I am a full-time teacher, so I may not be able to house-sit during the school year on weekdays. (My summer will be a different story!) I also cannot have a ton of animals over due to my three scaredy-cats, but my afternoons and weekends are always flexible for furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a strong believer in making sure my own kitties do not get out of the house. I usually make sure I have set my eyes on all three of them before leaving. I would do the same for your babies. I enjoy playing with animals for as long as they'd like, whether it's fetch or a laser pointer. I am down to give all the belly rubs and scritchy-scratches. I am always careful not to over-stimulate or overcrowd animals as I too like my personal space.

Information Minna S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Is there anything unique about him/her or a habit I should be warned about for his/her safety? Any allergies or fears (i.e. thunder, fireworks, etc.)?

A typical day

If the owner is comfortable, I would be willing to travel to larger locations to go on walks. This includes the beach or West Melbourne community park. I would be open to going to a park that the owner requests.

Rescue Mommy to 3 Kitties & 2 Pups

Pet care experience

I adopted my first personal feline friend in 2017. She had a broken leg at the time, and I took care of her between my college classes until she was able to walk again. I've rescued stray kittens and dogs since then, as well as adopted 2 more kitties and a puppy. I've also helped with farm-sitting, feeding goats, chickens, and ducks. I've walked friends' dogs, as well as spent time playing with them or taking them on car rides.

She was an absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, she was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about our dogs like they were her own. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious our pups felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home to relaxed, well-loved dogs. We couldn’t ask for anything better. Highly recommend!

Minna is awesome! She was very communicative and provided updates with plenty of photos. She even came back later to feed the kitties after our road was closed and then went above and beyond to make sure our doors were locked. We will definitely have Minna care for our babies again!

Minna is amazing! She went above and beyond to care for my chickens while I was away on vacation. Thank you so much!

Minna does a great job with our kitties. She communicates with us and sends pictures every visit.
