Pet-loving student on pre-vet track

Pet care experience

I have been a Florida native my whole life and have been taking care of animals since before the age of ten. I’ve taken care of both of my family’s dogs for most of my life. Now that I’m off in college I miss having a furry friend by my side. I am able to take care of cats and dogs of all ages. I’m currently on the pre-vet track and I love working with and caring for all animals!

Sydney was wonderful, Lola loved hanging out there. Sydney even went out of her way to pick something for me the day before I arrived in town because the shop was closed on the one day I was there and kept it in the freezer until I picked Lola up.

Information Sydney B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is reactive towards people or animals or requires special accommodations. I am comfortable with handling and size of type of dog as long as I am notified of it’s temperament and what to expect ahead of time. I want to make your dogs stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Any information regarding food allergies and medication would also be greatly appreciated. If a crate or special bedding is needed during your pets stay, please provide it when dropping them off.

A typical day

I like waking up early to walk during the sunrise so the dogs get the opportunity to burn some energy first thing. I make sure that the dog is let out multiple times and go on 1-2 longer walks a day, weather permitting. I change my walking routine based on what fits your dog regarding their energy level and age. There are a lot of sidewalks and grassy areas available near me. I try to avoid taking the dogs on long walks during the hottest parts of the day and if I do, I will only take them to grassy areas to walk so they don’t burn their paws.
