Pet care experience

Former vet tech ready to Rover!

Hey, I’m Syd, a passionate animal lover with over 7 years of experience as a veterinary technician. My life has always revolved around animals, from working hands-on in veterinary clinics to opening my home to countless foster pets in need from neonatal to and infusing hospice care. I currently share my life with my own “zoo crew” — a lively mix of three dogs, a cat, a Sulcata tortoise, a beta fish and probably a foster or two — they make my life lively, hilarious and fun!! With my background in veterinary care, I bring a unique level of expertise and peace of mind to pet sitting. Whether it’s administering medication, managing special diets, or just giving lots of love and attention, I treat every pet like one of my own. I believe every animal deserves compassionate, knowledgeable care when their family is away, and I’m honored to be that trusted person for so many wonderful pets and their families. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered, or scaled!) family members and give them the care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard yet when walking other peoples dogs I like to have them in their regular leash and a slip leash if the owner likes because safety is first. I also walk with dog spray in the off chance we encounter an aggressive, off leash dog.

Sydne was excellent!! She took great care of our pets, and went above and beyond, putting away a cold package that unexpectedly arrived while we were gone. Highly recommend!

Sydne is great!!! Always takes such good care of our kitties and our home. I feel so much better knowing she’s watching them and making sure all is well while we’re away :)

Sydne has taken care of our two dogs several times now - she is fantastic! She even covered for over a week when we went out of the country. 5 stars!

Schedule

My dogs and I go on walks most mornings to get our day started then fetch in the afternoon to keep them active…some days that’s 45 minutes and in the summer that’s 4-5 throws, woo this heat! I am accustomed to the sensitivity of medication time as well as dietary sensitivities and preferences…I have one dog who some days demands to be hand fed!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sydne can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
If your dog has special needs please let me know and my canine crew and I will do our best to accommodate! Around my house the couches are free game yet if your pups aren’t allowed on yours at home I will make sure to not teach them bad habits!
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.
