Pet care experience

I care for animals as my own.

Dogs have always been my favorite animals when it comes to having fun and forming connections filled with unconditional love, especially when it comes to more complicated dogs that need extra attention and care. I trained my previous dog, a Husky mix, from the time he was just 6 weeks old. I taught him to follow me closely and stay near me without a leash, as well as commands like sit, stay, and give paw. He also learned to use a potty pad during rainy or messy weather. I've received many compliments on how well-behaved he is for a young pup at just 9 months old and for his breed. I take him to dog parks and other parks where he can run around and get plenty of exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

I personally prefer to provide services at the client’s home, ensuring both the dog and the owner are satisfied. I dedicate my attention and patience to entertaining the dogs, allowing them to engage in activities that bring them joy while also providing necessary boundaries, trust, and safety. This approach helps build a strong connection between us.

Im very disappointed. I was concerned for my dog the entire time being away due to the lck of communication. She was 5 hours LATE showing up to care for my dog which in unacceptable with no communication she'd be late. My dog didn't get fed or walked ontime because of this. She didn't respond to my messages or phone call after not hearing anything from her Saturday for 9 HOURS after being extremely worried for my dogs safety. AND She agreed to watch my dog untill 2pm/3 Sunday on the app, and left at 5:45am in the morning with no plans of returning. I had to scramble finding someone else to watch over my dog untill i returned from my trip. My dog is an elderly dog which makes me extremely upset for the sitters behavior. I never thought id have to make a report like this through rover and im so upset. I wanted to like her but she was neglectful, lied to me, and had the worst communication. For example when I called her to check in after not hearing from her for 9 hours she answered the call but didn't say anything hung up then when I called back it went to voice mail 3 times in a row so I couldn't get in communication with her at all and never called me back. She didn't follow through with what she said she'd do and played off her behavior very nonchalant. Also she drank and entire bottle of my liqure alcohol that was unopened! I was shocked. Ive never had issues with other sitters i used before.

I cannot recommend Syd enough! She took care of my dog, Lola, while I was away on vacation, and truly went above and beyond. Lola absolutely adored her — and that says a lot! Not only did she follow all of Lola’s routines and needs with care, but she also took her on park outings, kept her safe and happy, and made sure my home was spotless when I returned. Everything was tidied up, fresh, and so thoughtfully maintained. I came home to a relaxed, well-loved dog and a clean, cozy home — I couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals, she’s the one!

My family and I were very grateful to have Syd care for our dog and cat while away. Our ask was very last minute and Syd was able to stay with them while we were away even when our directions had to be so haphazard with our next day booking. She was great with both Drako and JW. We will definitely love to ask Syd to stay with them again in the future.

Sydney is a natural! She was so loving and nurturing towards my beagle Mila during their drop in visit. Mila felt the love as well as he gave Sydney a burst of energy and tail wags followed by cuddles and belly rubs. I look forward to booking Sydney to dog sit during my upcoming vacations. She’s highly recommended, your pets will be in great care !

I'm interested in learning about your pet's behavior around other dogs and any allergies they might have. Also, I would value any other information you think is important for me to meet your expectations regarding your pet(s).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
