About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

“Sylvia was fantastic! I didn’t have to worry about a thing while i was on my trip. She let me know when she arrived and she took plenty of pictures! I’m very appreciative of how she cared for my boy and will definitely have her check in on him next time i’m away!”

About: I've had animals since I was 6 and have had more dogs than cats, but still am very good with both! I love animals with a passion and love spending time playing with them. Any chance to make a dog or cat feel happy, I will take. Nothing better than an excited bark and a comfortable meow! I have a lot of time on weekends & weekdays when you may want to go out, and some early morning when you're off to work! I cannot take care of animals in my own house due to me having 3 really big and playful dogs.. 😅🫶 I'm currently employed part time looking for a second job, so I'll have plenty of time to play with pups and care for your feline friends.. especially on weekends when you might want to go out! On weekdays most times are acceptable, and I have the most time during those early to late hours depending on the day. 🐾🐈⬛️💖 I mostly would like to care for your pet in your own home simply because I have 3 bigger and more playful dogs at home. However, it is not needed for simple dog walks or trips to the park. I love watching over animals!

“Brittany took care of Patches as if she were her own fur baby! Brittany went above and beyond when Patches was struggling due to my extended trip. When I returned home, Patches was very calm and content as a direct result of Brittany's care!”
“Sydney was wonderful! We were gone for 7 days and opted for 2 check-ins daily (morning and evening) for our 2 cats whom recently began going outside during the day. She would let them out in the morning and close them back in at night. Access to their AirTags helped confirm where they might be at the end of the day. Her visits also included the ever-yucky cleaning of a cat box and additionally, she made sure that our rat was medicated, had food/water and that the fish were fed. She was prompt, consistent, caring and 100% professional. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Sydney, I hope we can call on you again!”
