Availability

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.

Let us know if your dogs have any special behaviors or needs - we are able to accommodate a variety of situations and can help reinforce any training you are pursuing.

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.

Pet care experience

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.
