As the father of a 20-year-old daughter applying to be a Rover dog sitter, I can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in excellent hands with Sydney. She has been deeply passionate about animals from a very young age. She began working with horses at just 5 years old and has spent years developing a calm, confident, and capable approach to animal care. Her love for animals has only grown over the years, and she’s worked diligently to turn that passion into a career. At 16, she began working as a veterinary assistant at a local clinic—a role she’s held for the past four years. In that time, she has gained valuable hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other animals, learning how to handle a wide range of personalities and medical needs with care and professionalism. Currently, she is a rising Junior at the University of Missouri, majoring in Animal Science. She has earned consistent placement on the Dean’s List and was recently selected as a Vet Research Scholar—an honor that reflects both her academic excellence and her commitment to animal health and welfare. She is one of the most responsible, compassionate, and hard-working people I know. Whether she’s caring for a client’s dog or assisting in a veterinary procedure, she gives her full attention and treats every animal as if it were her own. I fully support her decision to become a Rover sitter and know she will be an incredible resource for pet parents seeking someone trustworthy and experienced.
