Hi, I’m Cynthia, a HUGE pet lover, and my presence on Rover is driven by pure love and joy for furry 4-legged animals. I can't imagine my life without pets so here I am fulfilling that dream to take care of the best creatures on Earth. I am an independent teacher so I teach hour long virtual classes 2-3 times a week meaning I am home full-time. During the pandemic I've only been taking in repeat clients on a smaller scale but with the summer months here I am fully available to care for new clients. I prefer to take in one client at a time to devote all my attention. As for my accommodations, I live in a 3 story house in Queens in a very safe residential gated community. I am walking distance to the beach and two big public parks. I also have a cozy and spacious two-bedroom apartment conveniently located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. With an indoor AND outdoor enclosed dog run and a grooming/spa facility, my apartment is super dog-friendly and provides many luxury amenities to pets. My apartment is walking distance away from South Street Seaport, FiDi, Chinatown and the LES so there are plenty of nearby parks, dog runs and enclosed outdoor patios to freely roam. Whether you're looking for an experienced dog walker or someone to care for your dog the same way you would (if not better), book my services today! I am very passionate about all things dogs and will be as flexible and accommodating to your dog's needs while in my care. My daily schedule is completely flexible to meet the unique needs of each pet and pet parent. I am an independent teacher so I teach hour long virtual classes 2-3 times a week meaning I am home the entire day to offer boarding, daycare, walks, etc. If I need to step out, there is always someone home to keep an eye on them or I can take them with me on dog-appropriate errands (owner permission required). My weekends are free as well and I do not make any external plans when I have clients - my full commitment and priority is caring for your pet! As I am able to offer all types of services, I prefer to take one client at a time (single or multiple pet family) especially for boarding. I will start with a meet-and-greet with my clients to get to know each other more personably, learn the quirks of the pet, and the routine of the pet and create the same schedule in my care. I am fully transparent in my care and will update at least twice a day with photos, videos and detailed messages. In my client's home, I will follow all instructions meticulously and have direct experience working with troubled clients who are reactive to visitors, when no one is home, etc.
