Pet care experience

Best animal scritcher in the OC!

I've taken care of cats, hamsters, gerbils, and dogs for family and friends since I was young. I wasn't allowed pets growing up, so I made it my mission to be the go-to sitter to get my fill of cuddles, scritches, nose boops, toebean massages, pets, love, and play. I've also volunteered at a pet shelter as a cat socializer and was able to find some loving furever homes for many. I am a compassionate animal lover and will take care of your furbaby like s/he is my own because I know how much they mean to you. I'm also good at taking photos of your pets and I can definitely send you pictures through text while you are away. My schedule is generally pretty flexible. We can always work something out to work with your needs. I do prefer to meet with you and your pet(s) prior to any scheduling, so that we both feel comfortable and get to know one another beforehand. Note on housesitting: My $48 rate only includes the overnight stay. If you require additional dog walking during the day or an extended stay, additional fees will apply. I am available to come to your place to walk or play with your dogs, feed and play with your cats or other animals when you're away or if you're swamped with a long day of work. I can come several times a day if necessary. I can do overnight stays, but am very selective with this option and always require a meet and greet beforehand, normally accompanied by my husband, for safety. I am great at cuddles and am very patient. I realize that some pets are sometimes apprehensive of new people and that's okay, I can work with that. I will never pressure a pet in any way without having built a great connection prior, but I can say that i've never had a pet not eventually love me. I pay close attention to detail and am good at following instructions, so please let me know of anything important beforehand.

Cynthia did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Sadie and Chester! She took great care of our dogs, was easy to communicate with, and shared regular photo updates of the dogs having fun. We will absolutely plan to have her watch Sadie and Chester again the next time we are out of town.

Cynthia is an incredibly caring and attentive pet sitter. She routinely provided impeccable care for my two pets. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for my pets while I’m at work or away for the weekend!

Cynthia is a true animal lover! She has a calm spirit, which makes my anxious pets feel at ease. Besides providing excellent care and attention for my pets, Cynthia is detail-oriented and reliable, which means I can depend on her to take care of things when I'm away.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and any dispositions I should look out for. I typically don't work with aggressive dogs, but if your dog is mellow, we will get along perfectly! If you have any special protocols you would like me to follow, please let me know ahead of time. I can easily adapt to their needs. Same goes for any other pet. Also, I do have experience in administering sub-Q fluids to cats if that is a thing that is necessary.
