Information Cynthia G. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedule and any special instructions or idiosyncrasies your doggie may have. Does your pet sleep in a crate? Do you have special toys or chews for your doggie? What kind of temperment would you say your doggie has?

A typical day

We like to go on long walks. We have a bike/walking trail right here in the neighborhood. I have a great yard for your doggie to run all he or she wants. And my Lab Luna loves to play with other dogs! We have lots of toys to play with for tug of war and fetch and balls for chasing!

Pets

I love all dogs and kitties!!

Pet care experience

I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets.

When we brought Cooper to Cynthia’s house for his second stay, he excitedly ran into her house which is unlike any other arrangement in the past. Cynthia sends us a few photos or videos of Cooper playing and being handsome throughout his stay. When we pick him up he is excited to see us but not drop dead exhausted. We are so happy with the care Cooper receives. We will be booking again.

Cooper and I met with Cynthia, so they could get to know each other. Our schedule was a bit fluid and Cynthia worked with us. Cooper was well cared for, provided treats and plenty of love. The family dog, Luna was a great buddy for Coop. We got numerous photo updates, which we were happy to see. Will be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter!
