Pet care experience

A Loving & Dedicated Pet-Sitter

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I pet sat and walked dogs full time providing care to puppies, elderly, and special needs pups. I have cared for many different dog breeds and am skilled at meeting their energy level and curating visits individualized to each pup! I have experience administering medications, and working with pups who are vision/hearing impaired.

Safety, trust & environment

I will be diligent and follow instructions given by pet parents! I prefer to walk dogs on a harness as it is safer when walking, as it’s hard to break or slip out of.

If I could give Syd 10 stars, I would!! Syd watched our 9 year old pittie mix while we were out of town for 5 days. She came over for 3 visits a day including one walk. She came over to meet our pup and he loved her right away. She sent us detailed visit notes and pictures with every single visit which made us feel so at ease. She went above and beyond even giving him an extra walk when he had some energy and cleaning up his accident in the house. We would definitely recommend Syd for anyone looking for a pet caretaker!

Syd is a passionate and dedicated dog and cat sitter. I’ve used her for several vacations and dog walkings and have never had an issue. My dog Toby has grass allergies and takes medicine, and Syd was able to bathe him after every walk and give him his medication in my absence. She also somehow befriended my very timid cat who I was confident would hide the whole visit. She also kept the house clean and sent us sweet photos and updates. I would definitely recommend Syd, we miss her and would still be using her had she not moved.

Schedule

I am currently working a split schedule, so I have availability for visits early in the morning, midday, and evenings that I would love to fill with some animal bonding time! I just recently moved to the area, and miss my old pet care clients! So I would like to rebuild pet care back into my schedule!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, or behaviors that may pop up during a visit! I have experience with reactive pups, and also have experience leash training. If you’re a cat parent, I have experience with timid and territorial kitties!
