Walked dogs are happy dogs!
Pet care experience
Having walked dogs full-time for the last 5+ years I am convinced I have the best "office"ever! Running my own dog walking business gives me perpetual on-the-job training which equates to thousands of hours not only walking but also learning about dog behavior and how to manage it successfully. Having worked with so many breeds and "issues" I am well-versed in techniques that get a dog to do what is in it's best interest via positive reinforcement rather than force. Each animal is it's own world and must be respected as such. I am experienced with reactive and high-energy dogs, blind and/or deaf animals, puppies and cats. I have lived in Anchorage my whole life and am a third-generation Alaskan. I treat your pet as if it were my own; I get it!
Reviews
Cynthia is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly attentive and provides the best care you could ask for. Gwennie has fallen in love with her and looks forward to her walks with Cynthia!
I am so happy I found Cynthia! My dog is a malinois and he definitely requires particular handling. And I’m a total helicopter mom. Cynthia followed all of my many instructions and provides great daily updates. I look forward to working with her in the future!
We are so happy we found Cynthia! We were looking for someone to fill in for our regular gal, and Cynthia was so responsive last minute. She was super easy to communicate with, has an obvious passion and love for dogs, and our dude liked her the second she walked in the door. She took great care of Atlas and sent detailed check ins, I felt very comfortable with her right away. We will absolutely book her again when we need!
My husband and I own a pet care business, and have partnered with Cynthia many times. She is absolutely reliable, she LOVES animals, and safety is her number one priority! She’s wonderful with clients as well as their ‘children’, and she is the first to print up fliers and go searching for a lost pet when one is posted on a list and found page. She is also a pet detective!! (An amazing one at that!!) Please don’t hesitate to call us for a reference, we love Cynthia and her crew!
