Ratings and reviews
Syd was great watching my dog for the day. This is the first time I’ve left my dog with someone other than family and friends and she warmed up to Syd! She sent updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, and even cleaned my dogs dishes afterward. My dog was actually sad once she left — a true sign she had a great time. Highly recommend Syd for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Syd is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She is kind, reliable, and incredibly attentive to details. Wanda was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for while in her care, which gave us complete peace of mind. Syd kept us updated and treated our furry baby as her own. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We are so grateful to have found her!
Syd was amazing and I will not hesitate to leave my dogs in her care again!
Syd was absolutely fantastic! She took the best care of Chloe while we were celebrating our wedding! 10/10 would recommend her, not just because she’s fantastic with dogs but also because she’s just an all around amazing person to have around! THANK YOU SYD 😊
Syd was so amazing with Ralphie. She has made me feel so assured that Ralphie was in good hands-considering that this was first time with a petsitter. I definitely plan to have her sit with Ralphie again in the future!
Syd was wonderful and made us very comfortable leaving our dog unexpectedly with a new person. She provided kind, compassionate care, going above and beyond, and gave detailed updates, keeping us in the loop while we were away. Her experience and calmness with dogs was highly evident.

Schedule
Animals are my full time job! On weekdays, I do teach evening puppy classes as a dog trainer. Other than that, I am always with the dogs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am well versed in dealing with a variety of house sitting/pet sitting situations that may arise. First Aid Training, behavioural training experience, and knowing when to seek support have been the pillars of my problem solving.
A typical day
On our walks and during downtime we will focus on physical and mental stimulation through games and exercises. Dog puzzles, sniff mats, treat finding missions and agility training are just some of the things we will get up to together!
Prices include all fees.
