Safety, trust & environment

I can crate, double to triple long walks per day, give lots of attention to them when needed, and teach basic easy tricks if you want me to(sit, paw, wait, etc) to stimulate the dog's activity.

Information Cindy R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is on any medication, has any allergies, what kind of treats they can eat or what to avoid, and the distance they are able to walk. If there is anything that you think is very important for me to know about your dog, even if it's something small, I would like to know.

A typical day

I typically will do a walk around the neighborhood, go on a walking trail, and do basic training with toys and treats to stimulate brain activity.

Pet care experience

I treat dogs and cats with lots of love and give them lots of attention. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 13. My duties were walking, bathing, feeding, and had watched dogs as an overnight dog sitter while my friends or family were away. I had taken care of English mastiffs to Yorkshire terriers to Aussies to boxers. These are some of the types of breeds and sizes I have watched and cared for. I have puppy experience as I adopted a dog when he was 9 weeks old and trained/cared for him as he grew up. I also have experience in senior dogs as a family member had an 8-year-old mastiff who I took care of for 3 years. I have done and still do cat sitting on occasion. Each of the dogs and cats I looked after, we become best paw friends.

Cindy went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She kept my dog safe and I didn’t worry at all.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
