Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!

Information Cindy H. would like to know about your pet

If your loved one has diet restrictions, physical limitations or other special needs, please let me know and I will tailor my style to their needs. I’d also like to know which activities they most enjoy.

A typical day

Dog walks with me are at least 20 minutes (unless you request otherwise), but I believe every pet is unique—what they need most comes down to who they are. I take the time to interact and get to know them. This allows me to tailor our time together to their personality and preferences. I’m a pro at fetch (with a mean pitch!) and can send a frisbee soaring, earning me some serious street cred in Giggsy’s world! But if your pup craves gentle snuggles or a good scratch instead, I’m just as happy to shower them with that kind of love. I’ve even been known to take them out for pup cups with the parent’s permission, of course. It’s all about what makes them happiest—because understanding your pet is how I care for them best.

Providing TLC 🐾🐾

Pet care experience

One of the hardest things to do is trust someone to care for your pet, to make them feel safe, and treat them as family members while you’re away. That is the care I strive for with every visit! Because being away from your hoomans can feel uncertain, I provide extra play time and extra love. I also clean up their messes—if there are any, and I’m happy to help with the occasional chore when you have to be away for more than a couple of days! I am also committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care and companionship. I provide clear communication, pictures of your babies with each visit. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress.

Cindy was reliable, responsive and took good care of our house full of cats while we were away. She sent pics and updates and even did a few dishes that were in the sink. We would have her sit again. Thanks Cindy!
