Turning ruff days into pawsome days

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover ever since I was young. As a kid, I was always the first to volunteer to help walk or petsit for neighbors and friends. I loved taking care of all types of animals including dogs, cats, and bunnies! I also volunteered at an animal shelter, helping to walk and feed animals. I now have a furry companion myself - Alfred. Back when I had a busier schedule, I found an amazing dog walker through Rover to help walk him while I was away for work. I am so grateful to have found a trustworthy walker who could give Alfred plenty of exercise, treats, and cuddles while I was at work. Now that I have a more flexible schedule, I would love to help other busy pet-parents care for their furry companions as well!

Cindy was so amazing caring for my cat Olive! We had already confirmed the booking, but a few days before my trip I had to take my cat to the emergency vet. Cindy was flexible and understanding of my concerns before leaving and even had an additional phone call with me to discuss the situation. She sent me detailed updates throughout my trip, giving me peace of mind while I was gone. Will definitely work with her again!

Cindy is an incredible sitter! She provided daily updates and pictures. She was thorough by asking questions to ensure my cat was taken care of! Cindy is my go to person when needing a cat sitter!

Cindy was amazing with our puppy, Cloē. She followed exactly what we needed while we were away for two weeks. We had a note that we shared from our phone and she followed through and even had surprise FaceTimes (as requested, "call us anytime"). My dog seem to have had a really good time with her and didn't come back with bad habits or heavier.. haha was definitely a concern when finding the right sitter. Would definitely hit up Cindy again for my dog :)

After seeing Cindy take care of my dog, I can say she’s is one of the biggest animal lovers ever. She truly cares about their well being at all times. There are things I’d never think of that her care brings to a dog’s day. It’s definitely a unique quality that not everyone has.

I live in an apartment with my dog. Due to limited space, I do not offer boarding or daycare at my apartment. However, I’d be more than happy to do drop-in visits for your pet. I can help feed, refill water. I can also help clean litter box for cats.

Information Cindy L. would like to know about your pet

I ask all pet parents to provide a bit of info about their dog/cat and to let me know if their pets have any preferences, special needs or behaviors I should be aware of.

A typical day

I believe that regular exercise, ample mental stimulation and plenty of love and attention makes a happy, healthy animal! When caring for dogs, I like to play fetch, go for long walks in my neighborhood parks, or do obedience training, depending on you and your pup's preferences. When taking care of cats, I always give them the opportunity to come up to me first. If they’re playful, we’ll play with toys. Or for more cuddly cats I’ll give them plenty of pets and attention.
