Highly recommended pet loving home!

Pet care experience

I have owned and been around dogs for most of my life. My Yorkie, Willow, is my "baby girl" and a calming comfort in my busy world of teenagers! :D I love being around dogs and spending time with them. I have been a Rover sitter since 11/2015. I am cheerful, easy going, and attentive. I do 98% of the care-giving, check ins, and walks but my husband and I work as a team so that we can provide as much flexibility as possible for pick up and drop off times for your stays. I also only care for one family’s dogs at a time (unless both pet parents agree to sharing) so your pups will not be sharing my attention with any other dogs unless we've all agreed to that in advance. :) We can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends! :) I have also been a professional pet bather for 2 years so I offer an option for your pup to get pampered extra and cleaned up while they stay with us! The bath service includes: An oatmeal shampoo and conditioner bath, brush out, nail trim or grinding, and ear cleaning. Also included in that service upon request is: Feet trimming, sanitary areas shaved, and shaving of the paw pads. If you want this service, make sure to add that onto your booking. :) For boarding and daycare: My husband and I work full time during the week so we wouldn't be home during business hours those days. However, we are still happy to care for your dogs on weekdays if you're ok with them being home alone while we are at work. We do have a doggy door so they'd still have access to go potty. For check-ins and walks: I am available weekday evenings after 6:30pm and on weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, a doggy door for their convenience, and we are very careful to not let any pups sneak out the front door when it's opened (since mine likes to take off to "explore" whenever she's given the chance).

I recently had an unexpected family emergency that required me to travel to California at the last minute. In this stressful time, finding someone I could trust to care for my beloved pets was a major concern. This is where Mindy, an exceptional dog sitter, truly shone. Despite the extremely short notice, she didn't hesitate to step in and provide the care my pets needed. Her willingness to accommodate a last-minute check-in was a huge relief. As someone who is very particular about who looks after my pets, I found Mindy's professionalism and genuine love for animals immediately reassuring. She handled everything perfectly, allowing me to focus on my family, knowing my pets were in safe and loving hands. I am immensely grateful for her services and highly recommend Mindy to any pet owner who seeks peace of mind and the best care for their furry friends.

Mindy was great with our Pug. She brought her in, like she was part of the family. Lots of pics and updates while we were gone. Excellent! :) Thanks Mindy!

Information Mindy S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know what kind of play activities your dog enjoys or things that help de-stress your dog in new situations. I'd also like to know if there are any behaviors of concern that your dog might have and your dog's temperament.

A typical day

We have numerous parks around our home. Our yorkie loves walks around the park and the neighborhood. I have a completely fenced in yard and I also have a doggy door for their convenience.
