I work from home, so I can be somewhat flexible with timing for cat care, dogstting and dog walks! I prefer walking in the evening before it gets dark but let me know your ideal timing and we can work around it.

Information Sydney C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any quirks I should be aware of with your pet! I’m also happy to work with your dog on leash training during our walks.

I am happy to play with your cats using feather or string toys (or their preference) or let them do their own thing! I’ll always make sure to take a pic of cats or dogs I’m caring for and send it to you :)

Pet care experience

Have you ever wanted your dog to have the comfort of a 5-Star vacation experience with the trust of an experienced pup-lover right in your community? I’ve set up my ADU to be your dog’s private BnB oasis! It’s a totally separate space (just like a BnB), therefore your pet would have no interaction with my dogs. Your dog’s climate-controlled space is equipped with everything needed to make them comfortable during their stay - beds, toys, blankets, and backyard. I work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with them and do whatever is needed for them to have a comfortable home away from home❤️ A little about me: Hi! My name is Sydney and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for cats (including medication administration) and I have also fostered over 40 dogs in my home, so I have experience with all ages and breeds ❤️ As mentioned, your pet would have their own space separate from my dogs, but I do have two small rescue pups! I have one senior 12-pound girl named Mooncake and a 17-pound boy named Toast and they are the loves of my life!! I love pet-sitting! I’m very responsible, dependable, and can be flexible to meet your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s dog-sitting, dog walking pr cat care, I would love to meet your pet and provide exercise and a fun, loving place to stay while you’re gone! Send me a message with a little more info about you and your bestie and we can set up a time to meet. Can’t wait to meet you! :)

My dog looooooved her walk with Sydney! The pictures and videos Sydney sent us were so sweet and our dog looked so happy. Sydney was super communicative and let us know when she had mila, how they were doing on their walk, and when mila was back home. It was also a really hot day and Sydney was very patient and accommodating for our senior tripod! Can’t wait to continue with Sydney :)

Sydney is caring and a dog and cat mom herself. She can keep your pet totally separate from her animals in her studio garage that has been converted to a pet suite for multiple day stays. There's a loveseat and plenty of floor space. She has a small rear patio area for sniffing and potty breaks. She is happy to take short or long walks with your dog and can do hills. Stella feels safe with Sydney and that means the world to me as I am at work all day.

Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend

Sydney is the only person I recommend when it comes to dog and cat sitting. The care and attention she gives every animal in her care is on another level and you can tell how much she truly love animals. I do not take finding a pet sitter lightly, and the amount of trust I have in Sydney with my fur babies is unmatched. She also fosters dogs and is trusted by Oakland Animal Services, which says a lot about her experience and reputation. I trust her so much that my parents now use Sydney as their exclusive dog sitter. If you want someone who will treat your dog like their own, Sydney is the one.
