I'm Cynthia
Cat Sitting in South Elgin, IL
I have been a cat lover and a cat owner for 25 years. I was thrilled to finally become a cat sitter in 2021.
I love meeting new pet parents, and I love meeting new felines as they are unique and beautiful creatures; and I love the challenge of new personalities.
Senior cats are my special love and my specialty as it is extremely important to be in tune to their countenance when sitting for them. Exceptionally long reservations are also my specialty as it's great responsibility to keep an eye on the cats for a longer time as well as the home.
What makes me an excellent cat sitter, is the simple fact, that I love what I do. I have been the owner of 12 cats, I am a mom and a homeowner; so keeping things clean and tidy comes natural to me, and cat sitting is my only job. I am conscientious, respectful and trustworthy while in the client's home. I treat your home and your cats like I do my own... Hello, I'm Cynthia!

I am conscientious, respectful and trustworthy while in the client's home. I treat your home and your cats like I do my own.
I bring many of my own supplies and toys, and I keep everything perfectly clean and tidy every visit The safety of your cats and your home are top priority by incorporating a few personal rules of my own: I double and triple check everything and I'm extremely conscientious upon entering an exiting the residence.
No two doors are ever open at the same time to prevent escapees and I don't go in and out of the house. I keep the cats eating area and litter box area pristine.
No request is overlooked. I want the cats time with me to be as close to the owners routine as possible.
I welcome requests from the homeowner regarding anything that they might need for me to watch or take care of while they're gone as I am your only liaison. I always scan the porch for packages,the driveway for papers or garbage cans that need to be taken in off the street and can collect the mail, I water inside and outside plants and vegetable gardens. I also take care of aero gardens, humidifiers, the lights and blinds. Birds or small animals or fish are also welcome additions
You would certainly be making an excellent choice for choosing me as your liaison, cat sitter and one who is in tune to the home as a whole!
Miss Cindy; as I'm warmly referred too! ☺️
Learn More About Cynthia
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a cat sitter for Meowtel since November 20, 2021. I have also owned as many as 12 cats and have much experience with many different illnesses and treatments
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting new people, and I love meeting you cats. My most favorite part of cat sitting is when you have a very surprising breakthrough with a shy or timid cat.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting reservation would definitely be one where all of the cats are super friendly and playful with me during the whole visit and I can engage them in different kinds of play
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have owned a total of 12 cats. Eight have went over the rainbow bridge. I currently have Oliver, who is our parking lot kitty, Nemo, who is our first special needs cat who is a tripod and a black cat, and I have the most darling bonded brother and sister gray tuxedo cats who are just adorable.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
First and foremost, look for somebody who is extremely trustworthy and conscientious, when it comes to, not only taking care of the cat, but the residence as well. While not always conducive, it is important that your cat sitter is closed just in case there is an emergency or inclement weather.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Respond quickly and be totally honest! Reach out right away and ask the customer when it’s convenient for them to have the first meet and greet. And then try to accommodate the request.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
My home policy is never have two doors open at the same time. That prevents all escaping possibilities hundred percent. if you are coming in through a front door with no screen, make sure you are absolutely ready with something in front of you to prevent any cat from coming out the front door and don’t go in until you’re hundred percent sure no one will escape Keyword, here is patience!
Are you usually available during holidays?
I try extremely hard to schedule my vacations before and after major holidays. The only holidays I have limited availability would be Christmas Eve in the evening, Christmas Day in the evening and Easter in the evening.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Hands-down, my favorite cat toy is the worm! I have a secret worm club with a list of my most favorite clients who love to play with the worm. I have even taught cats to hunt the worm under a simple kitchen towel. Hands-down, this is the best technique to get a timid cats attention.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Number one rule, let the cat get used to your presence first off. Be still, be slow, be calculated in your movements. Let the cat get used to you before you make any fast or sudden movements. Never give up on a cat. My motto is no kitty left behind. Whether I have to lay on the floor and talk to a cat under a bed or perhaps toss a toy underneath the bed to coax them out. I will do it visit after visit after Visit . I have had cats that have taken me as much as two reservations to finally come out and I have had cats that have taken 12 visits to come out from under a bed. It’s very rewarding when that happens. My greatest conquest would definitely have to be nutmeg and Ali.

As always, Cynthia did a tremendous job with our cats! She pays very close attention to how they are doing; this time, she let us know that one of our cats wasn’t eating her wet food-we let her know where we kept another flavor stashed in the pantry, and the change of pace was all our kitty needed to start eating again. Cynthia even introduced a new game to our cats to keep them stimulated! She really knows cats, and she is who we trust to take care of our kitties when we travel.

This past week was the second time Cynthia has watched baby Cruton for an entire week. Cynthia paid close attention to detail and went above and beyond what I asked for in care for Cruton. Cruton is a senior with anxiety and some tummy issues, and Cynthia made sure to ease into slowly earning her trust and also kept me in the loop with any issues she had. I will definitely always have Cynthia back whenever I am out of town. She is kind and goes above and beyond with her care and I can tell she is a true Cat lover. I’m so glad I found her!!

Cynthia is truly amazing. She got my notoriously shy cat who is a world class “hider” to come out and even play with her. She cleaned better than I could and kept me up to date with how everything was going. She’s a gem.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Cindy cares so much about the kitties she pet sits. She watches mannerisms and surroundings and will never hesitate to reach out to ask questions. We had a sutuation where my kitty needed to switch to wet food halfway through the visit schedule. Thank you Cindy for noticing and even being willing to go pick up extra food if needed. Cindy is an angel!!!

Cynthia, or Cindy as she's affectionately known in our household (and probably by every feline she's ever graced with her care!), is simply the BEST cat caretaker we could ever ask for. Dependable doesn't even begin to cover it. Knowing Cindy is looking after our furry overlords brings a level of peace of mind that's truly priceless. It's abundantly clear that Cindy doesn't just "watch" cats; she adores them. She treats them like her own, showering them with affection, gentle pets, and of course, the all-important treats! Beyond her genuine love for cats, Cindy is incredibly patient and understanding. Case in point: a recent scheduling mix-up on my end. Instead of being frustrated, Cindy was incredibly gracious and worked with me to ensure our kitties were still well-cared for. That level of understanding and flexibility is rare and so appreciated. And trustworthiness? Impeccable. We feel completely comfortable leaving our home and our precious fur babies in her capable hands. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, truly loves cats, and is a genuine pleasure to work with, look no further than Cindy. She's not just a cat caretaker; she's practically a feline whisperer and a lifesaver for us busy pet parents. Five enthusiastic stars just aren't enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+++🧶🐈🐾😻🐈⬛

Cyndi has cared for my two kitties and one betta fish twice — and she exceeded my expectations each time. About a month before my initial trip, Cyndi came to the house, met the kitties/fish, and walked through the routine with me (which includes ~ 12 pages of cat care / home basics). She asked a lot of great questions, studied them, and later asked more, just to clarify certain points. One of my kitties is ~ 16 years old and requires various types of medication. He can sometimes be difficult to pill — but Cyndi handled it like a pro. Both kitties can be finicky about eating when I’m gone; again, this wasn’t a problem for Cyndi. A few butt scoots and barfs happened while I was gone — I couldn’t even tell where they happened because Cyndi cleaned up so well. When I came home after Trip 1, both kitties came out and calmly greeted me — they didn’t give me their usual cold shoulder routine. I’ve been very impressed with Cyndi and how receptive my kitties (and fish) were to her — so much so that I try to schedule my personal trips around her schedule whenever possible. I highly recommend her services!

Cynthia has sat for my two boys twice. I forgot to review the first time, so I’m going to try and make up for it now. The first time she cared for my boys I had just moved them into a new place 3 days prior to my having to leave town. My younger one wouldn’t come out from under the couch, but Cynthia was gentle and patient, and by the time I was back both were happily settled into their new home. So when I had to leave town on short notice this past week, I was thrilled to see that Cynthia had availability. The boys remembered her instantly and it was obvious in the photos and videos how happy they were to have their new friend back to play with. Cynthia provides a level of love and care for the cats she sits that is rare, and I can’t imagine using anyone else going forward.

This is our second time with Cynthia and everything went very well again. She is thorough, attentive, communicative, and caring. Cynthia made it easier for us to be away from our cat on a long trip with consistent messages, updates, and photos. We really appreciate having someone we can trust we our cat!

Cynthia was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats. This was the first time we had been away from them for more than half a day and I was very anxious about it. We were gone for five days and she took excellent care of them. She is very diligent about not only sending updates after every visit, but also aftercare cleanup. Cynthia went out of her way to make sure the cats we’re getting fed on the agreed timetable, boxes cleaned frequently and a lot of playtime. I know the next time we go on a trip, she will be my go to pet sitter. 😸

Cynthia did an AMAZING job with my cats. All of my instructions were followed to the letter, even putting the garbage out and bringing the cans in. Our 20 year old cat needs Miralax and she even suggested a new and more efficient way for her to get the entire dose. (Previously we were putting into food, she suggested making it into a "broth" using some of the juices and then giving it to her via syringe). Very impressed! Her updates include more details than you can ever ask for which I really appreciate. It lets me know my cats are in great hands. Cindy has a way with cats and you can absolutely tell she is passionate about their care and welfare. I have already booked her for another upcoming trip.

What can I say about Cynthia? Everything positive! She took the time to befriend my shy kitty, and in no time both were following her about the house. Cynthia's updates are so detailed, and knowing that she loves cats as much as I do is extra reassuring. (And I'm the sort that has cat statues about the home.) Don't hesitate to book Cynthia!

This was our first time traveling together and leaving our cats since before the pandemic, so it was scary for all of us but Cynthia took the time to try and befriend them, even when they were being shy and hiding. My kitties were well cared for and content when we returned. I feel much better knowing I have someone I can trust to look after them when we are out of town!

Peace of mind purrfectly provided! We were so grateful to have Cynthia look after our kitties while we were away. Cynthia was incredibly attentive and caring, and our cats seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. We especially appreciated the daily updates with pictures, keeping everything immaculate and spending much time playing with them. We are able to enjoy our time away knowing they are well taken care of. We highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a top-notch cat sitter!

Cynthia is absolutely fantastic. She not only makes sure the kitties are well taken care of, but she also cleans everything in her wake by bringing her own supplies and plays with toys she brings. To say she’s prepared is an understatement. She truly cares about the care she’s providing, and she gave me so much peace of mind as a pet parent. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Cynthia has cared for my 3 kitties twice now. Most recently, she came over every day for 10 days while we were in Hawaii. My cats all have 3 different personalities, and she customizes her care and play time to make sure that they are all happy with the attention they get (2 of them) or to be left alone (1 of them). Cynthia is extremely detailed in her feeding and box cleaning process, and she provides daily updates that include pictures and videos. She even made sure our house was secured on a day that had very high winds. It makes vacation that much more relaxing to know that my babies were in the great hands of a caring professional while we were so far away from home.

This is the Second time I have used Cynthia. The second visit went just as well as the first one. I think the best part is coming home to such a clean house. There’s no garbage smell, everything is cleaned up and I don’t have to do a thing! She even took my garbage cans out for me and garbage day. She leaves the most wonderful loaf of bread and a nice welcome home letter too There is no one else I would trust my senior kitty to. Cynthia feeds my cat properly with her MiraLAX mixed in the food and she gives her a pill each time she visits. You have no worries when Cynthia comes to your home to Catsit!

Cynthia did an outstanding job taking care of my 18 year old deaf cat. Cynthia sent reassuring pictures and updates at each visit and my cat loved her! Cynthia pays special attention to every possible detail you would want when you allow someone to come into your home and care for your pet. Cynthia even brought in my mail and left the house and litter box area spotless. Cynthia is very conscientious about her work and I highly recommend her.

This is the second time we’ve used Cynthia to care for our 13 year old cat and once again she was fantastic. our cat is extremely shy and facing some health challenges and Cynthia was patient and informative and she left the litter boxes and surrounding areas cleaner than she found them! I will continue to use Cynthia every time I have a need.

Cynthia is a wonderful lady. She responded quickly to my reservation. She took such good care of Fritz and played with him, sending me pictures of their time together. Her daily updates were excellent. My house was respected, clean and tidy. She washed his bowls, cleaned the litter box and touch up vacuumed around it. I'm sure that Fritz was happy to stay in his own home rather than at a kennel. Cynthia returned my house key the day I returned home and baked me a small bread cake. So thoughtful. I will use Cynthia again when I am out of town. Thank you Cynthia!!!

My husband and I had to travel urgently so we had to book a cat sitter very quickly. We were lucky to find Cynthia available so we made the reservation in the app and she was able to meet us the same day. From the moment we started our conversation, Cynthia was very friendly and gave us confidence about her service. She explained clearly all considerations she takes and asked specifics about our kittens. She was very professional, our kitties loved her and we had a pleasant trip. Without hesitate we will choose Cynthia again.

Cindy did a great job with my 2 cats. She went above and beyond with cleanup as my one cats was a bit stressed and had a few accidents. She checked in after every visit and sent pictures of my kitties so I knew all was well at home. I will definitely use her again next time I need a sitter.

Cyndi did an absolutely fabulous job. This is the 3rd time I have reserved Cyndi and my cats love her. She spends a lot of time with them, petting and playing. She is meticulous in the feeding schedule, making sure the litterbox is clean and fiunctioning. She provides fresh water in clean bowls every day. I cannot give her a higher rating.

Cynthia, you are truly amazing and we are extremely grateful for your services while we were away for 2 weeks! Not only did you take good care of our 2 furbababies, you went above and beyond, and spent extra time playing with them. You took care of everything leaving us no worries ~ water, food, litter boxes, photos, and even bringing supplies and taking the rubbish with you ~ thank you for being so mindful & tidy. Your love of animals is abundantly apparent, and we are grateful to have you as part of our family now! Again, thank you!

I was very happy with Cynthia as a cat sitter. She was thorough and careful. She was very communicative with me throughout the week + that I was gone. I got an ***** every day. My cat doesn’t like most people, but Cindy still made the extra effort to get a look at her each day to be sure the cat was OK. I would definitely use Cindy’s cat sitting services again.

Cynthia went above and beyond for my three cats while we were away! After just moving to the area, I was nervous to leave them with just anyone. But Cynthia proved to not only be kind and gentle with them, but she even cleaned up any messes and played with them plenty! They were very happy when we returned home and had plenty of food and water.

As a repeat client, my cats loved and recognized Cynthia. She stayed as long as she could and did a thorough job again, with plenty of pics and words afterwards. Cynthia will be my go-to from now on!

PURRfect job! First time using Cynthia. Got many photos and videos to put my mind at ease that both my cats were doing well. She cleaned up after them, played with them and went above and beyond!

Cyndi did a great job. Both my cats seemed to love her and she was very communicative which made it stress free. Cyndi spent a lot of time playing with them which I know they enjoyed. Will use her and Meowtel again.

This is my 2nd time using Cynthia and I couldn't be happier. She takes of my cats like they are her own. I received daily updates with pictures so I knew everything was okay.

Cindy was incredibly thorough and professional, from our messages to the first meet-up to the pet care. Our home was kept so clean and nice. We received daily updates about the pets, along with photos. I was nervous to use a pet sitting service rather than someone I knew, but Cindy was so professional and made me comfortable and confident that our animals were well cared for. I would absolutely be happy to have Cindy back again in the future. Her services and responsiveness really made our time away stress-free. Highly recommend!

Cynthia is a gem, plain and simple. Her pictures and videos are wonderful and her detailed reports are great. She succeeds in charming even our shy little one out of her shell.

My cats are ‘repeat customers’ with Cynthia. As always, she did a great job with their food, meds, cleaning up after them. they are very wary of strangers, but have really warmed up to her thanks to her gentle nature!

Cynthia was great. She was consistent with communication and updated me on everything she did. I appreciate having someone I can trust to take care of my kitties.

There’s no one else I would rather trust my cats with than Cynthia. One of my cats was sick before we went out of town and steadily declined as we were gone. Cynthia gave us detailed updates twice a day. Not only did she thoroughly clean up many spots of throw up and diarrhea, she took my cat to an emergency vet hospital 40 minutes away and was there for 3 hours until we decided the cat needed to be hospitalized. She is very dedicated to the health and well being of the animals that are in her temporary care and truly loves and cares for them. You couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter.
Claire

Cynthia continues to impress. She has now sat for my two boys a number of times and I never have to worry about whether or not they’re getting all the attention they need. I will continue to recommend her to all my friends and colleagues in the area.

Cynthia is the best cat sitter that I have ever experienced !!! She was engaged with my cat, brought her own „magic” toys, sent pictures and videos of him after each visit. When we came home, place was sparkling clean, and there was a delicious chocolate chip bread with a welcoming note waiting for us. Thank you!

This was our first reservation with Meowtel and Cynthia. Cynthia not only took care of the necessities (boxes, Food, water, vomit, etc) but she also spent time playing with our boys in our absence. She provided very detailed updates and plenty of photos so that we could be assured we left our furbabies in good hands!
Kim

Cynthia was amazing! She was very communicative in every aspect and very quick to respond. She was great about asking for clarification if she wasn't sure what we or our kitties needed. She brings all her own supplies and treats your house respectfully and I swear she had the room the kitty boxes are in even cleaner than we left! We were super impressed and so were our cats, her updates showed she spent quality time with them each visit and they loved her toy bag the most! She definitely went above and beyond for our girls! We're already rebooking her for our next trip!

I was going to Europe for a really long trip, the longest I would ever be away from my cats. Cynthia took great care of my girls and provided detailed updates every day. She even had the patience to make friends with my shyest kitty, who she has never even gotten to see on previous visits. My cats got wonderful care and attention.
Danielle

My cat Fynn is a repeat customer of Cynthia. He’s a snuggler and does not like to be alone. Cynthia is wonderful about feeding him, playing with him, and living in him. She even hung out with him during a thunder storm because she noticed how anxious he was. Fynn says we definitely need Cynthia to visit next time I go on a trip.

Reservation is quick and easy. Cynthia always accommodates any request and more. She is very caring not just with the pets but with the house as well. She loves playing with the cats and the cats love her back. She is very professional, nice and kind. I will always book her if I can for all my future needs for cat sitting.

Cynthia came to watch our kitties again and did not disappoint! They absolutely love her and her bag of goodies. She diligently makes sure not only your kitties but your house is taken care of. We get updates throughout the visit and they looked like they were having the time of their life hanging out with Cynthia!

Need a sitter for your cat? Let me save you the time searching for one...hire Cynthia! We were in need of a cat sitter with short notice to take care of our 3 cats for 4 days. Cynthia came over for a meet and greet within hours after making a reservation. She is professional, caring, kind, thoughtful, and loves cats. She kept us updated after each visit and shared many photos via the easy-to-use Meowtel app. Areas around the litter box and food were always kept clean using her own cleaning supplies. She played with the cats and I felt comforted that they were in good hands. If you want a mature individual that will provide the kind of care to your felines like you provide, look no further. She does so much more than just change the litter box and provide food and water. Worth every penny!! Give her a shot. You'll receive a great experience and never worry again about finding someone to care for your cats in the future, whether you need her for one day or an extended visit. You won't be disappointed!!

Cynthia is amazing. My cat Fynn was the happiest I have ever seen him during her visits and after I returned home. Cynthia sends photos and updates after each visit. She goes above and beyond to make sure you and your fur baby are comfortable and happy. I am booking with her any time I travel.
