Ratings and reviews
I felt very positive with my overall experience with Cindy. She really cares about understanding each individual animal she works with and their social dynamics. She's also just a honestly good hearted person.
The review would have been no stars but I didn't get that option. Cindy seems to be a very nice person but she should not be doing petsitting in her house. When we arrived to pick up Tess, Cindy informed us that her Rottweiler had bitten Tess, without provocation. We didn't know about the Rottweiler until we dropped Tess off, and had no choice but to leave her or I'd miss my post-surgery check-up. As my vet said, nobody with a Rottweiler should be have strange dogs in the house. I now have a vet bill as a souvenir of the visit.
Cindy is absolutely wonderful! I appreciate how she makes Ophelia feel at home and takes her out to play and walk. It’s a relief knowing that she is in good hands 😊
Juno is always so chilled and relaxed after a stay with Juno. She loves all of the fun outside 😍
Cindy is amazing with all animals, we have dropped off our dog Stevie numerous times and she is well taken care of and had a blast with Cindy and her dog. I love that I can leave and never worry! Amazing
Cindy has been an amazing sitter for Tyr. She is very aware of his interactions…how he’s changing and developing, good habits and bad which she very happily helps me address. He is so happy to be dropped off with her and spend the day or a few days as a part of her family. We know he is in great hands and that he’ll return smiling -and exhausted !:) We would highly recommend Cindy .

I take care of your dogs in my home as if they were my own. That is what I do. There are some days that I am not available due to other plans.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced field where dogs can run and play. They live inside my home with me. I have dog beds and open crates where they can rest during the day. During the night or when I must be out of the house the dogs will be in their crates. This is for everyone safety.
Pets
A typical day
* A game of tug with long ropes or long sticks is great fun for those that enjoy a good game of "Tug". * We also have a "Tether Tug". (A tug rope on a flexible pole) For those that want to play tug when there's no one else at the other end of the rope! * A "Chuck-it" sends a ball to the end of the field so guests get to run as fast as they can to retrieve it. * We have a light up ball that is a favorite to fetch after dark, along with a light up frisbee. * We have treasure hunts with small dried meat treats (just meat) that get thrown around the field so guests can use their doggie skills to find the treasures... they get to eat all that they find. * We have various beds to choose from, but most guests choose an open crate to relax in when we come inside. * Summer heat is cooled by splashing, playing or just laying in a large pool or relaxing in the house in the AC . * I also offer training. I use positive reinforcement, including Clicker Training.
