Fun-Loving Petsitter for YOU!

Pet care experience

Having grown up with pets, I have always had a deep affection for animals. Over time, I have gained a great deal of experience pet-sitting for neighbors and friends of my parents. One of the things I enjoy most about caring for pets is spending quality time with them and giving them the love and attention they need when their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, with its own personality, preferences, and needs. This is why I make it a point to get to know each pet individually and cater to their specific requirements. Whether your pet is young or old, shy or energetic, I am committed to providing a welcoming and safe environment where they can thrive. As someone who values responsibility and reliability, I always prioritize my pet-sitting duties, ensuring that your furry friend receives the best possible care. I am excited to spend time with your pet, to build a special connection with them, and to be the reliable caregiver that they deserve.

Sydney was a great house sitter! She took great care of my dog, gave him all the meds and exercise he needed, and he had so much fun while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and left my house spotless! 10/10 would hire again.

Sidney is amazing, she made it work for my emergency trip, and it was only a day before notice. My kitties seem really relaxed and well fed. I will totally ask for Sidney again anytime I need to travel.

I highly recommend Sydney. My two girls received excellent care and attention, and my house was very well kept. Sydney checked in with us regularly which is comforting when leaving your fur babies at home while out of town. Definitely a five-star service!

Sydney did a fantastic job watching my cat Marlowe! Marlowe really hates being left alone for long stretches and has previously been really anxious when he’s only had someone come by to feed him while I’m gone. Sydney hung out with him overnight and it is a world of difference! She kept me regularly updated on how he was doing (with picture!), answered any message from me very promptly, and took great care of my home in my absence. I will also fully admit I was very anxious and helicopter parenting ahead of this trip given that Marlowe’s done poorly with sitters in the past. Sydney was non judgmental about my anxiety and her calm and attention to detail gave me confidence I left Marlowe in good hands. He had a great time with her and I would absolutely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that each pet has unique needs and requires personalized care, so I follow any specific routines or schedules requested by the pet owners. This includes feeding times and any other special requests. While I do not have experience administering medications to pets, I am a quick learner and am willing to learn how to give medications if needed. I am committed to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in the client's home, I am dedicated to providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for the pets in my care.

Information Sydney B. would like to know about your pet

Knowing important information about a dog ahead of time is crucial for providing the best possible care. It's helpful to know the dog's breed, age, any medical conditions, and their temperament. Additionally, knowing their daily routine, dietary needs, and any behavior quirks can help me tailor my care to their individual needs. The more information I have about a dog ahead of time, the better I can ensure they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while in my care.

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs I care for usually starts with a morning walk at a local park such as Belle Isle, Forest Hill Park, or the nearby Manchester Dog Park. I love playing games like fetch and tug-of-war with the pups, and on nice days we might also visit a dog park like Barker Field in Byrd Park or Chimborazo Park Dog Park. In the evenings, I make sure the dogs are comfortable and relaxed before settling in for the night. I always aim to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the dogs in my care.

Availability

As a pet sitter, I am fully available to provide dedicated care for your furry friends. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to devote my time to pet sitting, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can offer longer visits on weekdays when I am available all day and make up for any missed attention during shorter visits. I am always willing to work with pet owners to find a routine that suits their pets' needs, so you can rest assured that your pets are receiving the care and attention they deserve.
