Wags And Wiggles

Once again I am impressed as always with this women. I can’t tell you enough how trustworthy she is when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am a firm believer that my dogs care for her more than they care for us. I realized why they get excited when we start packing our bags to go out of town. At first I always thought they thought they were comin, but it now finally makes sense. Cindy had to come over after we got back because I forgot to leave her a check. My dogs started howling as she pulled in the driveway. They then proceeded to energetically run back and forth until I opened the door. They attacked her with kisses. I now understand…

Cindy is exactly what you want in a pet sitter — friendly, responsible, almost always available and, most importantly, good to your pets. While our pets (two cats) can’t tell us verbally what they think of sitters, we can totally tell when we get home how they felt. When Cindy sits for them, they are always relaxed and happy and we know that she’s done a great job taking care of them.

Cindy is fantastic — sweet, attentive to details and made the extra effort to befriend my very anti-​social cat. She’s always able to make time for us, even when I call her last-​minute (which is almost always). She even had her daughter Erin (also great) fill in for her on one of the rare occasions when Cindy was out of town. Very happy to have found her!

If you’re a pet mom you know that finding a responsible, trustworthy petsitter is as important and challenging as finding a babysitter. I’m so glad I found Cindy! She exceeded my expectations — from the thorough notes she took when we met about my cats likes & dislikes to the email she sent just to let me know all was good. I feel terrific knowing that Cindy’s watching the ‘babies’ while I’m away.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to add to Cindy’s list of 5 star reviews.
We adopted a 10 yr old dog this time last year and over the course of the first few months of owning her, discovered that she is not friendly with other dogs or children (which her previous owners concealed in an effort to find her a home while they moved across the country, but that’s another story). 4^th of July was our first weekend away when we had to find a dog sitter b/​c she was not welcome at the vacation house since there’d be lots of kids and children there. A combination of waiting too long to look for a daycare and Sofi’s social problems made finding a sitter difficult even using Unilocal.After having no luck with the drop off daycare centers, we finally came across Cindy’s listing here and luckily she was available and more than willing to help us on short notice.
Cindy’s approachable demeanor took a huge load off and dissolved all of the stress that had built up. It was also was such a relief to hand our house key over to someone that seemed immediately trustworthy and professional. Sofi loved her too! We will definitely call her again the next time we need a dog walker.

Oh gosh. I didn’t even realize we gave Cindy a 5 star review and never updated it. Cindy is very nice, but I would not recommend her for cat sitting.
We asked Cindy to come by twice a day this past Christmas and warned her that one of our cats has been peeing outside of the litter box (which started around the time our son was born). We came back from a somewhat stressful vacation to find that the closet door next to our front door was open and the cat had peed on his car seat. Then we find a towel she left on top of the laundry that was soaked with cat pee. When confronted about this, she says that she can only smell poop, not pee. Are you serious? This towel was absolutely rancid with cat urine and the closet smelled like cat pee. Needless to say, we haven’t used her since.

My two cats are so happy when me and my husband come home from our vacations. Cindy makes every effort to remember all of the things my cats love. Laser beam, water coming out of the tub of course, and running through their new favorite the tube.
She also takes care of my garden and waters my plants, Cindy is the best!

Cindy is fabulous. She is super nuturing and funny and I couldn’t be happier to leave town and my pets in her care. She comes by and actually spends time with my cat and snuggles with him so he doesn’t get too lonely. I’ve heard she is great with dogs too and takes them for long walks. She is very affordable and super reliable and I am svery staisfied with her service!

Cindy takes great care of our cats when we are out of town. She took the time to find out all about their dispositions, likes and dislikes and behaviors, and tailored her care to fit their needs. Its great to be able to travel and know that our beloved pets are in capable, caring hands!

I recently moved to Montclair and had to look for new pet sitters, which you’ve probably realized, is not the easiest thing to do — particularly when you’re in a hurry. This was a week-​long trip, the longest I’d been away from my pups and they weren’t really used to the new house yet.
Cindy was so laid back and on top of things at the same time that I felt comfortable checking out her services, also because the pups liked her right away. When I missed a flight home, Cindy picked up right away, (which I always like to see,) and was so easy going about adding another visit if they needed it.
A lot of other pet sitters have charged me full price for visits I cancelled, even within the cancellation window, and it’s so refreshing that Cindy’s more like a friend watching your pups than a bottom-​line minute-​watching agency who’re clearly only driven by the cash.
The thing is, I’ll book Cindy all the time now, probably more than I did with the other sitters because she’s a great personality and security match too. You can just feel that she’s got everything covered and will take care of your animals as if they were her own.
Definitely, check Cindy out, even if you already have another sitter — I bet you’ll switch!
