Pet care experience

Flexible schedule, any type of pet

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!

I didn't have to worry one second. Cynthia did more than I expected for my Lucky. The pictures were great and I think she should be a photographer to add to her many activities. This was especially good because it was last minute and she wasn't the least bothered by it. I plan to ask her again very soon.

Cynthia did another great job checking in on Misty! Communicates frequently and sent us updates and pictures with each visit! Have had Cynthia care for Misty before and will again!

Cynthia has been so helpful and understanding during a troubled time. Super with Whimsy and a ease off my mind that our boy is taken care of in the best way!

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.
