A pet's best friend

Pet care experience

I'm the "Blue Ribbon Critter Sitter." I haven’t met an animal I didn’t love. I’m always asking owners if I can get acquainted with their furry friends when we meet on the street or shopping. My pets only stay with a trusted friend when I need to be away. That’s what you have in me – a trusted friend who understands how important it is to know your family pets are getting the best of care while you’re away from home. I started taking care of other people’s homes and pets for friends when I lived in Missouri. Sometimes I stayed at their homes and other times I was just needed to stop by and make sure all the creatures, plants and property were ok. Dogs of many breeds and sizes have always been in my life; cats, birds, fish and horses too. It would be my pleasure to care for your pet family.

Cynthia did an amazing job caring for our cats. I would recommend her to everyone, and I cannot speak highly enough about how well she cared for them. I fully plan on using her every time we go out of town

Highly disappointed. I’ve had Cynthia come over to take care of one of my senior dogs. No issues. We booked her for an overnight to take care of all of our dogs. One Pom is ornery, but I’ve never had previous sitters NOT change his belly band. Cynthia said she was afraid of him biting her so she left him in a urine soaked diaper for over 24 hours. She has not responded to other questions about my other dog. We came home to a house that smelled strongly of urine. The kitchen floor was sticky with pee. So, ghosted me on texts. Did not pick up phone calls, no returned text messages to answer my inquiries, and left my one Pomeranian to sit in urine. I’m tolerant to a certain extent - I left a ton of directions and treats/tips to handle my Pom. No other sitter had any issues changing his belly band. Incredibly disappointed with Cynthia’s services and lack of communication. Would not recommend - the one good thing is my pets are still alive.

After several fails employing someone (not thru Rover) to care for my dogs and home I can unequivocally endorse Cynthia. She exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful for her service. My dogs give her 4 paws!
