Safety, trust & environment

I am in an apartment that does not allow pets so I am looking to have time with animals through Rover. I miss my animals back home since I am away at college so I would never put an animal in danger since I know how important a pet can be to someones life.

Information Cynthia M. would like to know about your pet

I am shorter, so please let me know if your dog is a jumper. I love them and I have strength for my size but it can still catch me off gaurd.

A typical day

I love going on runs with high-energy dogs and playing tug, and I have a good arm for fetch with larger dogs. I've used treats and puzzles to help train pets as well. All of my pets growing up are bell-trained for potty breaks and know basic tricks!

Pet care experience

My family has been part of Rover for 10 years and have gained a network of regular animals. I have taken care of many types and breeds of animals including my own family pets. I've had 3 dogs, 3 cats, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, and fish so I can handle most animals.

Cynthia did a great job for a very reasonable price. Our cat is quite elderly, but he was healthy and in good spirits when we returned. The house was kept in perfect order and very clean. We also appreciated receiving daily photos. Even though he missed us, it’s clear he was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!
