Safety, trust & environment

I'm also very focused on keeping your pet healthy and feeling good - I don't have a fenced in yard but I live right across the street from a park, where I take the dogs to walk. They are always on a leash and looked out for. I have a tall baby gate blocking the front door so there are no escape artists and I make sure to have anything put away that they might get into that could harm them. When I walk your dog I'm on constant look out for anything that could become an issue. I'm very aware of stray cats and squirrels. Lol I'm one of those crazy dog Mom's that makes sure my dog/dogs are ok and accounted for. Every animal has their own personality and quirks...they go through the same emotions we do; love, excitement, happiness, fear, jealousy, anxiety, loneliness, boredom. My goal is to make your pet the happiest and most comfortable I can while you're away. : )

Information Cici C. would like to know about your pet

I love to do meet and greets before the actual date of service. I like to know what your dogs habits are, if they have any food/toy aggression, any special needs, if they have sensitive tummy's, their potty schedule and where they like to sleep.

A typical day

I love to go on walks down the boardwalk, at the park or downtown. I actually love to run and got my dog Zoey thinking she would run with me but she's happier on the couch, so if your dog's a runner, I would love to do that with them. No more than 3 miles. : )

I will treat your baby like my own.

Pet care experience

I love animals! I've been a pet owner my whole life and currently have a dog (a Whippet named Zoey). She is sweet, playful, gentle and loves having other doggy friends over to keep her company. I have over 30 years of experience with dogs/cats and have been on Rover for 7 years. I have watched all kinds of dogs from seniors to high anxiety to special needs. I work from home so I'm flexible and can give them all of the love and attention they need. I also send pictures and videos so you can see how your baby is doing.

Cici has been taking care of my dog, Oso, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provides. Oso is always so excited to go to her house and see all of his dog friends, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I have to leave him.
