Pet care experience

Predictively the Best Care

I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy.

This is our second year having Cindy care for our cats while we were away, and she was wonderful again! She’s reliable, communicative, and takes great care of them. She even watered my plants while we were gone without me asking, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It’s a relief knowing everything at home is in good hands with Cindy. We will absolutely book her again!

Cindy is absolutely amazing! She sends daily updates and multiple pictures, which put our minds at ease. We hate to leave our fur babies, but when we do, we can't think of a better place for our dogs. They get multiple walks per day and lots of cuddle time. The only problem is that I don't think they want to leave Cindy's because they have so much fun!

Cindy is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had. She took care of Copper like one of her own! Walked him several times per day even though they were very short walks because of his old age. She was communicative and easy to worth with. I also love the fact that she didn’t have a lot of other animals since that can overwhelm my dog. I would recommend her to anyone! 🧡

Many pictures, lots of love. Cindy was able to meet my needs in an emergency. I'm glad. As all trips now to Pittsburgh if she is available, will be booked with her as she is wonderful. Highly rec.

I have used rover for over a decade at this point, dog and cat sit on Rover myself, and I was so genuinely impressed and surprised with the courtesy and compassion Cindy brought to helping last minute with our cat, Milo. It was probably the least stressed I’ve seen him after being away and this was the longer trip and his first alone after our dogs passed. She was incredibly flexible, understood the chaos of traveling and having things go well just horribly and even brought a charging box for our Furbo when it somehow got packed. Will book again and highly highly recommend, thank you so much Cindy!

Nala had a wonderful stay with Cindy! Nala is a very anxious 12 year old rescue. She had a great time! Cindy is very kind & patient & took Nala for several walks and updated us with pictures of how Nala was doing during her stay. Nala even ate some food (usually when she is away she doesn’t eat a thing! ) I would not hesitate to book Cindy again!

Schedule

I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air!

Safety, trust & environment

Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.

A typical day

I walk dogs typically three times a day and the length and speed of the walk depends on the energy of the individual dog. They can range from slow and short to an impressive hilly and long walk. I will take dogs to a local dog park if the owner feels comfortable for social time. I love to take the pups for a walk to get a little pup cup of ice cream or whipped cream with owner approval. I will play catch inside and outside with a long lead in a local park. With cats, I have a fish on a stick to play with.
