I have a fenced in back yard, and am a firm believer in providing dogs with the physical and mental stimulation they require, and will do my best to meet your dog’s individual needs with toys, walks, enrichment activities, and play.

Information Sydney B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can account for. Any information on your pet’s dietary and exercise requirements would also be appreciated. I’m able to provide a wide range of care for your pet as long as I know what they need.

A typical day

When appropriate, I am a huge proponent of enrichment activities. I own a variety of dog puzzles and enjoy playing scent related ‘search’ games with dogs.

Lover of all dogs since birth

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting since I graduated. I’m also quite amenable to whatever activity level each dog requires - whether that’s hiking or watching movies on the couch. I don’t have any animals right now, so I can devote all my attention to your pet while they are with me.

We had an amazing experience with Sydney while she watched our two dogs for 9 nights. She consistently sent thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was her transparency and attentiveness. She kept us informed about our dogs’ behaviors and how they were doing, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their well being. Our dogs were well taken care of and happy, and we felt confident they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely book her again for future boardings and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We had an excellent experience with our Rover sitter over the past four days. She took amazing care of our two dogs and was incredibly attentive to their needs. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly cared about our dogs and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We arrived to pick up two very content pups. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Sydney was great, very friendly, flexible, communicative and has a large house with comfortable furniture and a yard. Hard to imagine a better situation than that
