Availability
I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

About Cynthia C.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
Home
Information Cynthia C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs, preferences, or behaviors your dog has so I can provide the best possible care. This includes things like dietary restrictions, medications, or feeding routines, as well as their comfort level around other dogs during walks or at the park. The more I know about your dog’s personality, habits, and routine, the better I can create a safe, consistent, and enjoyable experience for them.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, engaged, and well cared for through a mix of physical activity and mental stimulation. I like to incorporate simple training games like “leave it” and “wait,” using positive reinforcement to keep their minds active and build good habits. We’ll also spend plenty of time outdoors. I’m near great parks where we can go on walks, play fetch, explore new surroundings, and—if appropriate—interact with other dogs. At home, I have a private backyard where your dog can safely sniff around, play, or just relax in the fresh air. I personally enjoy staying active, so I’m happy to include long walks or runs in your dog’s routine if that matches their energy level. At the same time, I always tailor the day to each dog’s needs—whether that means more playtime, slower strolls, or extra relaxation and cuddles.

Treats Every Pup Like Family
Pet care experience
What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time.
Reviews

Cynthia was great with our dog, we will definitely book again!

Comet had the best time with Cynthia. He came home happy and hardly wanted to leave! Cynthia was super communicative and sent us lots of photos/videos. She took great care of him. Comet can’t wait to see her again soon!

This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!

Cynthia is great!
