"We're so happy you could accommodate our vacation. When we got back the only thing we cared about was two healthy, happy animals and that's exactly what we got. You picked up on and appreciated the personality quirks of our kitties, in fact, I'll probably be using your 'making biscuits' expression from now on, it suits Riv perfectly. We're happy to be back home and happy to be back with the guys. Thanks so much for providing such great care and for seeing to their well-being."

Jeff and Della, Riv and Milo's Dad and Mom

 

"I decided to try out in home pet sitting for my 2 older babies, Mazzy,12 and Sam,10, who, after happily going to kennels for years, had started to get weirded-out by the experience in their grey-bearded years. They were immediately thrilled to have Cynthia as their new best friend when she visited with them twice daily for a week over the holidays. I could tell when I got home that they had received nothing but great care; walks, play, love, it was obvious. Not only did Cynthia send me a couple text messages throughout the week keeping me updated on their latest hi-jinks, when I got home I found a daily diary for both Mazzy and Sam loaded with great observations and noting their time together. All in all, a very pleasant experience. I'll never board Mazzy and Sam again, I will definitely give them the pleasure of Cynthia's companionship the next time I travel. Thank you!"

Kim, Mazzy and Sam's Mom

"A recent week-long trip finally motivated me to look into pet sitting services...after years of asking favors of friends and neighbors. A colleague recommended Chicago-Pets...they are wonderful! My three cats seemed calmer than usual when I returned home (instead of snubbing me for at least a day). I could tell they received some attention from the sitter, in addition to food and litter necessities. The sitter also left a detailed note, which was a nice touch. I will definitely be using Chicago-Pets every time I take a trip out of town!"

Michelle, Lucy, ZuZu and Chloe's Mom

"Seriously, Chicago-Pets does rule! I love this service and so does my guy Howie. I am fairly new to using this type of a service but decided to give it a try for the Thanksgiving weekend. I did not want to board Howie, he hadn't been feeling well and a friend of mine recommended I try out a sitter who would come to my home and recommended Chicago-Pets. The How I came home to was a happier guy than I ever picked up at the kennel. Seems the attention and exercise Jim gave him was the cure for whatever was ailing him. He was perky, energetic and while he was happy to see me, I could tell he hadn't been lonely. Jim left a note after each visit telling me what they did, how he was and I noticed he was paying close attention to how Howie was feeling. I loved reading those notes. He also left a few special doggy Thanksgiving treats for me to give Howie when I got home. He loved them and I've been using Chicago-Pets ever since. No more kennels, Chicago-Pets is where it's at!"

Paul, Howie's Dad

"Coming from Florida, Brutus our kitty had a wonderful pet-sitter. Someone I consider a friend. She loves Brutus almost as much as we do so finding him the right sitter was going to be a challenge. Nothing but the best for our baby. In comes Cynthia. Not surprisingly, Brutus took to her immediately. Next he met Hylda. Love at first sight. Well that was enough for me because Brutus knows who is kind and who will treat him with love and gentleness like we do. We left him for 3 weeks the first time. I was updated via email and texts. Hylda even sent pictures of our baby. I was happy and relieved to see he was doing so well. Second time we left him I was even more relaxed. This was for a week. When we get home he is always so sparkling clean and shiny just like when we left him. I know he has great care when we are not here…thank you..: Brutus is my baby and knowing he is well cared for is all I ask for. Thank you Cynthia, thank you Hylda……….Brutus found in you another "mom" that takes as good care of him as we do!!"

Nadiya & Arvid, Brutus's Mom and Dad

"We feel so lucky to have found Chicago-Pets, and are incredibly grateful to Cynthia for her kindness and flexibility. We have two cats, one of which needs to receive daily medication for a heart condition. Cynthia happily accommodated our needs and kept in touch with us while we were away, just to let us know that everyone was fine--which really helped us enjoy our vacation, worry-free. We have and will continue to recommend Cynthia and Chicago-Pets without hesitation.

Thank you Chicago-Pets for being so awesome!"

Kristen and Dale, Mom and Dad of Genghis and Mierin

"I am fortunate to have found a person like Cynthia who treats every pet as if they were her own. She has taken the time to not only care for my pets but also get to know their personalities. There are not many people that I trust my babies with that are not family but Cynthia is one of those people."

Amy B., Snappy, McKayla and Maximoo’s Mom

"I can’t go on enough about Chicago-Pets. Not only have I had an amazing experience with them, but so has my big buddy Boudreaux. I contacted Chicago-Pets for daily dog walks after trying out a few different dog walking services in the city and just not feeling the puppy-love I thought I, or Bou, should. Cynthia got back with me quickly, scheduled an orientation visit for me, Bou and our dog walker, Hylda, within a couple days of my initial inquiry, and the rest is history. Bou is happy, I’m happy and I can tell that Hylda is pretty darn happy too. Chicago-Pets has also spent the night with Bou a couple times when I needed to be away for more than a night, which is great. No boarding, no stress, and an added layer of security – we love it! They’ve been reliable and professional in the service they provide me, and fun, attentive and super caring for Bou --- It’s a match made in Heaven, as far as I’m concerned there is NO other service in the city that compares."

Bill Y., Boudreaux’s Dad

"Being a pet-owner herself, Cynthia has the skill and compassion needed to give my three cats the same care and love that I give them myself. She has dealt with the special needs of my elder cats, who require medication and extra attention, that I wouldn't trust to just anyone. I hate to leave my girls alone, but I always know that they are in good hands with Cynthia."

Susan J., Mom of Pie, Lumpo, Kay and Toki

"Cynthia has quickly become Daisy’s new best friend. Daisy was always anxious and frantic when we picked her up from doggie camp after being gone for a few days. She is so much happier with Chicago Pets looking after her at home, so now we can’t bear to take her to a kennel. They make sure to spend good, quality time with Daisy when we can’t. We always get fun, detailed notes of what happened during their outings and since Cynthia picks up on D’s little habits and idiosyncrasies, we know she’s relaxed and comfortable. She’s a spoiled girl, but never more so than when she is in Cynthia’s care. Chicago Pets RULE!"

Shana and Josh, Daisy’s Mom and Dad

"When Cynthia came to look after me I was all like 'you're not my mom,’ but by the end of our visit, I was like 'Mom-who?' I jest. See, I smelled other feline on her and figured she probably knew what was doing. And she did! She freshened my water, refilled my food bowl and I showed her how I like to play with string. To be honest, I could've used a couple more of those yummy, organic treats. But I think my Mom told her I'm watching my weight. Anyway, Cynthia's ear and chin rubs are to die for. purrrrrrrrrrrr….I give her 4 paws!"
