Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for Your Dog Like My Own
While I may not have formal professional pet care experience, I have years of hands-on experience caring for my family’s dog and helping neighbors with their pets. As a person who has been granted responsibility to many pets, I understand how important it is to provide patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love so every dog feels safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every pet. I treat each dog like my family’s, paying close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower pace, I make sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Just looking for an experience to put all my dog-love while I’m away from home!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, secure leashes or fenced areas during walks and outdoor time, and plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and will carefully follow any feeding schedules, walk routines, house rules, or special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I believe communication builds trust, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Minna took such great care of our dog and our home! Highly recommend her for anyone who needs help with their pets and house sitting!
Minna is awesome! She’s great with communication, reliable, and our dog loves her too!
Minna was great with Scottie and sent me lots of updates!
Minna has provided excellent care for my young cat on multiple occasions! My cat, Stormi, is very playful and sociable, and Minna proved herself to be an amazing playmate and cat-sitter (confirmed by timely pictures and videos when she was caring for Stormi)! One thing I also really appreciate about Minna is her flexibility. She has been able to watch Stormi on short notice for me when I've had emergencies/urgent trips come up. 10/10 would recommend Minna!
Minna is an excellent caretaker for all animals! I have both a dog and a cat that Minna has taken care of for short- and long-term periods of time. Minna is extremely responsible, kind, thoughtful, punctual, and most importantly, has such a natural connection and gentle manner with animals. My dog is especially high maintenance, as she requires multiple walks per day and (sometimes) requires positive reinforcement training for her behavior. Minna has exceeded my expectations in working with my dog- going above and beyond to coordinate with me on our current behavioral training programs and make sure that my dog is getting the attention and love she deserves. I am confident Minna would be an excellent caretaker for any intermittent pet care needs or as an addition to you and your pet's daily routine. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Minna took care of my goldendoodle when I was out of the country. Minna was incredible! Minna walked my dog several times a day, played with my dog and sent me updates with photos. Minna is caring and responsible. My dog loves spending time with Minna. I highly recommend Minna for taking care of your pets for daily walks or overnight stays.

Schedule
I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Denver and field hockey coach for a local club. Pet care is always on the forefront of my mind since I encapsulate that role every time I’m home. My schedule is built around walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure my dog feels comfortable and cared for, so adding your pup into my routine feels very natural to me. I’m flexible with timing and will always do my best to match your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
