I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care throughout the week. I usually start my mornings with my own dog, Appa, so walks and potty breaks fit naturally into my day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting during the day and can adjust around your pet’s usual routine. I like keeping things consistent — regular feeding times, playtime, and quiet breaks all help pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s morning energy, midday visits, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they need to feel happy and secure.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I don’t offer boarding in my home, but in your home I make sure your pet stays in their familiar and secure environment with their normal routine. I pay close attention to things like locked doors/gates, where food and medications are stored, and any unique household rules you have for your pet. I take time to learn your pet’s cues, safe spaces, and any anxiety triggers, so I can give them the right balance of attention, exercise, and calm. On walks, I keep a close eye on surroundings, avoid unsafe interactions, and always use secure leashes and harnesses. I believe trust and communication go hand in hand — I’ll always update you with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing and can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

Caring Dog Mom You Can Count On

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and know how much they mean to us. Finding someone you can trust with your furry family matters, and I take that responsibility to heart. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each pet’s unique routine, body language, and comfort level. Whether it’s a playful walk, calm cuddle session, or structured care for an older pup, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra patience or medication. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my life with my black Labrador, Appa, who keeps me active and in tune with canine needs. Over the years, I’ve handled crate training, leash manners, and supported dogs with anxiety or special diets. What sets me apart is my genuine communication and care — I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Cynthia watched my dog, Rocco, at my hotel while my husband and I went to dinner and a concert. She was very flexible about coming to our hotel. Cynthia had great communication and made me feel reassured that Rocco was in good hands. She sent texts and photos throughout the night. She took Rocco for a couple walks and fed him dinner. I would definitely recommend her others and will select her again the next time we are in Las Vegas.
