I am a full-timer teacher. I am home by 3 and have all afternoon to spend with your pet! Most holidays and summers, I am here! Currently, will be able to start hosting and caring for your pet starting May 1st! If your pet is crate trained, then please bring their crate so they can have their portable space with them. The smell of your home will bring them some comfort. All dogs are fed in separate areas to ensure they all have space to enjoy their meals. If they need a break from one another, my home has multiple levels that can give them time to decompress. My family loves animals and will offer your pet their love and attention. And sometimes, a treat!

I have a fenced yard and lots of places for your pet to run around, if you need to have them for a visit. They can make theirselves cozy by lounging around on the couch or cuddling in bed with me or my son. I can also watch them in their home and spend time with them walking or playing!

All dishes that your pet will need for their care will be washed and left out to dry. I believe that the care of your pet, also mean care for their home.

Information Cindy R. would like to know about your pet

I am open to all pets- I have experience with senior pets, who need extra care and love. Puppies that need lots of attention and stimulation. Cats who need to be fed and sit a safe distances from any human.

A typical day

I love taking walks around the neighborhood! Play lots of game that will stimulate pups mind! Lots of attention and love from both me and my family! Depending on weather, will take pets on a run!

I have been a pet parent and pet lover my whole life. There is never a point where my family or I were without pets. I have been taking care of puppies, cats, elderly pets… and everything in-between!

Cindy was terrific and, when we picked him up, Cozmo was clearly comfortable being at her place. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Cozmo with Cindy again.

Cindy made sure our dog and cat both felt right at home. The picture updates she shared made it clear they were receiving plenty of love and attention!
