Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at a primary care office located just a few miles from home, which allows me to be available and flexible. If needed, I am able to stop home during my lunch break to provide potty breaks, meals, medications, or extra attention. I am off on weekends, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and one-on-one care. Since I have dogs of my own, caring for pets is already an important part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and ensuring that each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I make sure each pet maintains their regular routine and receives the care they need to feel comfortable and happy. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully ensure that dogs are securely leashed before going outside and closely supervise them during walks and playtime. I also have a spacious fenced backyard where pups can safely enjoy fresh air, exercise, and outdoor time. As a registered nurse and experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of being attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys playing, relaxing, or requires medications or special accommodations, I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and personalized care while keeping you updated for peace of mind.

Information Cynthia R. would like to know about your pet

To help ensure the best care for your dog, I’d like to know a few important things ahead of time. This includes whether your dog is house trained, how they do with children (I have a 10 year old and a 1 year old), and if they are friendly with other dogs, since I have dogs in my home as well. Please also share any medications, allergies, dietary needs, fears, or special routines your dog may have. For scheduling, I appreciate having your drop off and pick up times included in the request so I can plan accordingly.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged! I enjoy taking them on walks and visiting the park across the street for some fresh air and exercise. Depending on each pup's energy level and personality, we can play fetch, explore the neighborhood, enjoy time in the backyard, or simply relax together and soak up the sunshine.

Safe Dog Boarding by RN 🩷

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Cynthia, and I’m a registered nurse working in primary care. I’m also a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of two wonderful dogs: Hazel, a sweet senior English Bulldog who loves naps and sunbathing, and Stella, a playful French Bulldog who enjoys playing fetch and relaxing outside in the sunshine. I live in the Roslindale area, close to spacious parks such as the Arnold Arboretum, where our dogs love going for walks and exploring. I have two children, ages 10 and 1, who have grown up around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. Creating a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment is very important to our family. As a nurse, I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I am experienced in administering medications and caring for senior dogs or pets that require extra attention and special precautions. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Communication is very important to me, and I strive to keep pet parents updated and provide peace of mind while they are away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a sunny spot, I will make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I would be honored to care for your furry family member. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
