Availability
I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure.

About Cynthia N.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

Information Cynthia N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routines, energy level, and any special needs or behaviors ahead of time. I like to know things such as feeding schedules, potty routines, comfort around other dogs, leash habits, crate preferences, anxieties, medications, or anything else that helps me provide the best care possible. The more information you share, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine.
A typical day
A typical day includes walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention based on each pet’s personality and energy level. I try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Depending on the dog, that may mean neighborhood walks, relaxing together on the couch, playing with toys, or simply having company and affection throughout the day.

Experienced & Reliable Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays.

Cynthia goes above and beyond by paying attention to details, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need.
