I have a wonderful 6 year old Shiba Inu and have been caring for a wide variety of pets since my kids were very young. We currently also have a 15 year old hermit crab, a rabbit we keep in a separate room, and have previously cared for several fish, frogs, and 5 large Blue Swedish ducks. We frequently dog sit for our friends and neighbors.

Wonderful backyard and setting! Lots of space and secure fencing for our pup to roam. Cynthia and her husband were terrific with our dog. Will definitely be repeat users!

Cynthia and her family took wonderful care of our pup, Sheba. She was very easy to communicate with, easy to schedule, and sent great photos and messages throughout Sheba's stay. I highly recommend her, and would book again.

My mom loves all sorts of animals. Due to allergies, as a kid her family couldn't have dogs or cats so she always enjoyed those of her friends. As an adult, she has cared for a multitude if domesticated animals and every time we came across an injured animal she would see that it received proper care. We have now had multiple pet ducks, a hermit crab for 15 years, a rabbit, many fish, and our wonderful Shiba Inu dog Larry.

Schedule

Someone will always be available to watch or play with the dogs due to remote work and flexibility. We are typically up early and start out with a walk. Once we are confident the dogs are getting along, we can let them out in the yard together; otherwise, we make sure to give each of them their private space. We provide water inside and out and change it often - your dog can have its own bowls. We typically feed our dog 2 x per day but can accommodate any variation for your dog. We also provide some doggie treats, if permitted. We have portable fencing should the dogs need to be separated inside or out.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and garden and a very well behaved Shiba Inu. Dogs will always get a good amount of attention and have plenty to do. They are allowed on the couch if it's alright with you, and we have a crate if needed. The location is very quiet with few cars.

Pets

A typical day

We take dogs on walks around Meadowbrook and Rock Creek Park, romp and play in the spacious fenced-in yard or family room, or even a doggy dip if your dog enjoys water. The immediate neighborhood has very little traffic.
