We LOVE Sydney! Not only is she absolutely reliable and wonderful with our pets, she stays in constant communication with us. She has done overnights at our home, as well as check ins on our animals when we have been gone over 4 hours at a time. We have 2 dogs who get anxious when we’re gone for longer than 3hrs at a time and she has been willing to come over and play with them and hang out with them for an hour at a time every three to 3.5 hrs. She plays with them until they are tired. If walks are needed she does that as well. However they both really just want to play because they are crazy! When she stayed overnight for several nights while we were out of town, she checked in often, kept the house immaculate, made sure the litter box (3 cats) was clean, and all animals food and water bowls were full. She fed our sons fish as well. Absolutely zero complaints what so ever! We are very thankful for her and will be having her back again in December.
