Loving Care When You Can't Be There

I've been a dog owner my entire life, often caring for multiple dogs simultaneously. This experience has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs, and I've successfully trained all my dogs in basic obedience commands. Beyond personal pet ownership, I have pet-sitting experience, including caring for both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable with various services, from quick drop-in visits to overnight stays, and I'm prepared to handle any situation, including pet emergencies. As a trustworthy and dependable individual, you can count on me to provide responsible and loving care for your pets. My experience includes handling and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds, including pit bulls, so I'm confident in my ability to manage even the most energetic pups.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is creating a comfortable and loving environment that mirrors their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medications your pet requires. Beyond the basics, I believe in providing plenty of attention, whether that's through playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I'm happy to engage in activities your pet enjoys, such as walks, fetch, or toys. I'll also keep a close eye on their overall well-being, noting any changes in behavior or appetite, and will immediately communicate any concerns to you. Ultimately, my goal is to provide your pet with the same love and care they receive from you, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved in your absence.

Mindy was Fantastic!. She had excellent communication and sent photos of my pup every day.She also went above and beyond in walking her and teaching her some tricks as well as did some obedience training. Lily loved her and looked forward to her visits. I would most definitely contact her again if I needed someone to check in on my pup.

Mindy was wonderful! At our meet and greet she was so organized. Wrote everything down about my dogs needs. When she left I felt so comfortable having her in my home watching my pups. Mindy watched them over the 4th weekend, I knew how one would act cause we've been through fireworks for 6 years but it was the first for my high anxiety German shepherd/Belgian Malinois that I adopted 5 months ago. Well I guess he didn't like them to much, but she was there trying to calm him down the whole time. Mindy kept me updated and let me know when he finally settled down. I couldn't be happier for the care my River and Rumor received. I highly highly recommend Mindy. .

Mindy was amazing with our pups. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and dedication. She was able to keep up with our potty training schedule and my dogs felt at home with her. I highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook in the future!!

THE best sitter ever! Seriously. Kind, attentive and great communicater. She sat for our 16.5 yr old doxie and we came home to a happy pup. At 16.5 he does have a couple special needs for caring and walking. She will for ever be our sitter. Without a doubt. She even left US a thank you note. She, herself, is absolutely a lovely person.

Mindy did an excellent job caring for my two black kitties while I was away. I would highly recommend Mindy’s services to others.

My work-from-home status provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate pet-sitting requests. While I can often arrange in-home visits with a couple of days' notice (pending any pre-existing commitments), booking in advance is always appreciated to ensure availability. This flexibility allows me to tailor my schedule to best meet your pet's needs.

To ensure the best care for your pet, please share their daily routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and preferred play activities. Any specific dietary needs, medical conditions, or medications are crucial to know. I also need to understand their temperament: are they shy, energetic, or anxious? Knowing their favorite toys, any triggers, and how they interact with other animals or people will help us provide a safe and comfortable environment. Finally, please inform me of any unique habits or quirks that make your pet special!
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.
