Pet care experience

Loving your family as my own

I’ve grown up with furry family members since I was 5-years-old; I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 8. Since I grew up loving animals, I made my career with them as a veterinary technician (RVT). I have been working in the veterinary field since 2013, including experience with emergencies. With my background, I am willing to help pets with medical concerns as well, from insuring your pet gets their daily pills to administering subcutaneous fluids. From my own standpoint, I understand that pets are more than companions... They are precious family members. I promise to care and provide for them with lots of love and TLC as if they are my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a Great Pyrenees daughter named Jasmine who is spoiled indoors with me, so I am used to having no personal space and a fluffy white cloud following me everywhere. When visiting others’ homes, I’m very respectful about boundaries and keeping things clean and as they were.

I embarked on a trip to Hawaii and was determined to find a skilled vet tech who could assist with bladder expressions for my fur child who is paralyzed . After an extensive search, I was on the verge of giving up, but then I discovered Sydney, who exceeded my expectations in every aspect. WHAT A GEM! She provided exceptional service, displayed professionalism, maintained excellent communication, and submitted detailed daily reports. As a result, I felt completely at ease and relaxed throughout my trip. I strongly recommend Sydney and look forward to booking her services again in the future.

As always Sydney was on-time, thorough and went above and beyond with not only her excellent care but also communications regarding our pet. She is thoroughly reliable, considerate and recommend her 110%.

Sydney did a fantastic job of taking care of my two golden retrievers. She provided informative reports each visit and sent lots of pictures so I could see my happy pups! She helped make our vacation relaxed and worry-free! We would definately call on her again.

Sydney is the best! I'm such a worrying dog-mom, and she could not have been more perfect. She was highly communicative with me and was very easy to get in touch with. I also love that she is a vet tech. That put my mind at ease the whole time we were away. If she noticed small changes in my dog's behavior she would take precautions and monitored him like a pro. Even my neighbor commented on how wonderful she was and how our dog just fell in love with her. I will use Sydney every time we travel in the future!

Schedule

I’m currently working at a 24 hour animal hospital in Torrance Sunday-Wednesdays each week, therefore any drop in visits those days would only be available in the evenings. I can do multiple households/drop in visits on the remaining days of the week; just reach out to me ahead of time to add availability to my calendar for you to book.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Sydney can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Please let me know if there are any particular medical and/or behavioral aspects I’ll need to be mindful of. Some pets are escape artists while others are hide and seek champions. For the dogs that are especially protective over their territory, meet & greets ahead of time will help tremendously when it’s time for the drop in visits. Thanks to my training in the veterinary field, most at home treatments I can provide as needed (oral & transdermal medications, SQ fluids, bladder expressions, etc) as long as your pet isn’t too much of a wiggle bug.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
