About
Thanks for stopping by my page. I've been an animal lover my whole life. Pet Sitting for others since 2020. I've owned and cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats and birds. I spent a number of years as a Zoo Keeper for the Dallas Zoo. My first job ever was at Loop 12 Animal Clinic. I've loved and cared for many dogs, and currently have a horse and care for 3 other horses. Something about an animal's capacity for unconditional love has always bonded me to them. I'm currently working in and around Pecan Plantation, serving our community's need for compassionate in-home care for four-legged animals, both small and large.

Mindy did a great job! I asked for help last minute on a holiday weekend and she stepped up big time. She kept me informed as to how my dogs were doing. That put my mind at ease that my fur babies were being taken care of. I will use Mindy again. Thank you Mindy!!

Mindy did an amazing job with our dog! She was very attentive to his needs. She was always letting us know when she visited him and sent pictures. When she noticed he needed more attention she came by to check on him more throughout the day. I would highly recommend Mindy and would definitely use her services again!

Mindy is the best pet sitter that we have ever had! I would pick all 5 reasons, but it only lets you pick 3. She is very professional. She spent time with our cat & sent pictures/videos & kept us updated. She goes above & beyond taking care of your pet. We will definitely use her again!!

We were thrilled to have Mindy care for our dogs. She handled everything perfectly and sent us updates & videos to keep us connected to our fur babies. Our dogs loved her and had no anxiety when we returned home. We will definitely use her services again!! 🐾❤️
