Pet care experience

Animals know I sincerely love them!

I've been caring for dogs. cats, horses, and birds my whole life. I listen to what your schedule, diet, training, and rewards system is and apply it. You know your pets better than anyone else therefore your pets will get the same love and treatment as you give them. My pet family now consists of two cats, and all your furry and feathery babes. My puppies passed on so now my clients' pets are my pet family. My pet care is ninety-nine percent repeat business, but I am always happy to meet new clients. If you are a previous client trying to help a new client find me, it may be quicker to call Rover at eight eight eight, four five three, seven eight eight nine, and their wonderful support staff should get you to me faster. The cats and dogs here live harmoniously together and we can see their happiness when they arrive! They are always excited to have a wonderful social experience here. I hope to have the opportunity to share a fun-loving, happy and healthy time with your pet!!

Cindy was so gentle with our puppy. She’s very needy and still learning. Cindy took great care to follow our directions and also help our puppy feel comfortable that we weren’t there. I felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I highly recommend Cindy!

Cindy was kind, caring and empathetic to my 2 dogs. She left my house immaculate and the dogs miss her loving kindness. She kept in touch while I was away and sent some photos. Cindy is an awesome dog sitter and I would confidently use her again.

Cindy is a real gem. Parker absolutely loved her, and Cindy sent pics, which was a bonus. We felt very comfortable knowing that Cindy was staying at our house and taking great care of Parker! Will definately use her again. Thanks again Cindy!

Cindy took wonderful care of my skittish senior cat. She is so reliable that even my neighbors remarked about what good care she gave my cat. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Schedule

It is an every day of the year experience. I wake up to them and I get to sleep with them every single day of the year. Many of 'my' pets stay for three weeks and more at one booking.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an 'outdoor living' yard, fenced, and I live outside most of the time while at home. Some animals join me outside most of the time, some choose to be inside.

A typical day

I've done everything from transport pets when owners works long shifts, doggy daycare, Riverside dog-park visits, beach visits, and trips to the dog store just to get puppies out and simulate what they typically do at home, and yes, veterinarian visits too. I have a wonderful team so all pet's needs are met.

I've been doing this a long time, so there are very few surprises! My concerns...always want to make sure there is access if needed (extra key for house sitting- yes, I had an owner once leave town and forget to leave the house keys), directions in case of emergency situations (yes, I have had a hurricane situation and owners were out to sea with no communications, & yes, I've had a 17 year old cat go into liver failure, it happens..., unfortunately, but no surprise is too big to handle professionally and lovingly!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
