Housesitter and Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by pets all my life. Growing up we had a Collie (Duke), German Shepherd (Liebschön), Miniature Poodle (Noelle), English Retriever (Boomer), Yellow Lab (Chelsea), Blue Healer (Charlie), Basset/Lab mix (Sadie Lou), Boxer (Henry) and several cats (Daisy, Tigerina, Misser). What your pets will get in my care is LOTS of love (I’m a cuddler) and time together. I take pictures and videos to send to the owners (as often as the owners wish) so they can see how their fur children are doing. I am only able to housesit in your home at the moment as my landlord no longer allows me to board pets in my home.

Cynthia took excellent care of our adult siamese and rag doll kitten while we were away. She sent updates with photos, managed our mischievous kitten and even charmed our now annoyed and moody siamese! We will definitely be asking Cynthia to cat sit again.

Cynthia was the perfect person to care for our dog and cat while we were gone. She sent us photo updates daily. It was very clear that our nervous dog was very comfortable in her presence. We returned late at night and Cynthia had put fresh sheets on our bed and left the house very neat and tidy! We will definitely be contacting Cynthia in the future for our next trip.

Cynthia took excellent care of our pets, one dog and one cat. She was very careful to follow our older dog's diet and supplement needs and keep his usual walk schedule which includes many neighborhood friends. She did a great job of keeping in touch while we were out of country for 10 days, so we had great peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely ask her to housesit again for our next trip.

Safety, trust & environment

In my client’s home I would make sure I follow the instructions in taking care of their pets. I pay attention to whether I sense the pets are missing their owners and give them the kind of love that they need. Pets have their own love languages too!

Information Cynthia G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences- I would want to know any special needs, fears, does he/she get along with other dogs, any behavioral triggers, anything specific you do or don’t want me to do with your pet.

A typical day

I live on a small, pet-friendly island that has many trails and parks within which to walk. I am very cognizant of the dog(s) needs so if they aren’t comfortable around other dogs or have a particular outdoor activity they love then I adjust accordingly. Whatever is best for them is my goal!
