Pet care experience

While new to Rover, I bring decades of real-life experience caring for both animals and homes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how unique each animal’s personality can be—from playful and social to more independent, shy or sensitive. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe and respected and I take time to read their cues and build trust at their pace. I’m comfortable supporting puppies, adult and senior pets, as well as special-needs animals, including administering medication and offering gentle, attentive care. With a calm, grounded presence, I help pets feel at ease while keeping their routines consistent in their own familiar space. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care, and I bring a reliable, respectful and detail-oriented approach—so both you and your furry-friend can feel comfortable and at ease.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Cindy. She recently looked after our 8-month-old puppy, Lily Anne, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we met Cindy, her extensive background in dog training gave us complete confidence that Lily Anne was in exceptional hands. It was clear that Cindy didn’t just provide pet sitting—she provided expert care, structure, and guidance tailored to a young puppy’s needs. When we returned home, we were greeted by a happy, healthy, well-exercised, and noticeably better-behaved puppy. Lily Anne clearly received plenty of love, attention, and consistent training while we were away. It was obvious that Cindy treated her as if she were her own. As an added bonus, we came home to a spotless house. Everything was immaculate, allowing us to relax and simply enjoy being reunited with Lily Anne. Cindy’s professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for dogs truly set her apart. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding pet care. Lily Anne absolutely adored her, and we will definitely be booking with Cindy again in the future.

I have known Cindy Walker for well over 20 years and can confidently attest to her integrity, reliability, kindness and just the fact that she is an overall amazing and loving human being. In both her personal and professional life, Cindy consistently demonstrates honesty, responsibility and respect for others. Her home has always been loved and well cared for. It is always tidy and welcoming, a reflection of her nature to always bring care, attention and love to everything she does. Cindy is someone I trust completely with my fur baby and believe me that is not something | do often as he is my life, and I don't trust many with him. I have never hesitated to ask her to be my dog Sam's guardian when the need arises because I know she will care for him as I would. I believe Cindy would make an excellent house and pet sitter. I can not speak highly enough of her as someone who is overqualified in the department of trustworthiness and dependability. I wholeheartedly recommend her for this opportunity.

Cindy provided safe, loving care for Brew when she dog sat for me. She has a warm, caring nature that makes both people and pets feel comfortable and cared for. Cindy is the type of person who goes the extra mile, communicates well, and treats animals like family, which would make for excellent customer service and peace of mind while Brew is in her care. What makes Cindy an awesome human being is her compassion, reliability, and the way she makes those around her feel supported and valued.
