Unconditional Love!!!

I am very attentive and will do everything in my power to spoil them all! I’ve been accused of paying attention to my pets more than I have anyone else. 😊 I’ve trained dogs for years and in doing so, I learned to have a lot of patience. I lost my best friend, Rosco, a standard-size Yorkshire Terrier at 16 years old, 9 years ago. My heartbreak for him is just as strong as it was on his last day. My remedy is to devote my spare time, giving time and tons of attention to other dogs. In doing so, it would give me great pleasure and help me fill that void from my loss. Leaving your pets with people you are not familiar with can be very stressful. Please know that you can trust me in giving them the best care you can ask for in your absence. I am very hands-on and will give a lot of one-on-one time. Also, know that I will reach out to you while you are away via text with photos and give you updates on how well things are going.

Cindy S. as advertised and beyond. Cindy kept me updated everyday with pictures. Took care of medications and was always responsive. This was the first time my dog was away from the family in a long time and we were very worried. Cindy helped take away that worry. This is a high recommendation for her services. Worth every penny. Thank you Cindy for taking care of our loved one when we could not.

Doggy Day Care • ago. 18, 2024

We were in Kansas City for the weekend for a game and had Cindy watch our dog, Opie. She was so wonderful. He was well taken care of and completely spoiled with her. He was a very happy boy when we picked him up.

Cindy watched my dog Margot while I was out of town over a long weekend. It was a last minute ask, and I was so grateful she was able to help out. Cindy was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She sent me pictures and a very detailed update on how Margot was doing. Margot looked so happy with Cindy when I picked her up at the end of the weekend. I would highly recommend Cindy.

House Sitting • feb. 25, 2023

We have 2 senior dogs who can’t be left home alone. Cindy was the first person we ever used to watch the dogs and I was nervous about leaving them with a stranger. She put us and the dogs at ease right away. We were only gone a short time but the dogs were both relaxed and sleeping when we got home. We will be using Cindy again!

Cindy is truly an animal lover. She was watching our dog, Murphy, as a puppy, up until his passing 7 years ago. He would practically tear the door down as soon as he saw her car out the window. He was so excited to see her. As soon as she entered inside he would spin around and bark with excitement. She even taught him to sit and stay on command. She walked him and also bathed him when needed . They had a beautiful relationship

Exceptional care! Treated my dog like a princess. My dog loves her and I trust that she is in goods hands with Cindy. I will use her again to watch my dog.

Schedule

I have reached early retirement and would love the company of small, crate- and potty-trained dogs who desire a lot of care, love and attention.

Where your pet will stay

No children present
Dogs allowed on bed

Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I live on the first floor of an apartment in a one-bedroom apartment that is a bit small to care for large dogs, so I will offer to keep the smaller dogs for 1-4 days, nights, overnights, or weekends. I am also available to stay in your home.

A typical day

I like to frequent dog parks to allow them to socialize with other animals if that would be acceptable during our time together. Otherwise, I will walk them locally.

0 to 15 lbs
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Cindy can host up to 1 pet per night
I prefer dogs that aren't super hyper and require a lot of exercise. I prefer lapdogs in the 5-15 Lb range due to the size of my apartment.
