“Alaina is an excellent pet sitter who will take great care of your furry family members. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her warmth and friendliness. She did a wonderful job with my sweet kitty! While I was away for the weekend, she took fantastic care of my cat and sent me numerous photos and updates. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed and content, which truly speaks to Alaina's exceptional pet-sitting skills. I'll definitely be using Alaina in the future!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job caring for my two cats, Frances and Moody. From the start, Frances came right out to greet her, which felt like a great sign, and both cats seemed very comfortable with her throughout the stay. She provided regular updates and adorable photos, kept everything clean, and made sure they were well-fed and entertained. I came home to a tidy space and happy cats. I’m really glad I trusted Alyssa, and I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips. Grateful for her care!”
“Jaimie was literally SO amazing!!! My original sitter fell through after I had already left town. Needless to say I was FREAKING OUT trying to find someone to watch my cat. Jaimie responded right away and was willing to not only start that evening, but also grab the key from a different location. I hate leaving my cat but I felt very comfortable with having Jaimie watch him. I suggested leaving treats hidden around the house for him and filling up his food puzzles so he would have something engaging while I was gone and she did all of it! There wasn’t even any trash in the bin when I got home! On the last night, my cat got into one of his treat bags and ate all of them. She was very sweet and apologetic, but I told her not to worry about it bc he’s done it quite a few times. She still went and got him a replacement bag of treats, which she definitely did not have to do, and I would still be really happy with her services if she hadn’t. I think it just shows how caring Jaimie is and the high caliber of her own intentions and integrity. Fr thank you so much Jaimie!!! 10/10 will definitely reach out to her next time I need someone to keep an eye on my cat.”
“Holly S. is wonderful. She is prompt, responsive, and trustworthy. Most importantly, she truly cared about our old kitty who is timid, deaf, and set in her ways. The difficulty in going anywhere for any length of time is leaving our girl behind. Holly provided detailed updates, including our girl's habits & personality, that gave us a clear understanding of her well-being while we were gone. (This made it easy for us to fully enjoy our time away.) We will definitely ask Holly the next time we need a sitter.♡”
“Lisa is great! Would highly recommend her services. She dropped in on our two cats while we were out of town - she followed all of our instructions, was extremely communicative and we came home to two very happy cats. Thank you Lisa!!”
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old and have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
“There's nothing like having the peace of mind of having someone who cares for our furry babies while we are away. I would highly recommend Cynthia services.”
“Rich was fantastic! He took such great care of our babies and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We truly appreciated his attentiveness and will definitely be booking him again.”
“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”
