Home is where the dog is!

Pet care experience

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Cynthia and I LOVE animals! I absolutely adore dogs and have been caring for them for over six years. I will provide the best care and attention to your furbaby! I am patient by nature and experienced with every temperament. Whether your dog is shy or friendly, fearful or sassy, high energy or mellow, you can rest assured that their needs will be met. I strongly believe that patience, compassion, and love make the perfect recipe for a pup's happily ever after! That plus treats and a toy or two 😁 Dog Walking I will generally arrive 5 minutes ahead of the scheduled time in case your dog needs a little extra time to calm down or warm up to me before we go for our walk. The timer will not start until we begin the actual walk. I will walk your dog for the entirety of the requested time. When arriving back at your home, I will provide water and food based on your request and then secure your dog based on your instructions before I leave. Unless the extra requests are expected to take up a significant amount of time, your dog walking appointment will be guaranteed walk time. Drop In I will arrive 5 minutes ahead of the scheduled time just as I would with a dog walking appointment. Unless you instruct otherwise, the first thing I will do is let your dog out for a potty break. After that, its really whatever your dog wants! I am happy to play and engage with your pup to get energy pumping or snuggle if that's what they prefer. I love dog training so if you are working on some tricks or obedience and would like me to work on those skills, just let me know. I view drop in visits as freeform so let me know if you have anything specific you want me do or what your dog usually likes. Otherwise, my focus will be on letting out some of that energy and loving on your pup! Dog Boarding and Doggie Daycare I am not offering these services on a regular basis because I am employed fulltime. However, I rarely go on vacation so I will be available for most holidays and weekends. For these services, I promise the same high standard, quality care. I have a dog so a meet and greet will be necessary to ensure everyone gets along. After that, potty breaks will be provided every 2-4hours, play time will be provided as requested by your dog (which can be on and off, every 5 minutes, all day! Yay!!) There will be two long walks; once in the morning and the other in the evening before they go to bed or are picked up for the night. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in the bed with us unless you have different house rules you'd like us to follow.

Cynthia is always so wonderful with my Luna girl, I never worry when I have to be away and Cynthia is dropping in on her!

Fantastic! Cynthia is so sweet and exceptional with my dogs. I highly recommend Cynthia if you are looking for someone to treat your pups like family

Cynthia's patience, kindness, and love for animals makes her the ideal dog sitter. I'm very hesitant to trust my dog with any other person aside from me (who's not, I know)...probably more so than most fellow dog owners. Why? Because my pup is a pretty unique breed (Great Dane) with a short life expectancy, and therefore, comes with a lot of don't's -- don't feed her any table scraps, avoid stairs when/if at all possible, don't let her drink too much water at the dog park and then run around; the list goes on. If Cynthia ever questioned me on any of my list items, it was to gain a better understanding to better relate and care for my pup. Cynthia never ceases to amaze me with her patience with animals and having seen how well she's trained her own pup, I can't imagine ever not having had Cynthia dog sit my own pup, especially in my pup's early days. (She's also really great at sharing pictures when she keeps my girl too, which is always an added comfort while I'm away from her.)

Information Cynthia N. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences although I do have an ooey gooey soft spot for big doggos. I like to do meet and greets to give all humans and dogs a chance to get to know each other a little better. I'll ask about your dogs walking habits, triggers, or any other behaviors that may present challenges. I only ask to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog. Your answers will never affect my decision to provide a service. I am completely comfortable and confident regardless of breed, temperament, or size. I have never met a pawsome pal I couldn't win over!

A typical day

We can walk around the neighborhood, at a nice park, or wherever you are comfortable with. Games of fetch and tug are certainly a standard offering along with agility if your pup likes that sort of thing. If you've got a snuggle bug, I offer snuggles and extra snuggles free of charge! I generally will not take your dog to the dog park or beach unless you explicitly ask me to. I do not trust other owners and dogs since my own dog has been attacked due to an irresponsible dog owner bringing an aggressive dog to the beach.
