Pet Visits and Dog Walks

Pet care experience

I first started dog sitting when my sweet Sky died in 2019. For over a year I was blessed to have many wonderful dogs in my home. On Sky’s death anniversary, a feral cat I’d been working on chose to walk into my home. Peeps is now a full time loving indoor cat. Sadly, I had a stressful experience with an aggressive dog (owner wasn’t honest about behaviour) that put Peeps in danger despite him being in a separate room. After that, it was difficult to have dogs stay with us, especially since Peeps is now used to being by my side. I do miss spending time with dogs, though so I’ve decided to get back on Rover for occasional in home weekend visits/dog walking. Rate is dependent on location, care for pet, and hours needed. On rare occasions, I may accept a dog who is good with cats in my home. A paid one night trial will be necessary. I look forward to connecting to learn more about your pet. My Original Post from 2019 My girl of 13 years made her transition. I will one day adopt a dog again, but for now I am happy to host, love, and walk your sweet friend. I appreciated this service when I went on vacation and I am happy to give back. I live in a dog friendly community and work from home most of the time. I have a fenced back yard that dogs love to explore. Unfortunately, I cannot take certain breeds due to renting. Dogs with separation anxiety, not friendly with cats or aggression towards adult humans are not a good fit. On the weekends I am away from the house for 5 hours.

This was our first experience with Cynthia and we were quite pleased. She met all our requests and kept us well informed on how our dog, Caylee, was doing. The pictures and texts she sent revealed that Caylee was happy and content. We're very grateful to you Cynthia, thank you!

Cynthia took good care of Sirius while we were away for a few days. You can tell she really loves animals and will make sure your pup is as comfortable as possible in your absence. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks, Cynthia!

Our dog Vinny had a very good time with Cynthia. He was happy when we picked him up, running around in her yard. We would definitely ask Cynthia to care for Vinny again.

My first time using River and Cynthia was great. She sent pictures and kept us updated on my son’s dog Bran while we’re were staying in Aptos. Great environment for dogs! Highly recommended.

I have a fenced yard that dogs enjoy. If the dog is properly trained to walk without excessive pulling, I provide 1 to 2 walks a day….sometimes more if an exceptional walker. There is nothing better than bonding with a dog during a walk.

Information Cynthia R. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if your dog is aggressive towards dogs, children, etc so I can accordingly plan walks. I’d rather know of any issues your dog has so I can be prepared, then find out the hard way.

A typical day

Dog friendly community for walks, beach (if dog friendly), and if owner permits, Niscene Marks for hikes. I have some toys for dogs to play with. The yard is awesome for dogs that like to explore. Secure, too.

I work full time from home. There are rare days I will need to be away for up to 6 hours so I cannot have any dogs with separation anxiety. I have accommodated all sizes of dogs and all ages. Exercise will be based according to their needs whether it be a light walk or a hike in Niscene Marks.
