Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 13 years, I own an animal rescue but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss having dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time, so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes we just lay on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed.

Information Cynthia M. would like to know about your pet

Must get a long with other dogsAre they allowed on furniture, are they fence jumpers, do they destroy things (not a deal breaker, they will just be in a crate if I am not around). Any other bad habits?

A typical day

We go out back and if they like to fetch, we do some of that, if they like water I will put out a kiddy pool. Sometimes just hang out in the yard with them. But usually they play hard because my dog, Donovan, is Awesome with other dogs and they like to play with him after proper introductions.

Pets

I like dogs better than people :)

Pet care experience

I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Dogs must be neutered or spayed.

We had a great experience! Ginger could run in her large, fenced yard! Cynthia is a down to earth dog lover with tons of experience. We will definitely use her again!

Cynthia was great with my 1 1/2 year old Sheltie. She allowed us to meet her and her pup a couple of weeks before our vacation, to make sure we all were comfortable with each other. Drop off day was hard for us since our Sheltie is only 1.5 year’s old and a rescue, we didn’t want to stress her out too much. Cynthia has lots of experience with rescues and was quick to pick up on her needs. During the vacation she sent us many videos and pictures, which helped a great deal. On pick up day she sent us home with homemade treats, bully stick, and a freshly laundered dog bed. I will definitely use Rover and Cynthia again!!!!
