Information Syd H. would like to know about your pet

Their daily habits are most important to know in advance. When do they usually walk and eat? Do they have any special needs, including medication or behavioural accommodations? I am always willing to take the necessary precautions to ensure a positive experience and your peace of mind.

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!

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!
