Safety, trust & environment

Care for your dog or cat would be in your home. I can care for other kinds of small pets in your home or mine.

Information Cynthia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs, rules in home, yard or on leash, if you have a senior dog who needs mobility supports, and anything else that would be helpful to know to ensure your pets - and I - are safe and well cared for while you’re gone.

A typical day

At home, my dogs get lots of attention, snuggles, car rides, exercise, and have reasonable boundaries. Your pet, whether it’s a house pet or barn animal, will receive the same level of care and attention so that they thrive until you return.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m an active, experienced animal lover who has been around dogs, cats, barns, birds, and all types of animals my entire life - horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, hedgehogs, you name it. I own large breed dogs and have experience working with dogs through multiple levels of training. I can provide care for dogs of all sizes and have previously owned cats (including one who lived to be 19!) I’m also happy to care for your barn animal (horse, donkey, goats, chickens, etc) or exotic pets and reptiles. **I’m available for walks, drop-ins or house sitting. **For house sitting bookings, I cannot stay overnight at your home in most cases, but can do drop-ins including morning, 1-2x during the day, and bedtime, while also happy to collect your mail, packages, water plants, etc. I communicate well while you’re away so you know how things are going. I also work from home and have some flexibility on days, nights and weekends. I only schedule a few clients a month to ensure your pet gets the time, safe care, and attention they need. Additionally, if you need a dog walker (regularly or as needed), I’m your person. I enjoy being outside and active, and can take your dog on short or long walks (even in winter), exercise them outside, and if needed can help work with them on leash training. I follow any special needs you have for your pet to continue their routine, training, medications, shots, etc. Your pet(s) will be well cared for so you have peace of mind and can be present in the moment while you’re away!

Fantastic experience! I was worried about leaving my dog so soon after moving him in with me but Cynthia was very caring, attentive to all my concerns and left awesome updates. Will have her back!

We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Cynthia was fantastic!!! This was our first time using Rover and she made it such a great experience. She FaceTimed with me before the day we needed her to make sure she got to meet Trudy and myself before coming into our home. She was so kind and so great with our dog! Will no doubt use her again. Thank you!!!

Our two cats were in great hands with Cynthia during our week long vacation! She was extremely detailed in communicating our kitties’ behaviors and activities, and she shared lots of pictures. One of our cats has additional bathroom needs, and Cynthia handled it perfectly - no accidents when we got home for the first time ever!! We felt totally at ease while we were away. We will definitely book Cynthia again in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
