We had the great pleasure of having Mindy and Jinx sit for us for a few weeks this month.   We had a good feeling from their first letter of introduction and that was amplified by the zoom call that followed.  Those positive first impressions created high expectations, but Mindy and Jinx managed to exceed them.
  
First and foremost, of course, are the pets.  There are five young dogs and cats living at our house, ranging in age from 1 year to 3 years.  Our Dachshund has endless energy and he gets very focused on playing ball.  In fact, to the point of obsession.
  
We also have two rescue dogs.  As street dogs, these one-year old dogs have a natural distrust of humans.  We’re working on overcoming that but, it’s slow progress.  Caring for them takes a lot of patience.  They are constantly wanting to be physically near to us inside the house but then they get anxious and go running back outside.

Our cats are a little easier.  The younger one is very adventuresome and has found herself stuck on the roof on multiple occasions. 

The first evidence that Mindy and Jinx had done a superlative job with caring for our pets was how very relaxed both the dogs and the cats were when we returned from our trip.  They were happy to see us but it was clear that all was well in their world.  

A second point of evidence is that our male rescue dog has made a significant improvement in his ability to handle his anxiety around people.  This was unexpected and demonstrated that Mindy and Jinx either spent time working with him on the trust issue intentionally or just influenced the change by being consistent and calm around him.  Either way, we’re really happy with the progress.

In addition to the pets, Mindy and Jinx took great care of our personal belongings including a motorcycle that we invited them to use.  Normally, when we have sitters, we find a few things that got put away in a different place than we had been using.  That’s normal and not a problem but, it creates a period after the return where we are acutely aware that someone has been living in the house.  That didn’t happen with these two veteran sitters.  

Part of the comfort for us on the trip was knowing the wealth of experience that Mindy and Jinx have.  They’re extremely well-traveled, including here in Thailand where we are located.  We never had to worry that they would have issues with understanding how daily life is conducted here or have difficulty getting the things they needed from the market.  

They were heavily involved with rescue organizations in their past life.  I’m sure that experience translated to the progress of our rescue dog.  Even if their experience was with feline rescue, they understand well the issues that both dogs and cats go through in these situations.

Finally, they are great communicators so we never had to worry about what might be going on at home.  

We give Mindy and Jinx our highest possible recommendation.  You would be very lucky to get them to sit for you.  We hope that schedules work out so that they can come back and sit for us again in the not too distant future.  

We were looking for a pet sitter for a couple of weeks but we got much more than that.  We have some great new friends that we expect will be part our life for a long, long time.
