Amazing Tails

To call Cynthia merely a dog walker or a dog sitter is to do her a disservice. She is truly a dog whisperer (and is great with animals of all kinds, despite being slightly allergic to cats). She’s known our dog since puppyhood and has taken care of her in numerous situations – sometimes for a vacation, sometimes during a long day out, sometimes popping in for a walk. She’s taken our dog to the vet in emergencies (and helped us stay calm!). She’s allowed us to enjoy our vacations without worrying for a second about whether our pup is in good hands. She has tried to teach our dog not to pull on her leash (but none of us has had much success in that if we’re being honest!). And she’s ridiculously kind, flexible, and reliable. We’re so lucky to have Cynthia in our lives. I highly recommend her and her many gifts with animals to anyone looking for someone great to care for their pet!

What can I say about Cynthia that hasn’t already been said. She truly seems to love my dog & what she does. Personally that is incredibly important to me to know lisa, my furbaby, is well taken care of if not by me. Every time Lisa sees Cynthia she gets so excited and to me that’s verification enough that my normally nervous dog is being loved. Decides for the care of my dog Cynthia is very flexible and has never let me down when I needed it.

Our neighbor and friend recommended Cynthia when we adopted an 8-​week old hound/​retriever mix. We were nervous to leave our baby in anyone’s care, but Cynthia was a dream come true. Our dog Landon fell in love with her immediately, and always looked forward to their afternoon walks. Less than a month after we got him, we went away for a week on a trip we had planned much earlier in the year. Cynthia stayed in our apartment and was with him ²⁴⁄₇. She sent us photos every day, bought him some new toys which he loved, and even taught Landon how to go down the stairs (which he had been afraid to do until then) and walk better on his leash.
Since Cynthia left New York, we haven’t taken a trip without the dog. There’s no one we trust as much as her. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

Cynthia is fantastic and there is no one I trust more to look after the well-​being our dog. She’s kind, patient, & able to earn the trust of your animal in short order. She took our dog for great walks, gave out helpful training advice, and was always dependable. Highly recommended.

First of all, let me start by saying how very, very, very much I miss Cynthia. These other reviews are no joke. When Cynthia came into my life, she totally transformed my relationship with my puppy Lola, and created a community all around us of loving, amazing pet owners and pets that is still solid, even after her move from Brooklyn (just writing this chokes me up).
My puppy Lola — who has anxious tendencies like her mama ;) — flourished around Cynthia. She has a way with animals that is truly indescribable. She isn’t your dog walker, she is your family, and she treats your pet as such, with intense devotion, care, love, and appreciation. She takes her time and develops a unique relationship with every animal in her care.
If you love your pet (which I know you do) and need a reliable, trusting, hilarious, calming, immensely special person to take good care of him when you cannot, please do not go to anyone but Cynthia. She is TRULY your dog’s best friend. They will adore her, and so will you.

When my girlfriend and I booked a dream vacation to St. Martin, the only thing we had to figure out was who was going to take care of our two dogs, Deacon and Noli, both rescues and bully breeds. My go-​to was my usual walker, whom I adore, only to find that she wasn’t available. She did, however, give me a recommendation, Cynthia. I’m not sure why, but I just had this gut instinct that she’d be fantastic. Cynthia came over to our apartment to meet me, my girlfriend, and of course, our dogs that we love like they’re our children. She was super chill, easy going, our dogs just gravitated towards her, we knew they would be in great hands.
While on our relaxing vacation, not once did I question if Deacon and Noli were being taken care of or worry about what they were doing. I knew they were having a great time, and we had pictures taken by Cynthia when we got home to prove it!
While Cynthia was great with our dogs, she was also extremely respectful of our living space. I’ve heard stories of apartments being super dirty when people got back from a trip, but our place looked great! I would recommend Cynthia to anyone, Portland’s canine community is lucky to have her!

Portland pet owners– I am insanely jealous of you! Why? Because you now have our beloved Cynthia (who recently moved there from Brooklyn) — a wonderful friend, animal lover and incredibly generous human being. Cynthia took wonderful care of our little goldendoodle Peanut– in fact, I think Peanut was more excited to see her Auntie Cynth than us! We joked that Cynthia speaks «dog» as she and Peanut seem to have a truly special friendship and a shared passion for the Golden Girls. Cynthia is reliable, trustworthy and dedicated to taking care of your pet. Peanut misses her tons and I know that you folks in Portland will love her as much as we do!

Cynthia and her company are the cream of the cream. When you want a dog walker & dog sitter to be almost, «you», she is the one. She has a rare gift of communing with your 4 legged friend, as well as instinctively knowing and understanding your canine.
Having a Jack Russell, they have their own particulars. Cynthia taps right into my Amy dog. They both really love and enjoy the time they have together; while I’m away.
You want to put her number on your speed dial, so you always have it. A must have !
