Fenced Yard • 1–2 Dogs Only
Hi! I’m a dog lover living in a single-family home with a fully fenced backyard, where dogs can enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time in a home-like environment. ○ 🐶 I have a friendly Shiba Inu who genuinely loves having other furry friends. He has a playful personality, and will try engage your dog in a play so it’s better your dog are friendly with other dogs, and okay with playing. ○ 🍖 I make small-batch, single-ingredient dehydrated treats using human-grade meats for my own dog, and I’m happy to share them with your dog upon request. ○ 🍖On weekends, we can also offer fresh meal for free and enrichment toys. I gave my dog fresh meals weekends so we can offer yours along if that's fine w/ you. (My dog hates veggies so I blend with meat following guidance on protein/carbs/fiber ratio) ○ ⚠️ While we‘re mostly home, we do commute to office 2 days a week. This setting works best for dogs who are comfortable being left alone during the day without severe separation anxiety (potty indoors, excessive barking or destructive behaviors). ○ 🦮Dogs are also be let out to backyard multiple times throughout the day and I usually also provide daily walk of 30mins. ○ 🐕 Except for holidays, I usually host only one guest dogs at a time, so each dog receives focused attention and enrichment activity in a predictable and clean environment. ○ 💤Guest dogs should be comfortable sleeping through the night without overnight potty needs or persistent barking/whining, so everyone can rest well. ○ 🚽 we generally wake up 9:30am so the earliest potty break we can give during the day is 9:00am ○ ⚠️ We are not equipped to handle dogs with with aggressive behaviors or to provide high-maintenance medical care. We appreciate your consideration. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, but it’s also important to me that both dogs and humans feel relaxed, comfortable and predicable. So we ask that guest dogs to be comfortable sharing space, joining daily walks if needs be walked, and sleeping through the night without disruption. My goal is to provide a predictable environmental setting, and thoughtful care — so you can travel with confidence, knowing your dog is safe and happy. ✈️ Please do note we only take dogs under < 70 lbs only but ofc we can accommodate gentle giants with good manners 😊 . Appreciate your consideration. You will be sent updates and photos of your guy when boarding. If you prefer very frequent or less frequent updates, please let us know. We are very flexible and understand that life is full of surprises, so if your flight is delayed or you hit traffic, we will always be happy to accommodate and adjust!

Ratings and reviews
Cindy was great at updating us throughout the trip! She really made our pets feel loved and included in her home


I’m very satisfied with Cindy. Her space is clean and spacious. We brought our own crate and blanket but she also prepared one set for us. She took pictures and videos during the day so it was easier for us to check Poppy’s (our dog) condition. Our dog bonded with her family very quickly. Cindy baked some fresh snacks for Poppy. She even packed some Poppy’s favorite food for us to take home. If you are looking for a sitter who truly loves dog, Cindy is your No. 1 choice.

Cooper had a great time...definitely a repeat!

We booked with Cindy for the first time. I was very impressed with her attention to detail and care for our dog. She sent updates, photos and videos the whole stay. I felt she was very attentive and took excellent care of our Labrador. We will definitely rebook with her.

This is a second visit and my dog has a list special care instructions compared to the last time. Cindy is very attentive to the dog that she sits and follow my dog’s routine perfectly. Cindy sends updates pics multiple times per day and also makes yogurt treats for my dog 🐶. Overall, I completely trust that my dog will have a great time at Cindy’s place.

Cindy has done a wonderful job taking care of my husky for 10 days. Her dog, Wangchai, also got along with my dog and they are play buddy. Besides the daily walks, she also made fresh food for my dog and gave my dog lick mats treats. She is very thorough in the meet and greet. She sends lots of videos and photos throughout the day and responds promptly. She gave my dog a lot of attention and love and I can see my dog grew attachment to her. By the end of the stay, Cindy already knew a lot about my dog’s behaviors and preferences. I feel very safe when my dog is under her care. Would 💯 recommend!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
We commute to work 2 days and work from home for rest of weekday. We generally wake up at 9:30am so dogs need potty early morning (before 9:00am) may not be good fit. I give relaxed walk/runs around my neighborhood daily so the pups can sniff around to do their doggie things. After walking, they will also be let out to play at the fenced backyard throughout the day. Fresh or refrigerated food is welcome if pre-portioned. My own dog has mild, easygoing temperament (hardly anything upsets him) and loves to play with other furry friends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care most about dogs wellbeing and I give them all the attention they need and treat others like my Shiba. I hate to make them feel left out and I respect them. You should be on a trip with ease knowing your furry friend is with me, which my friend tend to say about me.
