Pet care experience
**I am fully adhering to the social-distancing recommendations and mask-wearing policies. Hygiene and health are of upmost importance to me. *After spending the past year sitting for repeat clients and friends only, I am now available and ready to care for your all of your pets :) I'm literally obsessed with all kinds of animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. I've done house sitting and dog watching for family friends and neighbors since I was in High School. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for people and places and things (pets) is natural for me. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am usually able to work around your needs! I'm fun, responsible, clean, and probably just as obsessed with your pet(s) as you are! I love being outside and going on walks. I have experience with all age ranges of dogs and cats. I am comfortable giving medicine (insulin, eye drops, pills, etc.) as well as enforcing whatever training techniques you have in place. Just let me know! *FOR HOUSESITTING, PLEASE READ: -I am still available for housesitting, however, my 2-year-old dog Nora will likely need to come with. I ensure that when I housesit I am there full-time. So, if you have a dog that loves other dogs and are comfortable with Nora and me there, let's chat :) If this isn't something you are comfortable with, I still may be able to accommodate- or will at least connect you with other friends on Rover! **My prices are not set in stone-I am open to making something work with your budget.
Reviews
Sidney was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! This was our first time using a house sitter and she was very patient with all my notes and questions. We loved getting regular updates/photos throughout the stay and felt comfort knowing that our dog was in great care. We will definitely request Sidney again!
Sidney was amazing! She was so sweet with our cats and was even able to draw the shy one out to play. She was a great communicator and took lots of pictures for us. Our minds were at ease the whole time we were away. We would call her again in a heartbeat for our next trip!
Sidney is great to work with and kept us updated throughout her stay.
Sidney was a great person to have. We trust her with Joe and he loves her. We definitely would want to use her services again.
About Sidney B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very hands on and involved when caring for pets. I have no problem sticking to their familiar routines and enforcing your expectations while you are away!
Information Sidney B. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences- but I would definitely like to know any health/medical/behavioral problems your pet may have. For example, does your dog fear other dogs? Does your dog need medications given to them? Does your dog have a bad back leg that I need to be careful with when jumping on and off furniture or on walks? I am comfortable dealing with all these but prefer not to be surprised :)
A typical day
The most important thing you should know is that when I am scheduled to watch your pets, they are my only priority. Walks, cuddles, belly rubs, squirrel chases, deep conversations (ha ha), play time with toys, hanging out outside (I love the outdoors-especially walking around lakes), maybe learning new tricks (the high-five is my favorite), general down time, dog park visits, and anything else that your pet normally does with you. Pet anxiety is normal so doing things they are used to definitely helps ease anxiety. I will be sure to wear them out to make the night run smoother.
