I currently work full-time as a medical scribe with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. The great part? My workday starts early and ends early, leaving me with the perfect early morning, afternoon, and evening hours to dedicate to pet care. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all fit smoothly into my routine, and I love having that quality time with pets after a busy morning. Weekends are even more flexible, which allows for longer stays, extra play, or extended house sitting when needed. Caring for animals brings a great balance to my week—and a lot of joy too!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your space with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow all routines to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep you updated with daily pics, videos, and little notes on how your pup is doing! When walking, I’m big on safety—leash rules, paw checks, water breaks, and always watching for dog’s body language. My goal is a happy, tired, and content pet after every visit.

Information Sydney C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, specific Do’s and Don’ts with your pets, behaviors to watch out for, medications, and anything specific to your pup. While somethings are common sense, I always want to make sure you and your pet are happy and that your pet is well taken care with little to no changes to their schedules.

A typical day

A typical day for us is filled with tail wags and happy moments. The day starts early with a leisurely walk, breakfast, and a quick play session to kick off the pup’s day. Lunch breaks become adventures with fetch in the yard, a quick walk, or extra cuddle time before returning to work. Evenings are all about burning energy and bonding: long walks, games, brushing, training, and plenty of affection. Throughout the day, I can ensure fresh water, tasty meals, comfy spaces, and photo updates on your pets, making sure every dog feels loved, entertained, and well cared for from sunrise to bedtime.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a strong love of mine. Not only have I been a dog owner from the age of 3 and own 6 furbabies of my own, I have also been a horse owner, avid equestrian, and a 4H sheep owner that won Reserve Grand Champion 2 consecutive years showing them at the Kern County Fair. Providing the same love and care to your pets as I do my own is my top priority. Our pup’s didn’t earn the nickname of Man’s Best Friend out of nowhere and they deserve to be cherished, even when you need time away from home. I have experience in all ages and conditions including but not limited to: -New pups -Old pups -Blind pups -Diabetic pups

Sydney is so wonderful, I use her anytime we leave town knowing my dogs are in great hands. Great at checking in and updating on how they’re doing. Always come home to a clean house and happy dogs!

Sydney was so great! She is so kind and caring. She took great care of Remi and my home while I was away on a work trip. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was traveling. I will definitely recommend and use Sydney again!
