My dogs love staying at Mindy’s I can tell she treats them really good the way they instantly run into her home!

Mindy was excellent and provided wonderful care and great communication for Max! I would 10/10 recommend Mindy!

My dog has been staying with Mindy twice already and so far I feel very comfortable letting him stay with her. She is really sweet, has an ideal backyard and I like that there are always many dogs mine can socialize with. She also sends video updates which I really appreciated. Would board my dog with her again :)

Mindy recently watched our two puppies. Overall, the experience was okay. Mindy is very friendly and accommodating. She also does a great job responding and providing updates, which was helpful while we were away. However, there a couple things that we did not like. 1) We were aware that Mindy had two small dogs, which was fine with us since we have two small puppies and we thought they would be good companions. The puppies met and got along with these dogs at the meet and greet. However, at drop off we heard barking from a large dog and was informed that a German Shepard which was previously police trained (so who likely followed commands well but could be aggressive) was also present. Although, she assured us this dog was friendly, it made us uncomfortable. Particularly, that we were unaware of this dog until drop off on the day we were leaving for our vacation. We would not have chosen this sitter if we were aware of this in the beginning. 2) Since the puppies have returned to us, they have been very aggressive. Previously they were very gentle with other dogs and only barked at them out of excitement, however, now they are barking and growling at other dogs in passing and have become more aggressive in their play with one another. I am not sure if this is from picking up bad behavioral habits from other dogs present or if they had any poor experiences with the dogs there. In any case, we now have to break these bad behavioral habits, which is difficult. Because of these issues, we will not use this sitter again despite the positive aspects.

Mindy was able to watch our fur baby with only 3 days notice and we appreciate the availability. I think there were a total of 8 dogs there and we did get a video each day of our Dior. I could tell Dior had been brushed and were thankful for that.

Thanks,Mindy for keeping Winnie comfortable and happy while we were away! I loved the videos you sent of her playing in the yard!
