About Cindy
A Bernese Mountain Dog owner-handler — now caring for your pets at home.
I'll treat your pets like my own — with lots of love, and the kind of attention you'd give your own family.
I've spent more than twenty years raising and training my own Bernese Mountain Dogs in conformation, agility, and nose work. That work gave me a deep respect for what every animal needs to feel calm and safe — whether it's a 90‑pound Berner, a brand‑new puppy, a senior cat with arthritis, or a shy rescue still finding their feet.
In‑home sitting means I come to your house, on your animal's schedule. Real playtime. Walks. Feeding and fresh water. Drop‑ins through the day or overnights when you need them. Medications and special‑needs routines are no problem — I've handled them for years with my own seniors.
Show‑ring Berners need meticulous grooming and careful nutrition to stay in top condition — work I've done daily for two decades. That experience travels with me to your home: brushing routines, deshedding, nail trims, basic baths during longer sits, and practical feeding guidance when you ask — transitions, portions, and senior or puppy diets.

What I do
The kind of care
you'd give yourself.
ii.
Walks & play
Quality time, not just a quick out‑and‑back. Energy gets burned, mind gets engaged, and your dog comes home settled.
iii.
Grooming & coat care
Brushing, deshedding, nail trims, and basic baths — during your sit or as a standalone visit. Twenty years of show‑coat work translates to gentle, thorough care for any breed.
iv.
Nutrition tips
Practical guidance on feeding routines, food transitions, portioning, and senior or puppy diets — drawn from years of feeding active show dogs and seniors with specific care plans.
v.
Puppies & seniors
Patient with the wiggly ones; gentle with the slow ones. Comfortable with medications, mobility help, and special‑needs routines.
vi.
Overnight stays
When a few drop‑ins aren't enough, I'll stay in your home overnight so your pets keep their normal routine, fed and settled, while you're away.
Off duty
A few of my own.
