As always, Sydney did an excellent job. I never have to worry when i’m on vacation because I know my animals are in the best hands.

This was the first time my pet was away from home and Sydney took great care of her. I received pictures showing how my pet was adjusting which helped me to enjoy my time away, seeing that she was doing great and was comfortable! Sydney made Marley feel at home and I would highly recommend her services!

Sydney did a great job taking care of our senior pup MJ. She kept us updated with text and photos of each visit. She’s friendly and clearly cares for animal well-being. Would 100% recommend.

Sydney is truly the best at what she does! If my dogs were leaving this review they’d tell you that she is an extended member of our family and you would think they’ve known her all of their lives. 20 out of 10

Schedule

I currently work part-time, with shifts typically lasting 5–6 hours. However, I have plenty of availability outside of that to care for your pets! My schedule is flexible, and with enough notice, I can adjust my availability to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’d love to spend my downtime caring for your furry family members! 😊

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced-in, secure backyard, perfect for safe outdoor playtime. Your pup will also have the company of my two friendly dogs—Loki, my gentle 120 lb Bernese Mountain Dog, and Bear, my playful 110 lb, 11-month-old Great Pyrenees/Saint Bernard mix. Bear loves to play and has plenty of energy, making him a great companion for active dogs! With over eight years of experience boarding pets, I ensure a loving and attentive environment tailored to your pet’s comfort. If your dog is uncomfortable around large breeds, no worries! Loki and Bear can stay upstairs, while your pup has the downstairs space all to themselves for a stress-free stay. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, they’ll receive plenty of playtime, fresh food and water, and, of course, lots of love! 🐾💕 As for care inside your home, I strive to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet, ensuring food and water bowls are refreshed, and following any special instructions you provide. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, a game of fetch, or a calming walk, I’m here to give your pet the attention they deserve while you’re away! 🏡🐾

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks to the best sniff-worthy spots! Since dogs get so much mental stimulation through their noses, these walks provide both brain exercise and physical exercise—keeping them happy and engaged. Another favorite activity of mine is playing fetch! My backyard is relatively long, giving plenty of space for dogs to sprint full speed after a ball and burn off energy. Of course, your pup will always have fresh water, food, and—if you allow it—some tasty treats to keep them fueled and happy!

I like to gather as much information as possible to provide the best care for your pet. If your dog, cat, reptile, or other pet is on any medications or supplements, I want to ensure they receive them properly and on schedule. Knowing their medical history also helps me understand any special needs or precautions to take. Additionally, I ask about their history with biting or possessiveness so I can provide a safe and comfortable environment for both your pet and others. Clear communication helps me tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and personality!
