House/Dog Sitter Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

A care giver by nature and profession, I enjoy walking in all types of weather and love to have a companion on four legs who enjoys it as well. And variety is the spice of life so I like meeting new people and new dogs. I'm great at providing extra scratches and strokes and playing fetch and tug, and I'm ok with the fact that poop scooping and tick checking are just part of the deal. I have plenty of experience working in other peoples homes so there is no problem with "playing by the rules" to ensure pet care is given in the manner to which the family expects. I have strong references and lots of enthusiasm. And if I connect well with the humans as well as the dogs, thats a fabulous fringe benefit! I provide 5-star house/dog sitting .

Cindy is incredible! She stayed at our house for several days while we were on vacation and took excellent care of Luna! This was the first time we left our 4 month old puppy, so I was a little nervous. But knowing she was with Cindy allowed me to relax and enjoy vacation, confident that she was in good hands. I met with Cindy before vacation to go over everything, and she had very good questions - I could tell she would be very thorough and responsible. And Luna loved her from the get-go. Once on vacation, she sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I could see that our puppy was having a great time and getting so much love! Cindy took her for walks, played outside with her, gave her time to play with the neighbor’s dog, took her on a few trips, and snuggled on the couch with her. Upon returning home from vacation, she gave me good information about the stay. Luna was happy to see me, but sad to see Cindy go. Also, she left the house just as we left it; it was clear that she took good care of the house too! In addition to all that, Cindy was willing to go above and beyond. We had an almost disaster when we got to the airport and could not get in contact with our family friend, who was supposed to be at our house for the first few days of vacation. I was in the airport, trying not to panic, as it was almost time to board the plane, and we still had not heard from our friend. I texted and called Cindy, and she responded right away saying that she would go over to be with Luna if we didn’t hear from our friend in the next hour. As it turned out, we heard from our friend shortly after, but Cindy’s willingness to help out in that time of crisis was so crucial. I instantly relaxed, knowing that we had a backup plan, and Cindy pulled through like a close friend or family member. I was beyond grateful. Also, when our pup found a hole in the backyard fence and escaped (another almost disaster), Cindy handled the situation calmly and effectively. Luna came right to her. She told me right away and offered to go to the hardware store and try to fix the hole - again, above and beyond. We are so grateful we found Cindy and wholeheartedly recommend her for any of your pet care needs. We will definitely be using her again!

Cynthia was an excellent house-sitter. She looked after Myla in my home for 4 days while I was out of town. She regularly sent me photos and updates, and it was clear that Myla was comfortable at home, and very well looked after. Cynthia treated my house and belongings with respect. I will definitely ask Cynthia to look after Myla next time I need a sitter!

Cynthia was wonderful caring for my older dog. She provided me with many updates and I felt happy and secure with her caring for my dog. I plan on having Cynthia watch my dog again in a few months! I highly recommend Cynthia!

Cynthia was the best! I wish I had her around years ago! She sent daily updates with pictures which is what I requested and really appreciated. She went over and above what was expected. She took our dog out in her car to the park a couple times and most importantly just spent time with our pets so they wouldn't get lonely. Great at communication and reliability. Thank you Cynthia!!
