About: When you trust your pet to a caregiver, experience matters. I offer a lifetime of dedication, counting 40 years of hands-on pet care and 5 years of dedicated professional caregiving. Throughout my life, I have opened my heart and home to all types of animals. This extensive timeline means I am deeply familiar with senior pet care, recognizing shifts in animal behavior, and providing a structured, secure environment. Why choose my services: * Expert Problem-Solver: I don't just watch pets; I understand them. I can manage complex diets, administer medications, and manage various behavioral triggers. * Peace of Mind: You get the reliability of a veteran professional who knows how to spot emergencies before they happen. * All Animals Welcome: I treat every dog, cat, bird, or small critter with the specialized respect they deserve. Pet care is my primary focus, not a side hobby. Because I am a dedicated pet caregiver, my schedule is highly flexible and built entirely around the security and routines of your animals.Drop-In Visits & Housesitting: Available morning, afternoon, evening, and overnights.Routine Consistency: I structure my routes so I can arrive at your home during your pet’s exact, preferred feeding or walking windows to keep their biological clocks perfectly on track.Last-Minute & Holidays: Because this is my full-time dedication, I offer excellent, reliable availability for holiday care, weekends, and short-notice bookings. Safety is integrated into everything I do. I understand that trust is earned, especially when you are welcoming someone into your home. Home & Yard Security Protocols: Every time I enter or leave, I execute a strict checklist: ensuring all doors are deadbolted, alarms are set, gates are latched, and windows are completely secured. Proactive Hazard Sweeps: I actively scan for hidden household dangers during my visits—checking for dropped human pills, toxic plants, unsecured trash, or toys that could become choking hazards. Visual Verification: I don't just tell you your pet is safe; I show you. You will receive real-time, high-quality photo updates showing fresh food, clean water bowls, and a happy pet.

“I’m soo happy that I came across Cindy’s profile. Bane loves her to death already which is weird it takes time for him to warm up to people but not Cindy , she must be some sort of dog whisperer 😂 🐕 . Bane weighs 140lbs and I was at first worried because usually I let men walk him because of his size and power but Cindy had no issues whatsoever this lady knows what’s she’s doing . She is very knowledgeable too soo many things I learned about my own dog I’ve had for almost 6 years . I will most definitely be continuing services with Cindy ! She’s the one you want working your pup!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
