Where Dogs Are Treated Like Family
About Me: Dogs have always held a special place in my life. I've been surrounded by them since childhood, and if I could spend every day playing and caring for them, I would happily trade in my day job! Fortunately, I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship. They’re never left alone—except for quick errands or picking up my kids from school, and I’ll always keep you informed if anything comes up that might take longer. I thrive when caring for high-energy, anxious, or especially affectionate dogs who crave human interaction. Whether we're relaxing with a movie or playing outside, I make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Environment & Daily Life My home is a very clean, joyful space! I have two young children, ages 4 and 6, who are gentle, respectful, and very comfortable around dogs. They’ve grown up alongside furry friends and understand when to give a dog space. We live in a house with a large, gated yard that’s perfect for running around and soaking up the sun. During overnight stays, I prioritize daily walks and exercise so your dog goes home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little tired from all the fun! A Few Notes I don’t have breed preferences—all are welcome! I just ask that you let me know in advance if your dog isn’t comfortable around children or other dogs, so we can make the best plan for everyone’s safety and comfort. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where every pup feels like part of the family.

Ratings and reviews
Cindy took wonderful care of my dog! She came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Cindy also sent regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cared, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
I needed someone last minute to watch my best buddy Kado and Cindy stepped up to the plate. She hit a grand slam! She took such good care of him and even sent me updates and pictures! 10/10 recommend! She even showed around inside the house to see where he was gonna be hanging out!
Cindy was amazing! As soon as I reached out for her to pet sit my dogs, she reached out and scheduled a zoom call with me. She asked valid questions and showed me where the dogs will be staying and her backyard. She has everything for dog sitting. You can tell she’s a pro. She has a sunroom with dog cots, and water and food bowls. My dogs pull when walking and she still walked my dogs everyday and gave them tons of love. I really appreciated her messaging me on Thanksgiving asking if they can have turkey before feeding them. Highly recommend.
My dog was happy and content when I picked him up from Cindy. The way my dog Chewy acts when I pick him up is a sign that he received great care or not. If he is happy and calm I know he was well-taken care of.
Cindy took our dogs in at the last minute and we are grateful for it. Her house was dog-friendly, she was regularly sending us pictures and updates, and she was able to give our dogs their medication. They were quite happy when we picked them up. We highly recommend her.
Cindy was very professional and took very good care of our pups! She sent pictures and updates daily! Will definitely use her again!!!

Schedule
Pet care fits beautifully into my daily life and weekly rhythm. Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to weave dog care seamlessly into the day—whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the yard, or quiet cuddle sessions while I work. My little ones are also part of the routine and love engaging with our furry visitors in gentle, respectful ways. Our home is set up to be safe and welcoming, with plenty of space indoors and out to ensure every pup gets both stimulation and relaxation. During overnight stays, I prioritize daily exercise, tailored attention, and consistent updates for pet parents. It’s not just a routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy, bringing joy to my family and peace of mind to dog owners.
