Dog trainer +1st aid+CPR certified

Pet care experience

I have 10 years of experience in the pet industry! I am pet first aid and CPR certified. I am very experienced in administering insulin, pilling, etc. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahua’s to Cane Corso’s. All ages, sizes, and breeds! No restrictions here! I have much experience walking different breeds and can even train better leash manners! I am a full time dog trainer as well for work. I can do anything from walking, staying the night, administering medications, feeding, training and loving your pups! I am very precise and follow directions. I have a bunch of recommendations if needed! And impressive resume on hand also. You will not regret trusting me with your pup!

Sid was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive during the drop in and offered tips to support with our dog’s reactivity training! He was prompt and professional. Would recommend!

Sid did an amazing job watching Conway Twitty. We struggle sometimes finding the right fit on Rover for our boy because he is dog-aggressive and a major stresser for us when we leave is that his sitter keeps him away from other dogs. Sid addressed this head on by letting us know about their experience with dog-aggressive dogs and senior dogs (conway is 12). It made us feel really comfortable while we were out of town. Sid also sent over numerous photos throughout our trip to show us that Conway was taken care of and happy (our favorite thing to see). It really made our trip so much more peaceful knowing our boy was taken care of. I would highly recommend Sid for any dog sitting needs you have.

I hired Sid after reading some reviews about how well he did with reactive dogs. I’ve got two pups and it seems like he handled them great! He loves animals and had great attention to detail. Our home was clean when we returned and we had 2 happy pups!

Sid was an amazing house sitter for my 8 year old Husky (Snow). He’s a rescue dog and still reactive on walks. Sid took great care of Snow and my mind was at such ease during my 5 day trip. He kept me updated and my dog absolutely loved him. We did a meet and greet and I was already confident that he had sufficient training / experience to manage my dog who can be a lot of work. (Possessive, guarding, reactivity). I received regular messages and photos about their whereabouts and he was always responsive both before and during sitting. He went above and beyond standard care but really made sure my dog was exercised, and mentally stimulated by taking him on hikes and other adventures. I will absolutely book Sid again. If you are considering house sitting, in addition to taking good care of my dog, he left my house super clean and organized. Thanks Sid!

No breed restrictions here! I love all the pups! I’d want to know schedules, directions, medication info (if any), triggers,etc. The more I know about your baby, the better our relationship will be and grow :)

A typical day

A typical day with me and your pup will consists of waking up early (or not, it's your pups schedule I stick to) making some breakfast for us both and then off to a nice adventure. I will always follow routes suggested or just ones your pup is used to in their routine. I know how important routine is for animals when their parents are away. I like to make that a very easy transition.I am very experienced with reactive and aggressive dogs on leash as well. So I can handle it and correct it with specific training methods.
