Hi! My name is Cynthia Rinehart, owner of PetzRFamily2 Petsitting and DogWalking. Together with my husband Jim, we offer high quality service for the pet owner that only wants the best for their furkid(s). Unlike your neighborhood teen or even your friendly neighbor, PetzRFamily2 is available every day of the year with every member of their team fully insured and bonded.
Having always had animals from hamsters, kitties, dogs, goats, horses, and cows, starting our own petsitting company seemed like a natural fit. However, it takes much more than just a love of animals to make a company work and after thorough research and lots of training, we officially launched “Petz” 11/11/11. As our company began to grow, I began to see my area of interest. I began advanced training in Reiki for animals, as well as Hospice and Senior Care for the furry set. This truly is my passion.
I always said that my true test would be when it came with my own and just recently we said good-bye to both our Border Collie, “Odie” of 12 years and his Aussie pal, “Camo”. As I am a big believer in alternative methods, we used great nutrition, acupuncture, homeopathy, Reiki and lots of love in their fight with cancer.
They are “survived” by their kitty sister, Cassie, Freddy the gopher snake, JD (27), Eric (24), Victoria (16) and my husband Jim,
Previous to PetzRFamily2, I was a piano teacher of 25+ years (still can find me teaching some wonderful select students) and a former teacher with NVUSD.

My name is Jim Rinehart, Cynthia's team member! Before meeting Cynthia 29 years ago, I was a confirmed bachelor with no kids and no pets. Little did I know how drastically my life would change. Today, my life is full with 3 beautiful children and numerous animals. Through Cynthia, I have seen that a house is not a home if it is not filled with laughter, a bit of running, a meow and a bark here and there. Our house is quite empty without our two dogs, so I'm certain that the perfect pooch will find our family in no time. Until then, our kitty "Cassie" is making full run of the house and finding my nice warm chest as her bed.
I am semi-retired which allows me to walk dogs with PetzRFamily2 and play feather stick with the kitties. I must admit my favorite are our "Hotel Buddy" sits, meeting furry friends from all over the country and spending the day with them. I am also a pet friendly designated driver, so when not walking dogs you may find me driving for a wine tour in our lovely Napa Valley.
