Information Cynthia A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any special interest your dog may have to help me guarantee a good walk. Also if they have any quirks I should be on the lookout for.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to new places they have not been before to stimulate their senses and curiosity. Also, like to play games and watch them learn new skills!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of every kind of dog. I’ve been a foster mom for years. I’ve fostered puppies to senior hospice dogs. I have trained many dogs and can train yours on our visits. I work from home most days of the week and have an indoor camera setup for when I do have to leave, I can check in on your furbaby. I have a house with a fenced in yard for activities and bathroom breaks. I live in a residential neighborhood and can take your dog for walks during the day. I usually leave dog tv on at a low volume during the day while I’m working from home. I am currently fostering a hospice dog, he gets along with other dogs and cats.

Cynthia was great about updates for our girls first time with her. Luna had a day well spent.

Cynthia was great with my 6mo. old puppy! It's good to know that you are leaving your pup with someone that cares and clearly my dog had a good time. Cynthia helped my dog socialize and improve her potty training. She sent me updates with pictures and even a video :-) Highly recommended.

Cynthia took exactly care of my two boys (cats). They felt right at home and she kept me updated on their well being with the cutest photos. She’s kind, considerate and an all round wonderful person. I highly recommend her services.
