8. Cyndi & Paul H.

“Cyndi and Paul are absolutely amazing human beings and the best dog walkers ever. I was lucky to have them walk my dog for a whole week while I was away. They both were extremely attentive, always on time and were even kind enough to give her extended walks beyond the 30 minute window. I really appreciate their help as I could tell my dog was so much less depressed when I returned than she typically would be in my absence. I highly recommend Cyndi & Paul and will absolutely use their service again.”

About: I've been running around my grandfather's veterinary office since I was a toddler, which was what initially triggered my love for animals. The natural response to this at that time was to set my sights on becoming a veterinarian, but I ended up in IT after realizing that I would never be able to make it through entire days of seeing animals in pain. However, I kept my love for animal care alive through pet-sitting for my neighbors, walking their dogs on a regular basis and, much later in life, taking care of my own little fur baby named Max! I have a good general knowledge of dog health, and can identify warning signs if any very quickly. I am also familiar with puppy training and care. I've gone through the whole process of bathing, feeding and walking dogs, both personally and for others, and am aware of the many hiccups that can come up and how to avoid them. I also love walking pets in my care, and can give them frequent and long walks if they'd like. Alongside all of this, I also make sure to follow owner instructions to a T and make sure I know as much as possible about their natural behaviors and characteristics, to ensure complete comfort for both owners and pets. I am a UX Designer who works from home at all times. I am free to take care of animals at all times due to the fact that I am always home, and I can give them the dedicated love and care that they deserve! I prefer to take on walking duties, however I am willing to board smaller dogs due to the limited space in my apartment. I live in a small apartment in Newport, Jersey City, with two other roommates. I don't have any other animals with me at present, so I will be with pets at all times to make sure they don't get lonely and are safe. Feeding, walks and furniture rules would be made according to each pets habits at home, I am flexible with these aspects. I try to know as much as possible about each pet, including their characteristics, likes, dislikes, favorite games and anything else that might help me make sure that they don't miss their owners too much.
