Caring for an animal I do not know requires calm energy and patience, it is important to me that I follow any rules that are communicated to me. I am comfortable medicating animals, putting on various collars and harness as well as crating.

Syd was attentive, understanding and caring with my Pixie Stick, who has some separation anxiety. Good to know my furbaby was in good hands.

Thanks Syd for taking such good care of our paw kids. I could tell Billyblue missed you last night as he just wanted to sleep in your room. I appreciate all that you did. Those long walks and Billyblue is your fan. 🐾🤍

Syd is wonderful. My pup was delighted to see her again, and Syd did a great job taking care of him and my home — she’s very responsive and reliable. We look forward to working with you again soon, Syd!

Syd is a true animal lover and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our pets. She spent quality time with them and fed them on schedule. She also provided quick and clear communication and regular updates with pictures/videos. She was very dependable. Also, the house was clean and orderly when we got back, she even cleaned out the litter box which we had not asked her to do. We would love to have her pet sit for us again!
