots fill up quickly so booking early significantly increases chances of being able to request & secure specific dates.
 WHO SHOULD REQUEST SOLO BOARDING OR SINGLE HOUSEHOLD BOARDING? • dogs prone to stress or anxiety • dogs with separation anxiety • anxious and or fearful dogs • dogs who were never socialized • dogs who guard resources • dogs with an independent temperament • dogs with aggressive tendencies • dogs prone to aggression • dogs who exhibit aggressive behaviors • dogs with a bite history • dogs in heat & intact dogs WHY? Some pets thrive on social interaction and prefer to be around other animals, others find it stressful to be around other animals and often just prefer to hang out with humans. Solo boarding in a quiet home with anime watching game playing introverts is often preferred over boarding at a busy house with the presence of many other animals where a lot of activity is happening. Suddenly separating pets from their family & placing them in a busy environment can be stressful, overstimulating & overwhelming, making it difficult for pets to relax or decompress — staying in a peaceful home and keeping to a familiar routine is more comfortable and less stimulating which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.
