Local Fairy Catmother

Hi! I'm Cynthia, a catsitter in Fairfax with insurance and six 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 and bring enjoyment 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!

Ten out of five stars!! Cynthia helped out with everything as requested with no issues and my cat seems to have greatly enjoyed her visits ♥️ . It’s such a relief to come home from vacation to a happy, socialized, extra-soft and well-groomed kitty!! Unquestionably rebooking next time I go out of town. Highly recommend her services.

Cynthia did an amazing job taking care of our needy cat! She provided loads of photos, kept us updated on the tasks completed, and communicated so well with us on how our cat is doing. We 100% recommend Cynthia for any pet sitting jobs and will definitely be contacting her again for any future sitting needs! Thanks Cynthia!!

Cynthia took great care of my cat while I was away. She is very thoughtful and attentive, and my cat got lots of playtime and cuddles with her. I could tell that my kitty was in excellent hands!

Cynthia did a wonderful job looking after my cat Darla 😊 She was attentive to details and communicated well. I felt more relaxed and able to enjoy my trip knowing that Darla was in such great hands. Darla was wearing a cone for part of the time we were away, and Cynthia did a great job with that aspect as well. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our 2 cats when we’re gone. Our cats quickly got comfortable with Cynthia who goes above and beyond to make them happy and keeps them entertained. We love the daily updates with fun photos!

Schedule

I am currently accepting new clients! I'm typically able to offer visits 9am-10pm. Please be advised that I do not accept bookings for visits more than one day apart.

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. Cats are, most of the time, more comfortable with my drop-ins if they have met me beforehand.
These prices are for 1 cat.

Prices may vary based on your selections. A booking fee of 11% will apply.

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.
