A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs either at a park or the beach (if they like that). I also enjoy playing fetch with dogs and giving them treats if they know some commands. With kitties I like to keep them company in whatever way they are comfortable with, I can also play with them if they have cat toys or other enrichment activities they enjoy!

Minerva was incredibly responsive for our last-minute request for a daily drop-in to take care of our 2 cats. She gave great communication and cute photos of our boys to keep us feeling connected to them while we were traveling, and we came home to a clean place & happy kitties!

Minerva was great with my cats! One of my cats is very shy but felt comfortable with Minerva, even asking to be pet! Minerva was kind enough to meet prior to the visit to meet the cats and go over tasks which made me feel more at ease when leaving for my trip!

Minerva is wonderful, she helped me out last minute and handled my high energy dog very well. She’s very nice and communicates well too which is very much appreciated
