About Syd S.

Safety, trust & environment
When staying with me, your fur baby will be the only pet in my home. To ensure safety, I limit interactions with other dogs, avoiding any triggers they may have, and keeping an eye out for tempting "street snacks."
Home
Information Syd S. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know how your dog reacts to other dogs, children, skateboards, or any other stimuli that might trigger reactivity. I also like to learn about their routine, especially walking and feeding times, so I can maintain a sense of comfort and consistency for your pup while you’re away.
A typical day
I personalize each walk to suit your dog's needs, whether it's a relaxing stroll or an active trip to the park. In my home they can enjoy engaging playtime and lots of cuddles!

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Syd, a lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing exceptional care to furry friends as a full-time professional dog sitter and certified dog trainer. With 7 years of experience running my pet care business and over 600 repeat bookings, I’ve built a reputation for providing personalized, reliable, and compassionate care. My journey began volunteering at an animal shelter for 4 years, which deepened my understanding of canine behavior and needs. Growing up with dogs and working with various breeds, ages, and temperaments has prepared me for just about anything, whether your pup is playful and outgoing or shy and nervous. I specialize in working with dogs who have unique needs, including those that are fear reactive, struggle with separation anxiety, or are wary of new people. Boarding & Daycare: I live just two blocks from Prospect Park, so your pup will enjoy plenty of outdoor fun and exercise! I prioritize keeping your furry friend engaged and happy, meaning they’ll never be home alone for more than an hour, with constant care available at request. I tailor my approach to each dog’s personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Let’s give your dog the care they deserve, book with me today!

Reviews
I’m very happy with Syd who did a wonderful job caring for my cat for a couple of days. Syd was punctual and detail-oriented. I feel comfortable working with her again.
Syd is a gem and a true professional. I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone new (about leaving him with anyone at all, really) and Syd’s calm demeanor, attentiveness to detail, and patience with me made me feel at ease. She followed all care instructions thoroughly and sent me daily updates and photos where it was clear my pup was absolutely loving his time with her. I really appreciated that she took the time to read through our care instructions before we met, and also took the time to get to know my dog and remember all his quirks. I will not hesitate to leave my dog with Syd in the future, and will be at ease knowing he is in excellent hands. Thank you, Syd!!
Syd’s care and attention to detail with Oliver is unmatched. You can tell she truly loves and cares for every pet she watches. Her detailed daily updates & photos allow us to fully relax and enjoy our time away knowing Oliver is in such great care. 100% recommend Syd!!!
Syd is simply the best! Oliver didn’t want to leave Syd’s home, he loves his time with Syd so much. We receive daily detailed updates & can fully enjoy our time away as we know Oliver is in great hands with Syd.
