Work From Home Animal Lover 🥰

Hello, Austin dog lovers! I’m Sidney 👋🏾 thank you for sharing your beautiful pets with me! 🐾 I work from home, so your pups (and kitties!) will get all the cuddles, love, and attention they deserve. I live in a spacious 1,100 sq. ft. apartment with plenty of room for play, rest, and relaxation (plus a cozy balcony that’s perfect for a little afternoon sunbathing or fresh-air lounging). Our community is super pet-friendly, with open grassy areas, walking trails, and a large dog park that’s usually empty (which means more space for your dog to run, play, and explore safely!). Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, a peaceful stroll, or just rolling in the grass, we’ve got the perfect setup. I’m a California girl with a big heart and a love for both people and animals. When I’m not frolicking in the sunshine or spending time in nature, you’ll find me singing, dancing, planning my next travel adventure, or finding ways to bring a smile to someone’s face. I believe life is a gift and I’m excited to live it fully every day! 🌞 I’ve cared for my own pets for over ten years, and in college, I was the go-to pet sitter for my professors’ animals. I even spent years walking dogs all over NYC! Animals are honestly better than humans, they each have their own personality and soul. I understand that your pets are family, and I’ll love and care for them as if they were my own. Can’t wait to meet you ✨

Sidney was great with Summer! It was our first time having her watch Summer, and Sidney took such amazing care of her and sent frequent updates. Summer had a great time - will use again!

We absolutely loved Sidney! She took such great care of our dog while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. She kept our home spotless, communicated regularly with updates, and was always easy to reach whenever we had questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Sidney and hope to book with her again for our next trip!

Sidney and Louis were absolutely amazing and made us feel at ease when leaving our sweet girl for the weekend. We do not normally use sitters we do not know, so it was important to have great communication. Throughout the time we were gone, we received pictures and text updates letting us know that Paloma was feeling right at home! She went on lots of walks, which we greatly appreciated. I would recommend Sidney to anyone in the Austin area looking for a reliable pet sitter. She is a ray of sunshine!
