About Sidney D.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.
Information Sidney D. would like to know about your pet
I understand that some pets require a little extra patience, attention, and care. Whether your pet is a senior, has mobility limitations, experiences anxiety, follows a strict medication schedule, or simply has unique needs, I’m committed to providing compassionate, attentive care tailored to them. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and comfort level, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and loved while you’re away.
A typical day
I love making sure pets have fun while their owners are away! Depending on your pet’s personality and needs, that might mean long walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, enrichment activities, plenty of playtime, or simply lots of cuddles and companionship. For cats, I enjoy interactive play sessions, wand toys, treats, and giving them the attention (or space!) they prefer. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, engaged, and comfortable while you’re gone.

Pet care experience
I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for all kinds of animals; from cats and dogs to rabbits, ferrets, spiders, and even the occasional rescue critter. I also have experience caring for chickens and ducks, so I'm comfortable looking after a wide variety of pets and farm animals. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel happiest when I'm surrounded by them. I absolutely adore cats! Their unique personalities and quiet cuddles never fail to make me smile.. & I love the companionship, energy, and joy that dogs bring. Whether it's playtime, long walks, feeding routines, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I would give my own.

Reviews
Sidney has been great for walks with our dog Patrick the Pug! He loves her and she’s always reliable and goes the extra mile to look after him. Highly recommend
Sidney is so wonderful with our sweet pug! We trust her deeply and she is a great communicator and very flexible with our somewhat unpredictable schedules.
Amazing, took great care of my girl! Thank you so much for the help!
We will definitely be booking with Sidney again. She provided such thoughtful updates and adorable photos. We felt so comfortable with her caring for your pets while we were away.
