Information Cynthia C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. Are they shy or social? Any medical conditions, allergies, or quirks I should be aware of? I also like to know what commands they know, their favorite toys or games, and if they have any fears or triggers—like loud noises or other dogs. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and right at home!

A typical day

We’ll be living our best lives. Enjoying fun walks and maybe a pit stop at a pet-friendly café for a treat. I like to sneak in some basic command practice and puzzles too—just enough to keep those tails wagging and those brains busy & of course with lots of positive reinforcement. Cuddle breaks are non-negotiable and I always make sure they’re ending the day with a happy heart and a wagging tail. For the fabulous felines, it’s all about keeping things calm, cozy, and on their terms. We’ll vibe in quiet corners, sunbathe, and maybe chase a toy if they’re feelin’ it. I’ll give them space when they want it and love when they ask for it—like the royalty they are.

Pet care experience

Part-time human, full-time snack dealer. 😎 Whether it’s a pup with zoomies or a cat planning world domination from the windowsill, I’ve got it covered. I provide expert-level cuddles and adventurous squeaky toy rescue missions. When you book with me, you can expect a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home. I follow your routines closely, offer plenty of playtime, snuggles, and gentle structure—whatever your fur baby needs to feel their best. You’ll also get photo updates and peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Think of it as a mini vacation—for them and you. *I can provide separate rooms for pets who like alone time or need a little extra peace by your request.

Cynthia was so sweet and attentive with Bean! She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Bean was really comfortable even though she got a little dramatic the first night . Cynthia made sure to check in about Bean’s eye and was super thoughtful the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and love she showed my pup. Definitely would book again!

Cynthia went above and beyond for my doberman puppy Dottie, treated her like a true part of the family, equipped with her very own couch. I was very anxious because this was the longest we had been apart, and Cynthia constantly eased my worries by sending me daily updates and even agreeing to face time. Dottie has bad separation anxiety but didn't even seem to miss me when with Cynthia. Cynthia was constantly responsive and always reached out to me for approval before doing anything. I will definitely be booking with her again when I go away and I 100% recommend her service to anyone having the same worries. If this is your first time using Rover or you are just looking for a new sitter, then please give Cynthia your service, you can tell she is very passionate about animals and you won't regret it!
