Safety, trust & environment

Care for your dog or cat would be in your home. I can care for other small pets in my home or yours, whichever works best for you.

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. Unfortunately I do not pet sit for pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I communicate well so you know how things are going, work from home, and can be flexible on days, nights and weekends. I only schedule a few clients at a time 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!

Cynthia was absolutely wonderful and gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. She was incredibly detailed in her updates, letting us know exactly how each visit went. She even sent us Instagram-worthy photos and videos of our sweet, spunky boy, Archie! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. 100% recommend Cynthia to anyone needing a trustworthy, reliable Rover sitter!

Cynthia was great with my rescues Bo and Arlo! She gave my tentative dog time to adjust to her and become good friends! Would highly recommend!

Cynthia was absolutely wonderful!! She was punctual, provided updates and pictures every day! She volunteered a "meet and greet" and Chloe just loves her to pieces. Cynthia is affectionate and caring and she completely put our minds at ease the entire time we were out of town. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be requesting her services again!!
