“She was great! Extremely helpful and had great communication. She went the extra mile and provided us with a peace of mind knowing the pups were in good hands. Thank you so much Cynthia!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I work during the week at a dental office, so sometimes I can make it back during lunch, but it really depends on traffic. My fiancé usually gets home first, so he lets your pet out, makes sure they have fresh water, and gives them a treat. After that, we feed them dinner, spend time playing and cuddling. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
About: I will provide playtime, exercise, and companionship to your pet in a safe environment. Relax and feel confident that your baby is being treated like family in my home. I offer round the clock care. Someone is always home to rub a belly or take a walk. Hit me up and let's get started. I have a fenced in front and backyard. 24 hours a day comfort care and security. Rest easy knowing your baby is well cared for.
“Wendy took care of my cats while I was away for two weeks! She did amazing and even kept in contact with me through the hurricane to let me know how the cats and the house was doing. Cats seemed happy and I definitely appreciated having Wendy to check in on them.”

About: in my family circle when it comes to their pet sitting needs, I am always the go to. Caregiving is my specialty. I will always treat all animals as if they were my own. I work part time, and I’m also a full time college student so I don’t have all the availability in the world, but I still have room for it here and there!! I care for my own pet daily and often times pitch in for other pet owners here and there when it is needed. I have compassion for all animals and their unique situations. I will safely follow all instructions and make sure any and all pets are in a safe and secure environment to the extent of my ability.
About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals. We both work weekdays from 8 AM to 3:30 PM (and until 12 PM on Fridays), so we’re available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Our flexible schedule lets us give pets the attention and consistency they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, check-ins, or overnight care. Whether in our home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. My husband and I follow routines carefully, give lots of love, and let pets adjust at their own pace. We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.

It is something I am just used to now. We have a daily routine, and then throughout the week I will take my dogs out in public with us at least twice to practice more training.
