Safety, trust & environment

I currently provide pet care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar, stress-free environment. I am respectful, dependable, and follow your routines with care. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for walks, your pet’s safety & well-being are always my top priorities. I will share updates as often as you’d like, so you can feel confident while you're away.

Information Minerve D. would like to know about your pet

It’s really important to me that your pet feels safe, seen, & comfortable in my care. If there’s anything helpful to know such as daily routine, health needs, favorite toys, quirks, or things that make them nervous - please don’t hesitate to share. Every pet is different, and I’ll meet yours with patience, kindness, and care that fits who they are.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor each day based on their energy, personality, and comfort level. We’ll go on enriching walks, play games that stimulate both body and mind, and take time to unwind in a safe, calm space. Whether your pup loves exploring, cuddling, or just soaking up sunshine, I’ll make sure they feel engaged, supported, and cared for every step of the way.

I’ve known Minerve personally for several years, and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most trustworthy and intuitive people I know especially when it comes to caring for animals. We’ve traveled together a few times, and I’ve seen firsthand how she interacts with pets, even in unfamiliar settings. She has a quiet patience that animals naturally respond to. When I’ve been away, she’s helped look after my dog, Theo, and has always gone above and beyond making sure he felt secure, sticking to his routine, and keeping me updated throughout. What sets Minerve apart is her deep sense of respect not just for pets, but for the homes and people who trust her with them. She’s attentive, dependable, and grounded, with a genuine love for animals that comes through in everything she does. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pet

As a first-time dog owner, I was initially nervous about leaving my pup, Milo, in someone else’s care. A mutual friend recommended Minerve, and I’m so grateful they did. From our first meeting, Minerve was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. She took the time to learn Milo’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and built trust with both of us right away. She’s been walking Milo regularly and has even helped reinforce some of his basic training. Milo adores her - he waits at the door for her arrival and returns from walks calm and content. Minerve’s calm energy, reliable communication, and intuitive understanding of animal behavior have made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Minerve for several years as a trusted neighbor and friend. Throughout that time, she has been a reliable and thoughtful presence in our community—especially when it comes to caring for animals. Minerve has helped care for my Labrador, Charlie, on numerous occasions, and each time I’ve been struck by her calm, attentive approach. She takes the time to understand an animal’s individual needs and adapts with genuine patience and care. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or simply spending time with him, Charlie lights up whenever she’s around. Minerve is dependable, respectful of boundaries, and communicates clearly, which makes coordinating with her incredibly easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone who is both professional and deeply compassionate.
