Pet care experience

Fun & Loves Awaits Your Dog

With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home!

Cindy took such great care of my sweet doggie! She provided me with updates and pictures often! Cody loved being there. I definitely plan to use her again for Cody. Thank you Cindy so much!

Cindy and her family are wonderful. They went above and beyond while taking spectacular care of our 2 dogs. It was the longest family trip we ever went on but Cindy’s regular updates made us feel at ease knowing our dogs were well looked after. Would absolutely recommend them and would book again!

Cindy was absolutely amazing! Her and her family took such great care of our pups. This was the first time I’ve left our fur babies with anyone that wasn’t family and I will absolutely be contacting her again to watch our pups. Her attention to detail and passion for animals showed through every part of this experience. One of our dogs has epilepsy which made me nervous to leave him but she was on top of giving him his medication and both pups had an awesome experience staying with her. I would highly recommend her!

Cindy was really great with my dog, Snowflake, a 14 year old Yorkie. We had a phone call beforehand to discuss feeding/walking schedules and general questions. During snowflake's stay, Cindy sent photos and updates and was extremely responsive to any questions. Snowflake seemed to be in good hands with Cindy and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again

Cindy and her family were so easy to work with and took great care of Pippa while I was away for a few days. She provided consistent updates and was very flexible on scheduling drop off/pickup. Pippa came home happy and tired!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

A typical day

We love keeping pets happy, active, and entertained! Depending on your pet’s energy level and personality, we’ll go on scenic walks along the Yonkers waterfront, play fetch or tug-of-war in our backyard, or have indoor play sessions with toys and puzzles. For cuddle bugs, there’s always time for snuggles and cozy naps. My son especially enjoys playing with our doggie guests and making sure they feel loved and engaged. We tailor activities to each pet so they feel right at home and have fun during their stay!

It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs. This includes things like their feeding schedule, medical conditions or medications, how they get along with other pets or kids, and any fears or triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety). I also like to know their favorite activities, comfort items, and any training or behavior quirks—so I can make their stay as comfortable and personalized as possible. The more I know, the better I can care for them like they’re one of our own!
