Pet care experience

18 years professional sitting exp.

I have 18 years of experience at professional pet sitting. I have a huge enthusiasm and passion for all animals, especially dogs. I love multi pet households and do not charge extra per dog and there is no extra fee for other animals either. From horses to snakes, I can do it all. I also have a passion for honesty and protecting your property. Bringing in mail and alternating which lights are on in your home makes it looked lived in while you are away. If you simply need M-F weekday potty visits, I am the best! I started my dog loving journey volunteering for local shelters and rescues and found my calling when hired by a professional pet sitting company I met through one of those shelters. I decided to branch out on my own when I moved away. I am very motivated to be on time and give any medication that may be needed, including fluids and injections. I will do my best to maintain the routine your pets are used to. I am often available last minute! Give me a try and I promise you'll never need another sitter.

Syd was very attentive not only to my cats, but to how anxious I was going on my trip and leaving my epileptic cat behind. She was prompt to her check-ins, sent plenty of photos, and confirmed my one pet received her medication after every visit. I appreciated her regular communication while I was out of town and will definitely hire her again!

Syd always does a great job with my senior pup. I worry about leaving him as he suffers from cataracts and dementia, but Syd always takes good care of him and keeps me updated with pics and texts. It’s such a relief to know she is there with him!

House Sitting • Nov 18, 2018

Syd was fantastic! Not only did she care for my dog, cats, and a fish, but she also took care of my pot-bellied pig Elvis. Elvis was refusing to eat just before her stay due to an involuntary housing move that he just wasn’t happy about at all. I was worried, to say the least, to be away from him when he was refusing to eat well. But Syd monitored him daily and he made a FULL recovery while we were gone. She took the time to prepare his modified diet and gave me detailed updates about his progress. She also sent pics of my other pets and made sure I knew they were okay. I would hire Syd again without hesitation.

Syd is absolutely WONDERFUL! She has done drop-in visits many times for my two pups now and it is so apparent that she takes good care of them. My dogs love when Syd visits! She's always on time and great with communication. Would recommend her to anyone!

Another great five-star experience with Syd for our boys! We have two cats and a dog who are our children. I hate leaving them when we travel but Syd takes such good care of them. We receive photos and updates, and they always look totally happy when she’s with them. We feel confident leaving them knowing she’s taking care of them. Highly recommend!

It’s important for me to know what your pets schedule is, any small details that will help them be comfortable, and any medication they take.
