About

Who is Pet Minders?

We only hire pet sitters that have shown a life-long interest in pets and their well-being. Our pet sitters completed obedience classes with their own dogs, and so can better understand your dog’s mental needs as well as their basic physical needs.  They all have cat experience as well, so can interpret what your cat is communicating by the swish of their tail.  We only hire the best!

Testimonials

"I first got to know Leslie Soden because we both have Poodles. We talked at different dog shows and developed a friendship based on our common interests. When you spend a weekend visiting and talking about your dogs and discussing training issues you get a good insight into that person and can see how they treat their own dogs. Based on the years we have known each other, I would trust Leslie with the care of my Poodles and would highly recommend her for any of the services she is offering."
