With over 35 years of experience caring for pets, I believe the more helpless a creature is, the more it deserves our protection and kindness. As a solo pet care provider, I offer personal, one-on-one attention for every animal in my care.
I specialize in pet sitting, pet boarding, and dog daycare, creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being always come first.
If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’d be honored to help. Reach out to tell me about your pet and what they need.

Cindy is a fantastic pet sitter. We hae now taken our dog, Chika-Latte, to her three times. She is kind and caring and always willing to spend significant quality time with our dog, making her feel at home even though she is away from her family. Cindy is thoughtful and sends us pictures regularly of Chika and gives us constant updates by text telling us how Chika is doing and ask questions as needed. We are grateful for the care and kindness she has provided and heartily recommend her to others .

First timer here and we were just amazed by the quality of her pet care services! Trust me, she is a true angel to pets. Her kindness, care and responsibility towards pets are absolutely incredible! Our 2 of 16 y.o cats are very attached to mama who works from home, so they seem to have a separation anxiety when my husband and I leave for a short trip. CeCe came to rescue and she will always be our pet sitter going forward. We are able to have a great time away from home because of her. We are just super grateful to finally find her service here.

I love snakes too, but I cannot feed live animals. ☹
