Cheerful pet lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve always enjoyed taking care of my family and neighbors pets! I am the designated “animal” person as I love everything from walking to hanging out with a furry friend for an hour, or several days. I am very friendly with pets of all ages and breeds, and I love getting the chance to walk, play, or hang out with in whatever way the pet likes!

Sidney was absolutely incredible with our two pups. It is hard for us to take trips because we don’t trust our dogs to just anyone. The minute we met Sidney we knew they would be so well looked after. She sent us regular updates and photos and was overall amazing!

She took excellent care of my baby parrots and my cat and my fish while I was on vacation at Disney world I was able to enjoy my vacation with Peace of mind. She sent me pics everyday and they were really nice cute pics. She gave my animals good company and I really appreciate it.

Information Sidney D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance your pets personality, especially when their parent is away from home! This helps me gauge how to approach them, as well as typical behavior to expect, and how to generally anticipate when they are uncomfortable/not themselves. I like to hear all their quirks because it allows me to be a better sitter for them :) It’s also great to know if a pet enjoys a specific spot in the house, toy, or walk route!

A typical day

I enjoy having a companion on my daily walks, study sessions, or to join me during my relaxing time reading or watching TV! Pets of any age and energy level are welcome!! I am a very friendly person, and I have plenty of experience with a variety of personalities. I’m well acquainted to different energy levels from a variety of exposure to young pets and many seniors too. As for walks, I enjoy going to the local walking parks, as well as many different destination parks like Gray’s Lake and Walnut Woods.

I recently made a more permanent move back to school for my junior year of college. When I moved, I unfortunately had to leave my childhood pets with my parents. I truly cherished the time I had with my pups, but I still am left with a hole because of the constant joy they brought me. Getting the chance to spend time with other family’s pets fills my heart up! My schedule can be flexible, so I’m happy to adjust to fit individual needs. I would love to spend any time I can with your lovely animals :)
