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 but can do drop-ins including morning and bedtimes. 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 will 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!

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!

Cindy was very good with our elderly dogs. One of them has high needs, including diapering due to frequent accidents. She understood their limitations due to their age and took the younger one for a walk and left the older one home when needed. She took her time in her visits and sent us the most adorable pictures. We had a minor miscommunication about timing at the beginning of our vacation, but once that was sorted out we had a wonderful experience. We recommend Cindy to care for your pets, she will love them like her own.

Cindy is a gem! She was so sweet and sent so many updates of our pup! We felt comfortable having her stay with our fur baby as soon as we met her. So glad we found her and will definitely be reaching out again!

Cindy is an exceptional sitter for Xiaoqi and our parakeet over two weeks. I usually don’t leave feedback if “job’s accomplished”, but Cindy went above and beyond. During our first video meet, she took notes as we talked through our needs and she followed up with questions, some of which I didn’t think of. It showed how much she cares about her clients. Xiaoqi is a very shy cat. Cindy would wait quietly to see if she could see him to make sure he is safe. She sent pictures and videos. She’s not just looking after pets, she’s looking out for anything unusual in and around the house. She is truly trustworthy and I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a sitter!
