Pet care experience

I will care for your doggie w/love!

I have had dogs all my life, and have a sweet malti-poo who loves all kinds of other dogs. I am a stay at home retired mom and will care and love your dog just as my own. Since I am retired I will attend to the dogs throughout the day and night so they are not left alone. I take my dog on walks many times of the day and can be flexible with your dog's schedule.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 09, 2025

Cindy M was warm and friendly to us and our dog. She took her on a couple of walks, and had 2 nice dogs at her place for our dog to interact with. She lives in a good neighborhood and we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her.

Cindy was such an amazing sitter for my pup! I got updates throughout the day with lots of photos and Cindy was super responsive to any questions. Pika looked like a very happy dog when I picked her up - I would definitely rebook with Cindy!

There isn't someone more dedicated to the care of your pet than Cindy. Reuben was "adopted" by her whole family for two weeks, and I never had a moment of concern. We received regular updates and photos. Reuben had regular walks and exercise. He even got to play with other dogs. I only hope she's available when I need her again in the future!

We love Cindy! Our dog Jellybean always comes back happy, and Cindy has been so kind and patient—especially since Jellybean is usually shy at first. Cindy made her feel comfortable from the first meet and greet, and now she looks forward to her walks and daycare visits. Cindy is very accommodating and flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and always keeps us updated with photos during daycare 💜

Schedule

I'm currently retired and home all day as is my husband, so I can walk and care for dogs anytime unless I am traveling. Usually I don't have other activities except for caring for my own dog, so I give lots of exercise, playtime, rest and cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

I am in an apartment but walk dogs frequently and there are parks and trails all around my area as well as fenced dog parks. I usually start the day with a longer morning walk, then add a lunchtime walk and/or an evening walk and end the day with a last quick walk before getting ready for bed. If dogs are used to crates, I have two crates that they are welcome to utilize if they feel safe that way or if it is part of their regular sleep routine. I also will sleep with dogs if that is what they are used to, I have a large couch that turns into a queen size bed and I frequently sleep in the living room with dogs, as I want them to feel at home with me and do similar things they are accustomed to at their own homes. I always try and keep my energy very calm and non-reactive with dogs, praising with treats and cuddles for good behavior whenever possible. I want every dog I watch to feel secure, safe and loved.

Pets

A typical day

We often go to the dog park nearby to run, play and meet other dogs. During the daytime we take one long walk in the morning and several shorter walks throughout the day and evening. My living room is a open area where the dogs can be comfortable to play or lounge and rest. I have lots of balls and dog toys for play and will keep a close eye on them at all times.

Please let me know what your pet is accustomed to and if they have any special needs as far as feeding, sleeping and playing with other dogs or children. Some dogs sleep better in crates, on a bed or on their own cushions, and I can be flexible with all of those. Also, please let me know of any allergies or food sensitivities, I give only approved snacks that you are okay with. I never give table food and would not leave any food out that would harm them.
