About: Hi! I’m McKenna, the owner of Mino & Mates. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs, different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and clients trust me to take care of their pets whether it’s walks, drop-ins, daycare, or boarding.
I focus on making sure dogs have a fun, comfortable, and stress-free time. Whether that means playtime, walks, or just relaxing and feeling at home. Every dog is different, so I go with what makes them happiest.
I’m also an experienced dog trainer and can help with anything from basic commands to behavioral issues if you’re interested, but it’s always optional and tailored to your dog.
I also offer local and out-of-state transports, making it easy and safe if your dog ever needs to travel.
My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and genuinely cared for—like they’re on a little getaway with someone they know.
Pet care and dog training is my full-time focus, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule to make sure each dog gets the care, exercise, and routine they’re used to.
I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard where dogs can play, relax, and have fun. I also have three friendly dogs who are used to being around others and help create a fun, social environment, they love making new fur friends!
I always prioritize safety and will follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Whether your dog is crate-trained or crate-free, I can accommodate both. I also keep your house rules consistent ; if your dog is allowed on furniture at home, they’re welcome here, and if not, I’ll make sure those boundaries are respected.
I offer plenty of mental and physical enrichment throughout the day, including things like Kongs, lick mats, snuffle pads, tennis balls, a splash pad, and a baby pool for dogs who love water.
My goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment where your dog feels comfortable, has fun, and feels right at home

“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”

“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”

“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”

“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”

“Katie (and Ruth!) are amazing! Our shy girl had never been boarded before, and we hit the lottery with finding Katie. She was patient with letting Parsley get to know her, and didn't try to force anything. Parsley and Ruth started playing and chasing each other right away - it was awesome to see our usually shy and anxious girl come out of her shell so quickly. We were updated frequently with plenty of pictures. We could tell that Parsley was having an absolute blast - which was confirmed when I went to pick her up and she didn't want to leave. We will absolutely be booking with Katie again.”

“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”

“We have booked an overnight stay with Karl last year so we knew we wanted him to watch our bulldog while we went on vacation for about a week and a half. Lou can be a bit of a handful but Karl is knowledgeable, kind and patient so we had a worry free week+ knowing Lou was in great hands! Karl's comminution and picture updates eased my June knowing he was getting attention and not just locked up all day! We had a couple flight changes but Karl worked with us which was a huge weight lifted. If I could give more stars I would 😀”

“Sally was absolutely amazing with Hiccup. Her communication was consistent and proactive, and we received tons of pictures during his stay! He got exercise daily, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. As soon as Hiccup met Sally and the home, he seemed at ease and adjusted well to the change. He was clearly safe, happy, and well-loved, and we will be using Sally for all of our future dogsitting needs!”

“Paige took such great care of Teddy and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We got tons of photos and she kept us updated the whole time, so we always knew he was happy and in good hands.
You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Teddy clearly adored her. We’ll 100% be booking with Paige again!!”
