Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home!

I recently lost my dog, Dunston, so there are no pets at home right now. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m around throughout the day. For my own safety and safety of other dogs, I do not watch Rottweilers, Dobermans, or pit bulls. Our home is pretty calm and low-key, and I do best with dogs who match that pace. I’m usually hanging out watching 90 Day Fiancé or relaxing on the porch, and I love when a dog wants to curl up next to me or just keep me company outside. I also love getting outside with them, playing fetch in the backyard, and going on walks in the morning and evening. I take dogs out often, keep a consistent routine, and give them lots of attention throughout the day. I’m probably not the right match for: • Dogs that are not fully potty trained • Super high-energy or go-go-go dogs For safety reasons, I’m also not able to take large dogs that pull on leash. If your dog likes a calm home and gets lots of attention, they’ll be comfortable here. I'd love to meet them! :)

I can’t say enough good things about Cindi! She watched my dog, Romeo, for a full week and provided excellent care. She truly went above and beyond, not only making sure he was well taken care of, but also being attentive to his medical needs and happiness. When it seemed like Romeo wasn’t eating enough, she offered helpful solutions to help and make him feel more at home, which I really appreciated.

Doggy Day Care • sep 22, 2025

My dog had the best time at daycare! Cynthia went above and beyond, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable. Her attentiveness and clear communication helped make the process stress-free. Highly recommend!

Cynthia was easy to coordinate with and really helped me out by watching my cat(Mr. Stitches) given a short notice. She sent me daily photo updates where in Mr. Stitches looked very much at ease. I would trust Cynthia again and recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.

Cynthia is truly a star sitter and an absolute gem. She is accommodating , communicative, and has a true passion for the animals in her care. Murphy stayed with her for a week and he didn’t want to leave lol! She did a great job constantly sending me pictures and videos and I can tell he was given a lot of love and play time. So grateful to have found Cynthia and cannot recommend her enough!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and have a crate to use if needed. Both medium and small crates. I have one small dog in my home. Now accepting large dogs (50+ lbs) for boarding and daycare! However, due to my size, I can only take in large dogs that are leash trained, low energy and non-reactive. Your pup should walk well on a leash without excessive pulling or lunging. If you’re unsure whether your dog fits this criteria, feel free to message me to discuss!

A typical day

I love taking my dogs to explore different places and play fetch with them. I love cuddling with pups while watching TV. I like to play with the dogs in the backyard and spending time on the front porch with them. I love to spoil dogs with love!

Please share anything that will help me give your dog the best care. Helpful things to include: • Energy level and typical daily routine • Potty schedule and any recent accidents • Leash behavior, especially if they pull • How they do when left alone • Any anxiety, barking, or triggers • Feeding schedule and any food restrictions • Medications or health concerns • How they are with people and new environments I also appreciate honesty about behavior so I can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.
