This is the second time Emma and Taresh have sat for me and I highly recommend them. They had a particularly lovely way with Hunter and he seemed very relaxed and happy with them. Unfortunately my trip didn’t go as planned but Emma and Taresh took it all in their stride and adapted around my changed plans. I would be happy to have them sit for me again.
This is the Third time Odelia and Nath have looked after Molly and we would have no hesitation in inviting them back again. They are a lovely couple who look after Molly so well she is obviously very happy with them. They look after the house well and always leave it clean and tidy

Jen is great. She's kind and funny, professional, responds quickly, the cats loved her (well, one did and the other one was completely unimpressed, but that's approval in her case) and we received pictures of the cats over the time we were gone that made us laugh (she nailed their personalities in the pictures) and reassured us that the cats were receiving excellent care while we were away. On our first meeting she made a ton of notes and the next time we asked her to care for our dummies, we didn't have to leave a care note or remind her about the routine as she'd taken such thorough notes about our cats and their care the first time. We highly recommend Jen to anyone who needs pet care.
I am very impressed with Jen's Home and Pet Care services. I recently took a much needed trip away and left my 4 dachshunds in her care. She was very pleasant to speak to and enthusiastic about this huge undertaking. Jen offered references with glowing reviews. My pups were extremely calm when I came home and I can't tell you how appreciative I am to have her take care of them. Jen is such a blessing.
Jen quickly won over our rescue who now looks forward to her daily visits! She has been super responsive and flexible which is exactly what we needed after an autoimmune diagnosis prevented him from attending his usual daycare. He now happily takes her for long meandering walks and she indulges him- what more could a pet parent want? Highly recommend.
Jen is a wonderful house-sitter, pet-sitter, and daily dog-walker for our family! She is great with our energetic dog. She is very dependable, flexible, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!
Our whole family was going on vacation for a week and we had no one to watch our two shih tzus who are incredibly spoiled. Jen came to our house and spent time with them before we left. They adored her. She gave them super amazing care so they weren't lonely or bored while we were gone. She sent me pictures and videos of them every day. I was so comfortable leaving them and never had to worry about them. I will always use her for my dog sitting. She is amazing!
Took great care of our home and cats while we were away. Helped keep my garden watered and performed light house keeping. An absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Jen’s Home & Pet Care. I will definitely use her service again.
Jen’s pet service is caring, warm, and professional. My cat is a rescue and doesn’t take to very many people but she took to Jen. Jen has a natural affinity for loving and caring for pets.
Jenni watched my 2 dogs in my house while I was out if town. She was punctual and kept me updated on their daily activities. Sending pictures and videos. The boys both seemed very content when I got home.
Jen is so friendly and easy going which puts my up tight dog at ease. She has been wonderful to work with!
Fantastic place. The property is beautiful and expansive - there are two large fenced yards, with available shade, for the dogs to play in. All the dogs are well socialized and seem to get along great. Liz and Alex send photos at the end of the day that will make you wish you were a dog at Mindful Paws instead of working all day. Our pit-hound mix arrives home exhausted!
Our dogs love it here! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I like knowing that my pets have space to play during the day and are stimulated. Would definitely recommend!
Our dogs, Cooper and Keeley, love going to Mindful Paws Daycare. When we arrive at Mindful Paws, they can’t wait to get out of the car. They greet the owners with such enthusiasm. The owners take the time to get to know your dog. They are so kind and caring of all the dogs. At the end of the day, we get an email with photos from the day. There are a couple of outside areas for the dogs to run and play, a big inside playroom, and indoor cubbies containing a cot for each dog to use during rest time. It's an outstanding facility! The ease of use of their website makes it a snap to book days, send messages, and see the wonderful photos. Everything is very professional! The dogs have fun and come home ready to relax.
My dog has been to 2 day care sessions and we will definitely be back. When we started to pull up the driveway on her second visit, she immediately recognized where she was and got excited. Alex and Liz are nice, great at communicating, and have a beautiful, safe, and clean property for dogs. They have also answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner. I love that there are multiple fenced yards for the dogs to play in. I love that it’s a limited number of dogs in each play group so the dogs aren’t overcrowded or over stimulated. I love that each dog gets a private area of their own for breaks in between play for rest. I look forward to the updates and photos from the end of each session. They make my day!
Arnie our golden loves going to mindful Paws dog day care. He has a get time there and Liz and Alex take such good care of the dogs . The cool thing is that every time he goes Liz and Alex send pictures of him and his pals. He always has a smile on his face. I would highly recommend Mindful Paw dog daycare. your dog will love it .
Mindful Paws has quickly become a home-away-from-home for our five year old shepherd. By our third visit, she was so excited when we pulled in and saw the staff. She can get overwhelmed with a lot dogs, and Paws always makes sure she has a small group to play in that's a good fit for her and her energy level. Not to mention it is just a beautiful place, too, and everyone's super friendly, professional, and reliable. Very lucky to have this day-care option in the area!
Like many people, we got a puppy in 2020 during the time most everyone was working from home. When it was time to go back to work we knew we needed an option for our now 95lb hound to run, socialize with other dogs and ultimately learn to be confident with more than just our family. Mindful Paws is just what we needed. They are thoughtful, kind, in tune to the dogs and take care of Jerry like he is one of their own. He gets so excited once he realizes where we are going 😂. Love that they have two huge outdoor fenced yards, the indoor play room, schedule rest breaks during the day and even offer nail trims. Thanks Mindful Paws!
As we drove in we were thrilled with the view and the wonderful location. Fresh air, green grass and nice and safe play fields. There is lots of room for the dogs. We brought Charlie to our "meet and greet" with Liz and Shirley. We were very impressed with the facility - its design, the cleanliness, and the overall concept. Of course our 5 month old pup was not on his best behavior but it was clear both women knew what they were doing as Charlie responded to them immediately. What we didn’t realize was how important the time Charlie spends at Mindful Paws is to his growth and socialization. Charlie seems much calmer at home since his weekly visits. It’s easy to go online to their site to book time, communicate with the staff, and see delightful pictures of your dog at play. The only negative thing is when we come to pick up Charlie he doesn’t want to leave.
This was the first time using daycare for my Rottweiler puppy and Mindful Paws is AMAZING! Their hours are perfect for people working out of the area and they send you photos and updates daily. They are a great couple and very nice. Plus my puppy is EXHAUSTED when we get home. Highly recommend
I brought my 8 month old lab puppy to Mindful Paws to give him the opportunity to socialize with other dogs, and, hopefully, use up some of his energy. He had a bad experience with a larger dog as a puppy and was very timid around other dogs. They were great at understanding dog body language and worked with my sweet puppy. He is now much more confident and ready to make friends with the world!!! I highly recommend Mindful Paws for your four-legged family member!
