Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Lover with Hospital Experience!
Looking for a dog walker? Drop-in visits or both? I also offer cat sitting / drop ins! I’m 28 and work full-time at Lurie Children’s Hospital on their psych unit, with over 5 years of hospital experience. I’m also currently pursuing my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling! I’m a huge animal lover and have two huskies and two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly feel comfortable with and trust with your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, getting dogs outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m located in Hinsdale and the surrounding areas, and I’m also available in Chicago due to work. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s routine and individual needs, whether that means a walk, a quick check-in, medication administration or some extra attention. Hope to meet you and your furr babies!!

Ratings and reviews
Cynthia was great with Brix and communicated with me often throughout his stay. Would definitely recommend!

Very well done. The communication is great, wonderful photos and even better at telling me what’s up. Thank you Cynthia.
Rylie enjoyed her stay with Cynthia. Cynthia sent pictures everyday and Rylie did not seem to want to leave when I picked her up! That is a clear indication that she had a great time with Cynthia. I was a little nervous to have to leave Rylie somewhere different because her usual person wasn’t available but this worked out amazingly well.

Cynthia was wonderful! She was so patient with my dog. This was the first time sitting and it took my dog some time to adjust. She had a dog of her own which was great to have someone for my dog to play with. My dog was worn out (in a good way) by the time she got home! I recommend and would use again.

Cynthia was awesome! Sent pictures daily and would respond immediately to any questions I had. Clean home. And it was clear she cared for my pet as her own. Would def recommend her to sit your pet!
Cynthia is very sweet and made sure I knew what was going on. My dogs loved her, and I definitely will be asking her to sit for them again!
