Pet care experience

Lifelong dog obsessed!

I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and ages my entire life. My grandparents had a farm with 10-15 rescues at a time. I’ve had jack russles, Great Danes, labs, & pitties. I’ve been dog sitting all ages and sizes since I was 10 (cats too!) I also have experience with aggressive / reactive dogs and know how to keep them comfortable especially on walks. I am a helicopter dog mom and super particular about how my dogs are taken care of and I will be that way with your dogs too!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 11 year old and 1 year old dog so I am used to stricter instructions and think it’s super important to follow them for the dogs safety and well being!

Syd did a great job taking care of our fur babies while we were out of town. Is he sent lots of pics and updates. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were well cared for and in good hands! Would definitely use her again and would recommend.

Syd is a great sitter for our 3 Great Danes! We always know our pups are in good hands and happy when she sits for us.

Syd treats my animals like her own and they absolutely love when she comes to babysit. She is timely and communicative, always sending me photos and updates. I am so grateful for the peace of mind I have knowing she is checking on our little ones. I couldn’t pick a more reliable person to watch my pets or my home!
