ABOUT YOUR FUR BABY'S STAY WITH ME Drop off and pick up times work like a hotel stay. Keep this in mind when you are booking your stay: CHECK IN on the day you drop off is NOON or AFTER Check OUT on the day you pick up is NOON or BEFORE If you need earlier drop off or later pick up times, please contact me or book my Day Care Spot in addition to your boarding spot. NOTE: The Rover Booking process allows for various drop off and pick up times as well as cross-over guests, I do not. Since I only keep one at a time, I don't cross-over times between two different families. There are times when I can be flexible with drop off and pick up times, it just depends on other bookings so just ask!! ABOUT CYNDI I have Big Paw Prints On My Heart! I was practically born in a whelping box. To say "I have ALWAYS had dogs" is not an exaggeration. I grew up in a home where we bred and raised Champion show dogs (Great Danes and Dachshunds). It was not unusual to have 13 house dogs at any given time and all my adult life I have had a best buddy or two. When my best fur friend (pictured here) passed away, it left a big hole in my heart and in my home. This isn't a "business" for me, I do this because I love having a fur friend in my home and I treat yours as if they were mine while you're away. I only take one guest at a time, (two if they are both yours), so your baby will have my full attention. Your rules are my rules. If they are allowed on the furniture at your house, they can be here. If they sleep in the bed with you, I'm okay with that too. Again, this is a passion for me, not a "job", I want them to feel like this is a home away from home. I do have a full time job, but most of my work is done from my home office. I may be out for a few hours on appointments or to run errands, just like you. If your fur friend is free range at home, then they are here too. If you crate at home, then I do when I leave as well. My yard is not fenced, so bear that in mind for free run dogs. Here we ONLY go out on the leash for long walks around the neighborhood or a quick potty break in the back yard.
Reviews
Pepper enjoys returning to Cyndi’s home! Dog friendly, accommodating, lovely back yard and walking spaces. Squirrels to watch, too. She is very attentive and lets him out for early morning potty needs.
Another great stay!
Cyndi did an amazing job caring for Mango. Our pup can be selective and quite anxious in new situations, but she settled in quickly and had a great stay overnight. Cyndi sent lots of pictures of Mango’s adventures which we loved to see! We will definitely book with Cyndi again.
Cyndi was very considerate. I loved the way she treated my little guy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me updates frequently and I had a peace of mind while my fur baby with her. Thank you Cyndi. I appreciate your love and care for Oreo.

Your rules are my rules. If they are allowed on the furniture or "people food" with you, then they are with me too. If they aren't allowed at your house, then not here either. We ONLY go outside on the leash.
Home
Information Cyndi M. would like to know about your pet
I no longer take puppies or dogs that are not house broken. The occasional accident happens, but constant pee or poop for inside clean up is something I will not do.
A typical day
Your fur baby is my buddy for the time you're gone. I work from home most of the time so we're on the computer together and hanging out. I want the companionship as much as you want someone to love them! I send LOTS of pictures. The Rover site says only 10%, but that's because I send them directly to you and not on the Rover site. I do this for your pets security and so that you have them if you want to add them to your own gallery.

Availability
My office is in my home so I'm here most of the time but I may go out of the house for a few hours each day for appointments, errands etc. If you typically crate your pup while you're gone or allow free roam that's what I'll do here.
