Responsible animal-lover

Hi! I’m Sidney, I love all animals and it’s truly important for me to make sure pets are happy and loved when their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much anxiety leaving pets behind brings when travelling. It’s so important to me to make sure the pets I care for receive the same kind of love I would want for my own cat. Skills & Experience: -Cared for family dogs and cats for 17 years, including daily walks. Provided pet-sitting for 15+ years -Current cat owner of 1 cat for 5 years. -Provided drop-in visits and overnight dog-sitting through rover for 3 years I’d love to help out with drop-ins and walking in a regular basis in my neighborhood. I work 9-6 on weekdays, so I can do morning and evening walks and drop-ins. Also, I can do over night pet-sitting as needed. I’m very responsible and reliable. I truly enjoy playing and interacting with both dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I would love to help you make having a pet more do-able and stress-free!

Sidney is absolutely amazing and a lifesaver! My two pups are a bit of a challenge as they are very protective of me and they like very few people. They loved Sidney from the start. She took such great care of them while I was away, and kept me informed all along the way with updates and photos. I had planned for her to stay overnight and to work from my home if that was easier for her, and stocked my kitchen with food, but I don’t think she ate a bite of food, and she left my home immaculately clean, plants watered, Amazon deliveries stacked inside, and everything I could have asked for! What a wonderful surprise when I arrived home late from my trip well after midnight because of flight delays beginning on the East Coast! In addition, Sidney is just the sweetest, kindest person you will meet:-) Thank you, Sidney. You are the best!

Sidney is wonderful! She is very responsive, responsible, and communicates on timing of visits and anything else that comes up. She’s my new go-to sitter!

Sidney did a great job with our kitten! She was very punctual and communicative, and our cat loved her.

I don’t have a preference, but please ensure that the care you’re asking me to provide is reasonable based on your dog’s temperament towards strangers.
