Mindful Minder House & Pet Sitting

🚨🚨WARNING! GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW! Excuse the language!🚨🚨

DANVILLE, RINGGOLD, SOUTH BOSTON people BEWARE!!

DO NOT allow Brayla (Bray) Sparks with Spark N Bark Pet Sitting Services to EVER watch your animals! LOOK BELOW to what she’s done to her very own!😡😡😡

She poses as a “good and loyal person with a wonderful business” BUT SHE IS ANYTHING BUT!! If you come across her, whether by her name or if she starts up a new business under a different name STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!! She needs to be put behind bars! This is despicable!

🚨 Animal Control has been after her and I HOPE the police are too! She has BEGGED her followers for money for “bills” and “groceries” in now deleted posts (but there are screenshots from people) on her business page, when in reality she’s wanted it all for drugs!🚨

PLEASE share this post and spread the word!

As this year comes to a close. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate each and every person who has allowed me to take care of their precious babies this year!

It truly means so much to me knowing that so many people pick me ❤️

For 2024, I look forward to resting and rejuvenating even though I am really gonna miss all my babies! But I have big plans for Mindful Minder but I need time to get things in order which is why I am taking the year off!

Soon I will be posting about 2 possible job positions needing to be filled within this business so keep an eye out!

I wish you all a Happy New Year and wish you nothing but the best for 2024! And I hope that when I come back into this that you all will find your way back to me!

Much love!❤️

🚨🚨PLEASE READ🚨 🚨

I write this with tears in my eyes, partly from sadness and some from relief.

I have been thinking for a couple of months now, and I have made a very hard decision to close the doors of Mindful Minder House & Pet Sitting for the year of 2024. I will not be accepting any house or pet sitting stays for 2024. I know this can really damage my clientele taking this much time off, but I pray you can find your way back to me in a year!

Many of you don’t know this, but I’ve been house sitting alone since 2019 and though these last 4 years have been truly incredible and I’ve met so many new people and animals, I have to be honest I am exhausted. It’s incredibly hard running this business alone, on top of a full time job, and trying to have time for my own family and vacations.

I have burned myself out beyond my limit and the last thing that I want to do is let myself get to a point where I despise this business.

One thing during 2024 that I’d like to do for this business, is I will be looking for help, preferably 2-3 reliable people who have the time, energy, and know how, to come on board to help me, I will also be working on getting my LLC for this business! I will also be working on a better way fo schedule clients.

I have dreams and plans for Mindful Minder but I cannot do it alone. But I am afraid that if within the year I cannot find help, I will have no choice but to shrink my radius of where I can service. I would no longer be able to service any area EXCEPT for Martinsville, Collinsville, Henry, Bassett and Ridgeway, as other areas are too far.

As for the rest of this year, I will still be fulfilling my duties for this business and I am still accepting stays, but effective 01/01/2024 Mindful Minder House & Pet Sitting will be closed until 01/01/2025.

I am so incredibly sorry to all of you but I truly hope you can understand! I’m doing the best I can! I just need one year, I need to revamp and fall back in love with this business, and I need a few helping hands!

With Love, Tears, and Apologies
-Erica ❤️

Introducing to you. Mindful Minder’s new logo!

This logo means the world to me as for the longest time I’ve wanted to incorporate my very first “client” into it which happened to be Maxie 🥺

And with great thanks to Unique Memories & Gifts for their dedication and hard work for me, Mindful Minder will forever honor Maxie who passed away a little over 2 weeks ago. A huge thank you to Dana Richelle Eames Williams who was Maxie’s owner for approving this logo, I am honored and blessed to have this sweet girl as the face of this business! She will forever be missed but will live on as long as this business does!

More branding changes to come! But this is it for now! ❤️❤️❤️

I am either booked up, holding spots, or taking vacation/recouping time! So sorry for any inconveniences but I do have some of October open and then November and December open as well!

Thank y’all so much!!!❤️

Today is a heart breaking day.😭

Sweet Maxie crossed the rainbow bridge this morning and is now with Jesus. My heart goes out to you Dana Richelle Eames Williams and your family during this time.

For those who don’t know. This sweet loving girl was my first “client” about 3-4 years ago. Maxie is and was my inspiration to start this journey of Mindful Minder. My love for her only grew over the years and every second I got to spend with her was filled with love, happiness, snuggles, and laughs! ❤️This girl was a true fighter, never letting any of her health problems bring her down and took everything like a true champion.💪🏻

This one hurts, but I know you’re feeling much better now sweet Maxie! I loved you like my own babies and I still love you!

Rest in Peace Maxie

Hey y’all! 🐶🐱

Just wanted to say that I am NOT accepting anymore stays for the month of SEPTEMBER 😊 Reason being I am pretty booked up for that month and it is going to be a busy month for myself personally! I really appreciate y’all!

🐾Half of October, and all of November and December are available unless I have days marked off on my Vacation/Holiday Schedule which is pinned at the top of this page! 😁

🐾Let me know if you need someone to watch your fur babies or just your home in general!

🐾Below is what I offer, and there will be an agreement form needing to be signed by each party (myself and you) during a home-visit before the stay If you choose not to sign the form I will have no choice but to cancel the stay. As I cannot allow the safety of myself or an animal to come into question.

🚨Also I no longer offer dog-walking. It just didn’t take off the way I thought. Sorry!🚨 Any questions or comments please let me know on here or if you have my number you can text me. 

Pictures are supposed to say Minder not Minded 🤦🏻‍♀️
