About Sydney D.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet
I don’t shy away from difficult personalities or complicated care instructions. I’m very detail oriented and strive to provide the care I’d hope would be given to my own animals.
A typical day
Depending on your pet’s ability, I can walk them proximal to your home or take them for a fun hike. I have a well maintained fenced backyard that they can be in off leash as well. Let me know if you have any preferences for locations or things to avoid (no mud, creeks, etc.) and I will plan the day accordingly!

Pet care experience
Hi there! Currently doing repeats only, but feel free to reach out with inquiries to confirm whether my schedule might allow for a new booking. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders.
Reviews



Sydney was a lovely dog & house sitter. She cared for our 3 dogs (1 with paralyzed hind legs, in diapers & requiring manual bladder compression & irritated skin care) watered our plants. She communicated well with us & sent photos. Our house was spotless.

Sydney was a great dog sitter. She was very attentive and sent photos and updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

Will definitely use Sydney again. I don’t trust very many people with my baby but she did an amazing job with him :) very attentive to my pup. He was very excited to be dropped off in the morning. He came home tired and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave him with❤️

Sydney is absolutely amazing! I had a last minute booking for a quick weekend trip & she was quick to respond & so accommodating. She spent quality time doing outdoor activities with my dog & took really adorable pictures to give me peace of mind while I was away ❤️ My dog can also be a little nervous from time to time & she really took the time to nurture & comfort! Highly recommend Sydney & I will definitely be using her again in the future!
