Cynthia had lovingly cared for my sweet little toy poodle for a week while I had to attend to my father's surgery. I had absolutely no reservations about her ability to love and care for him and didn't have to worry at all, despite being 4 hours from my pooch. She sent me pics by text with updates and reported his status regularly. She treated him as a member of her family, a sentiment shared by her own dog , Brian.
