Mindful Minder House & Pet Sitting

12/29/2024

☀️Good Morning all!☀️

I just want to start this post off by saying how truly thankful and grateful I am for each and every person who has used Mindful Minder’s services over the past 5 years. I may not have had an official name or business until a couple of years ago but this little thing I created, flourishing before my eyes was the best thing I could’ve ever asked for!

I took this past year (2024) off to build myself back up, and quite a few other things, but God has had many other plans for my life this year!

With that being said, it’s with true sadness, but also excitement for what’s next, to announce that I will NOT be continuing my journey with Mindful Minder House & Pet Sitting and I will be permanently shutting down my business.

These past 5 years have been absolutely incredible and all of the new friends I’ve made along the way I will carry with me all my life! But as of this year, I moved into a new home where I am only a rock throw away from my full time job, my schedule changed with my job and I’m working more hours now, and I have also really enjoyed my time with family and friends! And after careful thought and consideration, it would simply be unfair to continue this business and not be able to give my full attention to it!

💜So with all that, to all 313 followers this page has gained in its short time, to all friends and family. I say thank you and God Bless you! This page will remain up for the sake of memories but you’re welcome to unfollow if you’d like. I love you all!💜

🚨🚨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 ❤️
