96% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
30% bookings with photo updates

Dog skills

12 years of experience
Oral medication administration
First aid/CPR
Senior dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very good at following instructions and taking cues from your furry best friend. I often go above and beyond in making sure they have what they need and that everything is taken care of when you have other things to attend to.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you’re interested in me introducing our dogs to be able to interact during your booking. I have experience with dog meet-and-greets, and know how to introduce them safely. No worries if you’d rather my dog hang out at home when I come to visit yours.

A typical day

A Saturday morning with my own dog usually entails hitting Starbucks for a pup cup, and then a 2 mile hike at a local park. Then back home for a nap and sunbathing on the patio.

Sydney was very accommodating and one of the few Rover sitters I could get to watch Conan for a long period of time. She took very good care of Conan and gave me daily updates!

I met Sydney through her mother and grandmother who are both coworkers of mine, and who I know to be good people. From Facebook, I watched Sydney grow and blossom and continuously add her academic and musical accomplishments to her resume. When her mom posted that Sydney was looking for part time work as a pet sitter, I decided to give her try. I had full confidence that Sydney would be mature and reliable as well as a loving companion for our 2 kitties. We were not disappointed. Sydney has house/pet sat for us four times now, and we could not be more pleased. Our kitty, Colby, runs to her when she comes over! Sydney is neat and clean and always leaves our house cleaner than she found it. Recently, she dropped everything to rush over and house/pet sit for us as my mother reached the end of her life. I cannot recommend Sydney highly enough.

Sydney LOVES animals! She walked my two huskies on a regular basis, fed them, cleaned up after, and cared for them for years! She was amazing and loving and very responsible. She hasn’t met a dog yet that hasn’t become a friend to her. I highly recommend this girl to care for your animals. I will always trust her with mine!

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.
