“Zulma is phenomenal! Great communication (and fast) and tons of photos and even though I gave her a ton of little things to have to think about (like the automatic feeder and the door lock situation) it was no problem for her and she was so reassuring the whole time. Will be hiring her again 100%”

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I live and work from home right here in Edgewater, so I’m never far from your pet when they need me. My flexible schedule means I can provide care throughout the day — from quick potty breaks to longer walks and plenty of cuddles in between. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member. That’s why I always focus on safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to home as possible. I’m experienced with apartment and condo access, key fobs, and managing pets in busy city environments. Living near Margaret Pace Park and the Baywalk, I know all the best spots for safe and fun walks — whether it’s a calm stroll for a senior pup or some extra playtime for an energetic one. You can expect: Prompt updates with photos/videos Flexible scheduling to fit your needs Plenty of love and attention for your pet Reliability you can count on I work from home full-time, so I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs. Whether you need a quick midday walk, multiple visits, or a specific time each day, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet is cared for when you need it most. I’ve cared for my own Goldendoodle for nearly 10 years, so I understand the importance of safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention, fresh water, and a clean, cozy space. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own — following your instructions, keeping everything tidy, and ensuring your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m always mindful of safety on walks, especially around busy streets, elevators, and in Miami’s heat.

About: Having/caring for pets has always been my favorite thing to do since I was a kid. I’m a perfectionist so I always make sure all pets are clean/eat/bathe properly I’m currently working from home and a dog mom so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets, no dogs will get out of my sight. I have a puppy to make sure your dog won’t get bored. I can help train basic stuff as well if needed and see fit. I once potty trained my 7.5 weeks puppy successfully in 2 weeks.
