I currently am a stay-at-home mom and wife who has a lot of time alone to apply to caring for animals or dogs that need to be walked, play fetch, or cuddled. I can go walk a dog or complete a home visit with short notice because my schedule is pretty open.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping routine and care for animals is important. I take good direction and would care for someone’s animal like they do to keep that routine for the animal as much as possible. Animals are treated like family members in my home and I would like them to feel as comfortable as possible. It is important to get to know the animals I am caring for so that I can recognize what is normal behavior for them and what is not. Daily check-in with the pet owner via text messages, emails, or pictures is a great way to let the pet owner know their fur baby is doing well in my care.

Information Cynthia R. would like to know about your pet

I think it is important to know about the pets that I watch what they like to do, what are their personalities, and what do they not like. I think that a meet and greet before any services are provided is great so that the pet can get to know me before I am caring for them. I love to build rapport with the animals that I am caring for.

A typical day

If the pet that I am watching likes to play fetch or play with toys I can take them in the back yard and play with the toys with them. I like to walk myself because it is relaxing so we could go for walks on some of the nature trails around the area. If I am watching a low energy pet or a senior pet and they like to take it easy I love to snuggle on the couch and just relax as well.

Really enjoyed the experience with Cynthia. She was very responsive and an animal lover. Felt like our fur baby was very well taken care of!

Cynthia was simply amazing. She took the time with our Aspen and she showed up to our place twice before the booking to ensure that Aspen would warm up to her. She took Aspen on walks and either patience she got Aspen to trust her more and more every day. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option, for her dedication and respect, her love for Aspen, her great communication skills and how well she cared for our baby. I will definitely be booking again, thank you so much Cynthia!

Cynthia was a wonderful walking buddy with our Moonpie. Moonpie was taken with her from the moment they had the meet and greet. She was flexible enough to walk the dog later in the day because Moonpie is sensitive to the heat. She even made sure he had plenty of water after each walk. We could see her care and concern for our dog. We would definitely call her again.
