Diabetic or medically fragile care.

Pet care experience

I am a special education teacher of medically fragile students. I had such a hard time finding care for two of my precious babies because they had medical needs. I could never go anywhere without worrying. They both recently passed on in 2019, my kids are living on their own and now, I have the time to help other families be able to leave town. Dillon, was my diabetic cat, whom I gave insulin shots to twice a day and Melody, was my Toy Poodle who became deaf at age 13, partially blind and toothless the last two years. Melody lived 16 years and Dillon, 13. I have two other fur-babies, Wolfy and Fergie. Wolfy is a 13-year-old Poodle. I've had him since he was born and Fergie is my precious princess, a rescue Poodle I adopted two years ago. I would like to help other parents who may need reliable, loving care especially, those with medical needs. I have cared for many animals, big and small, all my life including, farm animals. All are family, not just pets. I will love them as you do. I would be honoured to help your family by caring for any of your animals including, fish, turtles, bunnies, rats, guinea pigs, goats potbelly pigs, sheep, horses and donkeys. My family has raised every one of those in the past. Yes, even donkeys. At present, my family has many animals. They are, of course, not living with me but I help my mom and kids when they go out of town. We have Standard Poodles, Toy Poodles, a champion show Collie, a Chihuahua rescue, cats (including Champion show Birmans), fish, a turtle and a very old, special needs bunny. We have raised many breeds of dogs and cats, big and small.

I have known Cynthia J. for many years. She has always had pets including horses, donkeys, goats, and of course, dogs and cats. She has cared for my animals both at her house and at my home. She is reliable and competent and an animal lover. Some of my pets have had special needs. She has cared for them lovingly and given medication. She has administered insulin to diabetic pets. I have a dog who needs sub-q fluids. I trust her to not only provide the best physical care of my pets but to love them and tend to their emotional needs as well.

Cynthia is the best pet sitter I have ever had! Not only is she reliable, but she actually stays with my fur babies every day and spends time with them. When my dogs hear her walking up to the front door, they go crazy! They absolutely love her. She is also adept at taking care of special needs pets. My kitty is a diabetic and needed insulin shots every day. Cynthia to the rescue!! She is amazing and you will NOT regret trusting her with your precious fur babies!!

Information Cynthia J. would like to know about your pet

No, I don't have any preference. Big, small, comfortable with strangers or not.

A typical day

My photos show my dogs after getting a "Pupuccino" from Starbucks. Fergie will fall asleep upside down on my lap when I rub her tummy. Wolfy gets tired easily so I'll carry him in a baby sling. He loves it! The last pic is of a few weeks old kitten. I helped rescue newborn kittens who had to be bottle fed until they were old enough to go to an adoption rescue. They are now with forever families, are loved and cherished.
