Hello,
I am a caring pet sitter and house sitter with trusted references in Los Angeles county. I love animals, and have rescued and cared for animals for decades.
I have also passed a background test.
I freelance as a journalist for an online publication (film reviews), and have a very flexible schedule. I am a non smoker and my past experience includes working with teachers, students and principals to create educational videos, as well as a post production work for the film and TV ...

I am a caring pet sitter and house sitter with trusted references in Los Angeles county. I love animals, and have rescued and cared for animals for decades.
I have also passed a background test.
I freelance as a journalist for an online publication (film reviews), and have a very flexible schedule. I am a non smoker and my past experience includes working with teachers, students and principals to create educational videos, as well as a post production work for the film and TV industry.

I have taken care of animals pretty much all my life. My last cat passed away a few years ago, and I was teaching a private class at someone's home when she noticed how well her dog was getting along with me. The rest is history! I started dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, taking care of birds, fish and horses. From nutrition to medicinal needs, I take great care of every animal, physically and emotionally, and I feel that every animal I meet becomes an extended part of my family.
I feed them and walk them of course, but also play with them, and spend quality time pampering them as much as possible. I have cared for healthy or sick pets, administered fluids, cleaned their eyes, and given medication. I treat every pet as if he/she is my own, and pay a lot of attention to their emotions and well being.
I found out that every pet has their own personality, their own likes, dislikes, and they all communicate with you all the time. There is so much to learn from them, and it is a real pleasure to be trusted in the care of someone's pet.
I also take great care of your home, pick up the mail, water the plants, take care of the trash....
I communicate daily, sending photos and/or short videos on a regular basis, and I am available 24/7 via phone, text, email, what's app, etc..

Your pets needs and your home are my priorities and I look forward to showering them with love and attention!

I can’t say enough positive things about Cynthia! She made sure to entertain and walk my dog multiple times a day, playing with him in the backyard and giving him all the attention he needed. On top of that, she worked wonders with my cat, befriending her and making her feel comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout her stay. She kept me updated regularly, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going smoothly at home. When I returned, the house was absolutely spotless, ...

She kept me updated regularly, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going smoothly at home. When I returned, the house was absolutely spotless, and it was clear she treated my space with great care. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the well-being of both pets and property. I’m so grateful for her help and would love to have her back in the future!

I was so glad to have found Cynthia! She is amazing! She is very delightful, conscientious and responsible, a true animal lover! Our dog has attachment issues with my husband and becomes very anxious being away from him, but he bonded immediately with Cynthia and does very well in her care. She took him for very long walks every day which he loves. We also have a cat that is a scaredy-cat, but he also bonded immediately with her upon first contact! Her first sit with us was for 3 weeks, her ... MoreI was so glad to have found Cynthia! She is amazing! She is very delightful, conscientious and responsible, a true animal lover! Our dog has attachment issues with my husband and becomes very anxious being away from him, but he bonded immediately with Cynthia and does very well in her care. She took him for very long walks every day which he loves. We also have a cat that is a scaredy-cat, but he also bonded immediately with her upon first contact! Her first sit with us was for 3 weeks, her second for 2 weeks, and she is scheduled to do a 3rd sit for us in a few weeks, which will be for 10 days. We completely trust her with our pets, she takes excellent care of them plus she is great at communicating with us about their condition and well-being with cute pictures and messages. She is very knowledgeable about the care of animals and truly loves them. She also takes great care of the house which is always nice and clean upon our return. Being retired, my husband and I are doing a lot of traveling now, and we will always check with her first to see if she is available to stay with our pets! We highly recommend her!
