Lots of Exercise for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

I am a fur mom to three wonderful pets at home: a Toy Poodle, Bengal cat, and a Japanese Chin. I grew up with the family beagle and calico. I have always loved and felt a special connection with animals. Your pets will get the same love that I shower upon my own. I am extremely organized, punctual, and dependable. As a former middle school teacher, I am able to offer patience in any situation. I adore health and fitness also, so you can be assured that your pet will get lots of exercise! My husband Chris and I function as a team in providing individualized care for each doggy guest. We are able to work with a dog's preference for either males or females to make them feel at ease as quickly as possible in our home, and design a game plan to best meet his or her needs. So far, Chris seems to be quite popular with all our guests! I look forward to nurturing your beloved furry family member! **Please note: We ask all visitors to wear a mask when inside our home for drop-off/pick-up. We are also happy to accommodate drop-off/pick-up out front of our home if no masks are preferred.

We LOVE Cindy! I was lucky enough to find her three years ago and I wouldn’t leave Lucy, our Great Dane, with anyone else. Lucy loves Cindy and her husband, Chris, so much and I can tell she is happy when she is with them. I love Cindy’s constant updates and I can honestly tell that Lucy gets the best care while she is with Cindy. One time we had to use someone else and we were so disappointed, didn’t get a single picture, no update and Lucy seemed scared right when we picked her up. But not with Cindy! Lucy makes this happy turn and jumps around when she k las she is going to Cindy’s.

Looking for a welcoming, loving, positive, healthy, & fun environment for your dog? Then look no further than Cindy & her husband Chris! They're simply the best pet sitters you could find for your fur baby. We used Cindy previously for our sweet rescue labrador, Serena & we were extremely happy with the love & care she & Chris provided. Serena passed away in 2018, & last month, we adopted another rescue labrador, a sweet, fun-loving 1-year-old, named Lalah. We had a 1-week family trip to Florida scheduled just 3 weeks after adopting Lalah & I was pretty apprehensive about leaving her with a pet sitter so soon after bringing her home. However, rather than cancel our trip, we decided to leave our new baby girl with Cindy & Chris & it worked out great! Lalah got plenty of love & exercise (so important for large dogs like labradors) & was able to spend time with Cindy & Chris' dog & cat as well. Cindy provided plenty of detailed updates & precious photos of Lalah during our trip & our family was able to enjoy some quality time with our Florida relatives & some relaxing time on the beach & didn't have to worry about Lalah while we were away. Cindy is kind, professional, flexible, & clearly loves animals, so you can leave your pet with her & you know your fur baby is in very loving & capable hands. We will definitely have Lalah stay with Cindy & Chris again!

I have a completely fenced yard and three pets to keep your pet company. My husband and I are always home (or make sure at least one of us is) in all situations so there is constant supervision for all interactions.

Information Cindy D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. As a pet parent of one very anxious pup, I am always keenly aware of how best to interact with any dog who may need a little extra patience or support. In addition, I have a very senior cat. Although she is just as wild as ever, she has had a couple health challenges recently, and we are very conscious about trying to keep her stress levels low. If your pup has a strong prey drive or a history of chasing cats, we are unable to accommodate a visit at this time.

A typical day

I have a wonderful walking trail right behind my house that I use daily. There is a lovely creek, and lots of wildlife to look at such as egrets, turkeys, lizards, rabbits, squirrels, and quail. We also have a billion toys for non-stop fun! And with your permission, we also love to share lots of unique and yummy single-ingredient treats like antelope meat, baby octopus, lamb fries, and wild boar (from our fave treat companies Wild 'n Fresh Treats and WilderBites).

Availability

There is always someone home with your pet during the week and on weekends. We divide up any errands that need to be completed outside the home so that one person is always with our doggy guests. In the rare event that we need to leave your pups alone for any period of time, we will notify you and separate my dogs from yours to avoid any unsupervised interactions.
