Pet care experience

Pawsitively Reliable!

Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet-sitting for years, caring mainly for kitties and small to medium dogs. Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, play time, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.

Cynthia did a great job of caring for our puppies while we were busy elsewhere. She is very responsive and kind.

Cynthia did a great job watching our dog overnight at our home. He was very calm and relaxed when we got home. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!

Our Chihuahua mix doesn’t take to just anyone and he took to Cynthia immediately. She’s very professional and detail oriented, communicating frequently. Gil absolutely loved her. We highly recommend Cynthia.

Cynthia was amazing watching our loved old man, Zeus, last minute. She left our house so clean and Zeus seemed very happy from the pictures and updates she sent us. Zeus is looking forward to having Cynthia stay again!

To help me better connect with your pet, I'd love to hear about them! Answering these questions will help me understand your babies better! What does a typical daily schedule look like for your pet? What are their favorite things (toys, pets, playing)? Can you describe your pet's general personality? Does your pet take any medications? Are there any restrictions for your pet, such as things they are not allowed to do? How can I better serve you and your pet while you're away?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
