Pet care experience
I have two cats and a dog (golden retriever) myself, and before that have been boarding and petsitting for >8 years. I single-handedly raised my cats and dog from when they were babies to the calm (finally) adults they are today, and am experienced in handling both puppies and kittens. I’ve boarded and taken care of a variety of dogs—from a senior Pomeranian who was blind and deaf and had to be held 24/7 to a very high-energy high-strung Australian cattle dog / border collie mix, I am confident taking care of all kinds of dogs and can handle medicine, senior needs, anxious pups, and more. I absolutely love animals (hence the three babies of my own), and will love your pets just as much. I’m a firm believer in force-free and loving training. I personally take my dog out for hours of walking and off-leash time everyday, and have travelled with him from NYC to Austin to Utah to SF. Your pets will be in safe hands.

Cindy is one of the most caring and patient pet owners I know. She has loved animals all her life and it's shown in the way she cares for her animals
Cindy's the best pet parent I've ever met. She's thoughtful and communicative, and will always have your pets' best interests in mind. She treats all dogs and cats with immense kindness and empathy.

Because I have multiple animals, I don’t offer home boarding. I am happy to drop in to your apartment or stay there overnight instead. I take my dog out for long hikes everyday so if your dog is friendly with other dogs, I’m happy taking your dog out alongside mine. Otherwise I can take your dog out separately too.
Information Cindy G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special dietary restrictions and medical needs. Also let me know what the their typical day looks like so I can give an appropriate amount of enrichment and exercise that resembles their typical day.
A typical day
I make sure all my animals have sufficient physical and mental enrichment. I’m a big believer in off-leash running for dogs and like to give them 30-60 minutes of monitored off-leash fun everyday. Beyond that, I also include 30-60 minutes of structured on-leash walks with lots of sniffing opportunities. For mental enrichment, I like using lick bowls and puzzles for fun times indoors. I have lots of experience with high-energy breeds and have a high-energy dog myself, so am confident your dog will have lots of fun and enrichment.
