Pet care experience

An engineer with a love for dogs

I have had a dog since I was 6 years old and been watching dogs since I moved to college! Families back in San Luis Obispo have relied on me to care of their pups for more than a week while they were out of town and take them on frequent walks. I have now been caring for dogs in NYC and have lots of experience raising puppies as well as administering medication to older dogs.

Sydney always takes the extra care you want for your pets. She truly loves animals and gets to know each pet she cares for. When she cares for your pet more than once, she knows what they like, what they need, and what mischief they may try to get up to. She is careful, considerate, and loves to bring fun into pets' lives.

Sydney is an absolute sweetheart with my dogs. From first meeting her, I could tell she is organized, thoughtful, and playful. They are always happy to see her -- whether she has a chance to take them on long walks or play around the house. She takes excellent care of my two large dogs and I turn to her consistently when I need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large open apartment with a beautiful grassy area at the bottom for the dogs to play and use the bathroom. I also have cared for dogs in other peoples homes and frequently take them on walks and make sure they use the potty.

A typical day

I would love to take them to the parks near my house which have tons of other dogs and open space for them to run around.

I would love to know if they are aggressive or do not interact with other dogs well so I can keep them in areas without other animals.
