Highlights
Pet care experience
Providing a ‘Pawsitive’ Experience!
Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, your dog (s) will receive the same level of care I give my own pets—fresh food and water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Further, I have experience with administering medicine such as eye drops, ingestible liquids/pills, and shots. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in capable hands. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! When I was a kid, my family had two dogs along with other animals, providing me with a foundation for loving and caring for pets. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to provide pet care services including pet sitting- feeding, play, and providing overnight company. I have 24 years of experience with small and medium sized dogs. Care for dogs is my only profession, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is safe, welcoming, and open, and my friendly dog loves having dog visitors to play with. Your dog will be free to roam my home- welcome on the furniture- and have plenty of space to run in my large fenced in yard. Additionally, I am located near the heart of Dowtown Royal Oak for dogs who are excited by people and other dogs, as well as several parks with open spaces within walking distance. I currently have a three dog limit for boarding and pet sitting.

Ratings and reviews
Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!
Sydney is my first choice in booking a pet sitter! She's reliable, communicative (sends adorable pictures and updates daily as requested), and professional. I really appreciate her caring for my special needs dogs and I know that she will give them the care and attention they require! ❤️
Sydney is the perfect Dog mom. Gracie and Finlay loved their first experience. Gracie is older Havanese and always been nervous little doggy. Finlay I’d life of party , loves his toys 🧸 and play with new best friend Bernie. We were so impressed, we have booked 3 more stays this month. Thank you Sydney for your pick up and delivery options. We found a new Rover for the 4 leg family ….5 star
My pups had another great day! Sydney is just wonderful, we love having her as our walker.
Sydney was everything I could have asked for in a caring pet sitter! She watched my 2 special needs fur babies in her home for 6 days, and I was impressed from the moment she greeted me and welcomed me into her home! Sydney had pre-printed care sheets with my pets' names at the top, and we filled out questions together to get to know their needs and preferences. We did a slow introduction with the other pets that were there, and my babies were able to explore the house and yard in their own time. Sydney offered a pickup and drop-off service, which was very convenient on the days of my flights while traveling. She was responsible for giving medications daily and addressing my pets' comfort and safety. I received text and photo updates and she stayed in communication about how my pets were doing with their medical issues and emotional/social needs. Sydney is a professional and caring person and I highly recommend her services!
Great experience! She was so kind and took great care of my puppies, I definitely recommend her.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
Pets
A typical day
The day starts with bathroom breaks, followed by breakfast. After breakfast, I love to give the dogs I care for either walks or stimulating play time- including foraging, lick mats, puzzle feeders, and play with the toys of their choice. I also facilitate social time with other small and medium dogs, so they get used to being around and playing with other dogs! Social play is closely monitored to ensure the safety of all dogs. For senior dogs and dogs with limited mobility this time includes lots of cuddles and rest! After play time, there is plenty of time for dogs who’d like to rest. The evening is rounded out with dinner, followed by bathroom breaks, walks, and/or play and social time!
