Lots of Love at Bogart’s Bungalow!
Pet care experience
Woof, fellow dog lover! My name is Cindy and I have owned four-legged friends since I was a little girl. I have just come back to dog-walking after taking a small hiatus to write a book. Over the years, I have been the mommy of a mut, an Afghan, a Shepherd, and two Pomeranians. And now I am the best friend to my best friend, Bogart, who is a loving and kind-hearted rescue. Dogs are our best friends and family members. When you are away from them, they deserve loving attention that they are used to receiving when you are around. I want to be that friend to them so they don't feel left out of all the fun. I work out of my home in Oceanside, have cared for an elderly parent, and love animals. I have 1 Long-Haired Jack Russell (Bogart) and I’m the God-mother to my good friend’s White Lab, Lexi. I look forward to caring for your baby.
Reviews
My dogs are usually nervous to stay at a sitter's place, but when I went to pick them up, they acted like, "Oh, why are you here? I'm having such a good time!" I expected them to be jumping at the door, eager to go home, but they were so content at Cindy's! She followed all my instructions regarding medications, and made time to walk my doggies even though I said that was optional. My younger dog loved cuddling with Cindy, too! Cindy is incredibly sweet and kind to people, too. I noticed this as I messaged her regarding a possible stay for my 2 pooches. She asked thoughtful questions, such as, "Would you mind if..." and "Is it OK if..." She sent me many photos, which reassured me that they were settling in nicely. Because I felt so happy with the boarding experience, I already booked Cindy for another stay!
Cindy and her dog Bogart are amazing. We were so comfortable leaving Charlie with her in her comfortable home, receiving daily updates. Bogart is such a sweet dog and would get along with any dog! She took him for multiple walks a day, followed his schedule, brushed his teeth, etc.. Though he was excited to see us when we picked him up, you could tell he did not want to leave and has very much missed his dog buddy since. Cindy is also super flexible with dropoff/ pickup which is amazing. Highly recommend!
Cindy is so attentive to every detail with regard to Sophie’s care. She’s is great with her and I will definitely use her again!
I was thrilled to find Cindy to walk Sophie. She is responsible and caring, pays attention to detail and is wonderful with Sophie. She communicates well and quickly and I feel totally comfortable with her.

I have a clean house with a fenced-in yard and my adorable Bogart to keep your buddy company. Everyone is allowed on the furniture and on the bed. My own dog is never out of my sight when I’m at home and I make sure yours is watched the same, as well.

Information Cindy M. would like to know about your pet
I am excited to hang out or walk with your baby; any breed, big or small. Walking and visiting all size dogs is great! However, I prefer boarding small dogs only. Please let me know what they like to play with for toys, if they can get treats, or if they like to run or just mosey along. Are they aggressive? I can be a dog whisperer at times, but not quite a miracle worker. If he/she is a biter or has trust issues...tell me, and we can try and work something out. :)
A typical day
I can take your pooch anywhere within a 6-mile radius. If it's just around the neighborhood where they are familiar, or if they like to romp at a park or dog-friendly beach, I am ready to have some fun. Pickup or drop off - no problem. And if they are mellow, aging, or unable to move around much anymore, I will be attentive to their individual needs. They are in good hands! I love capturing them in an awesome photograph! I send tons of pics during my time with your dog. I try to get funny moments and artistic shots for you to keep.
