Local Fairy Catmother

Hi! I'm Cynthia, a catsitter in Fairfax with insurance and seven years of paid experience on Rover. I specialize in cats (with the occasional small pet, rabbit, etc)! I currently provide drop-ins for my corner of NoVA. Jobs outside my radius are reviewed case-by-case (my repeat clients can disregard service radius warnings)! I've done thousands of cat drop-ins on Rover! I've also had cats for 25 years and have volunteered locally with Fancy Cats Rescue Team as a cage cleaner where I worked with homeless cats on a regular basis. I have made it my life mission to help and understand our feline friends! I'm a huge fan of Jackson Galaxy, and I love reading about feline body language, physiology, and nutrition.

Safety, trust & environment

I work well with both lovebugs and cats who are unsure about strangers. I would love to connect with and bring joy into your cat's day while you are away, and I have answered to the needs of cats of all personalities. Could your cat be the President of Separation Anxiety Club? Is your cat afraid of almost all people, noises, and things? Does your cat need classical music on Alexa, have a CBD spray for their bed, or only drink water from a very specific cup in a very secret location? I've worked with all of the above. I've wiped dried snot from noses, administered oral and injected medication, converted hesitant felines into purring lap cats, created treasure hunts to slow down kibble scarfers, and so on. You will hear all about it in laborious detail, as well as the riveting daily chronicles of their litter box. Your cat will be safe and provided for, and hopefully also able to enjoy my company!

Cynthia has great communication and always responded to any questions or concerns quickly. She took things at my cats pace and made sure that she played with them and turned on cat TV for them too!

Ivy is always in great hands with Cynthia! We had a couple unexpected things come up while we were out and Cynthia was so helpful and communicative! It is such a relief to know that our cat is well taken care of while we’re away.

Cats
Cynthia can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Prior to the first booking, I prefer to schedule a complimentary in-person consultation. It's a great way for me to take specific notes about their routine and for questions about their needs to get quick answers, to hand over keys if necessary, as well as to meet your cat for the first time while you are home. The kitties are typically more comfortable with my drop-ins if they have met me beforehand.
These prices are for 1 cat.

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.
