About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience! I am a responsible pet owner of (3) small dogs. I do have basic training experience and have crate trained all three of my dogs successfully (after many sleepless nights of course). I work from home full-time so I am always at home and available for drop ins, doggy day care, or boarding! My house has a fenced in yard and all three of my dogs are up to date on vaccinations, including Bordetella. I also walk our dogs daily (weather permitting) so you can ensure your little one will get exercise, if they would like it that is! I have also fostered rescue dogs previously through Paws 4 a Cause in Lexington. I am an avid animal lover and will treat your dog as one of my own. Please note: due to my dogs being smaller (all under 25 pounds) I wont be able to accept dogs larger than 30-40 pounds. My dogs are tough and love to play, but we want to avoid any play injuries! I work from home full-time so I will be available throughout the day for your pet. I am able to let your pet out, or drop by and check on your pets many times throughout the day. Even when my schedule is busy I still usually have time to step away for pet care! I care for the pets in my home by keeping a watchful eye over them. They have access to our backyard and I ensure to step out and check on them often. I know what foods are safe for dogs and what foods are dangerous. My dogs are on different medications (for allergies), so I am well versed on giving oral medications if needed as well. If I am checking on your pet(s), or staying over at your place, you can rest assured that I am taking care of your pet(s) as if they were my own!

About: What sets me apart and why the pricing is slightly higher than most. Your fur baby will be on vacation too, we walk at least twice a day not short walks all the way up too 2.5 miles dependent on their level of exercise. We play fetch and we snuggle. I provide numerous toys from stuffed to indestructible to accommodate their toughness, let me love on your babies and leave you worry free. I love sending updates (the more the merrier) the genuine care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. With experience caring for both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details I also have a background in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, routine, and compassion,qualities that I bring into every pet-sitting experience. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’m more than happy to provide updates and photos so you feel connected even when you’re away. I’m available for boarding Monday through Sunday. Available for walks and check ins after 5pm Monday through Friday and any time during Saturday and sunday I can easily crate your dog if needed, back porch closed in, quite neighborhood. Security cameras all around the home and available to send pictures for updates when requested.

“We had a meet & greet with Cindy previously and really appreciated the way she interacted with Willow. Last night we had her do 2 drop ins and she sent pictures both times. It was so easy to set up as Cindy was very quick to respond. Our evening away was worry free thanks to Cindy. We will definitely use her services again!”

“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young! Professionally, I have worked with an animal rescue, as well as, a kennel attendant/care taker at a doggie daycare. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, and have worked with rescued dogs who have some of the worst backgrounds. I’m willing to work with any animal! Even if they may have behavioral issues, I love all animals and love to work and build bonds! I am currently a full time college student, however my busiest days are only Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am very flexible and am free to communicate a schedule that will help you and your pet(s)! With working at a rescue and doggy daycare, I’ve come to learn many things about animal and care taker safety. I will follow any and all instructions as written and in the event of an issue I will notify you immediately. I always try to read the room with any pet before I crate/feed/let them outside, just in case they may become uncomfortable. I refuse to let any pet feel like they need to protect themself from me, so I will remove myself in the event a pet may bite and contact you right away!
