Holistic Animal Care Specialist!

Pet care experience

I provide a calm and compassionate environment where everyone respects each other's space. I work just 5 blocks from my home so I can provide for just about any circumstance. I have been in the pet care industry for over 25 years, and I specialize in diet and supplementation as well as holistic healing practices. I am CPR/First Aid certified for dogs through the Red Cross and I was a veterinary technician for many years (as well as Director of Nursing). I have cared for many types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, rats, fish, turtles, manatees and several other forms of sea life (as I have a BS in Marine Biology also!). Rest assured, your pets will be safe and happy when they stay with us!

Cynthia took such good care of my little dog!!! I was gone for a little over a week and came home to a very happy dog. I liked that she only takes one family at a time. It made it less stressful for my timid dog.

Cynthia was incredible with my dog. She sent pictures and was responsive when I would text her. I felt like she loved my dog as if it were her own.
