Former foster for DogsXL and MDSPCA
Pet care experience
I have worked for two years as a foster for Dogs XL and helped MD SPCA on a volunteer basis. I worked with dogs across the field and was the relied-upon foster for difficult, aggressive and larger dogs. All of my 5 fosters found homes within 6 months of staying with me. I work from home every Friday and can watch your pup when you leave for a weekend getaway. As a former foster, anything you can think of in terms of situations, I have encountered them from dogs that are aggressive, overeaters, lack of training and even separation anxiety. I believe that a good structure and exercise results in a happy dog. I also believe that a dog is a part of the family. Please contact me for my phone number before making a request for me to watch your pet.
Reviews
Cynthia was fabulous and took great care of our dog Fred! We feel very fortunate to have found her!!!
Cynthia was so attentive to my sometimes aggressive dog while I was away. She was willing to walk Buddy with me a couple of times before she dog sat at my apartment and was able to get to know him a bit before an overnight stay. I was worried she would be turned off by his food aggression, but her expertise as a former foster mom of aggressive dogs came in handy. She was very patient with him when he became reactive with other dogs too and was teaching him how to “walk with a purpose. We’ll see if I can be consistent so he doesn’t lose what she taught him! My apartment was also spotless when I returned, and everything was in its place. I’ll be booking her in the future!
Cynthia is incredibly caring and responsible when it comes to dog sitting and taking care of dogs. I have never seen a dog that doesn't like her and she genuinely cares and tries to get to know the dogs takes care of. She also really enjoys taking dogs on walks and can handle walking just about any dog and will even do her best to help train them! Definitely an awesome dog caregiver!

Information Cynthia M. would like to know about your pet
Any aggression issues or schedule would be great. I would also love to know any commands they are learning or issues they are having with discipline.
A typical day
I used to hike with my fosters and also go running/riding bikes. I have really cute pictures/videos of my last foster's, Rebok, swim adventures. As a former foster, I am very sensitive as to making sure a dog is well cared for and keeping their mind engaged.
