Dependable, loving pet care

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets for many years! I’ve always felt very much in tune with animals, and have cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, ducks, fish, Guinea pigs and turtles. My own pets have had many special needs, including ongoing medical issues and have taken daily medications. I am a pro at pet grooming; I’m willing to do nail trims (if you hold your pet and muzzle if necessary), and am open to bathing (see additional fees). I am also happy to take your dog on walks! In regard to cat care, I am willing to help with feeding and keeping the cat litter box clean, if your baby is a feline 💕

Let me preface this to say that I have a very difficult cat that doesn't like people very much, and lets everybody she meets know exactly how she feels.... Cindy took excellent care of my monster cat for over 2 weeks while I was away in 2019. While we usually only ask that Reese's basic needs are met, Cindy went above and beyond to make sure she had some enrichment too - coaxing her out from hiding to play with the laser or her mouse toys. We received great updates about each visit, and even got some pictures of Reese when she was in a playful mood. I would highly recommend Cindy as a pet-sitter - she's thorough, caring and just adores animals!

Cindy has taken care of my cats on multiple occasions, and I wouldn’t want anyone else caring for them! She is truly one of the most caring people i know and my cats love her too!

My cat stayed with Cindy for a few days and I couldn’t be more happy with my cat’s care. Cindy sent me frequent updates and pictures. My cat, Winnie, was taken such good care of and got all the care and attention.

Cindy has always been so good with animals. Compassionate, patient, reliable and responsible. I have never had to worry when she has taken care of my dogs. Fully trusted her with my babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I am always careful when dog walking, and am happy to do this with your pet as long as they are not big pullers. I am willing to work with you on how you need your pet cared for! I know what it’s like to have to leave your baby and do what needs done outside of the home. I will do my very best to help you feel at ease while you are not with your trusting little family members 💗

Information Cindy K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs or struggles with behavior, as I will do my best to accommodate them! Also, I prefer that your pet is up to date on vaccinations, if you would provide a glimpse at your vaccination record? It would be great for you to advise on a feeding schedule and approximate times for potty breaks so that life for them will be as close to normal as possible.

A typical day

I enjoy playing fetch with dogs and walking them for their entertainment! (Please see fees for walking) I like cats also, very much, and will try entertaining them if they enjoy that. I have had cats on and off all through my life. A family member’s feline enjoys playing ‘fetch’ ?; I am happy to try this with your cat!
