Pet care experience

My name is Sydney! I have been raised around dogs, cats and horses since I was a little girl. We have a German shepherd & Aussie. My pups are very active and need a lot of activity and care. I understand how much you miss your pets while you're gone so I will keep you updated on how they are while I take care of them. You will receive photos daily, as well as their well being or if there's any changes in behavior. I’ve always been an animal lover and I truly will love your pet as if they were my own family! I would love to schedule a meet & greet with you and your pet! Please let me know if you have any questions before booking.

Sydney is a blessing in this community. She is reliable, kind, on time and always keeps us updatedwhen we are away. She cares about the pets in her care and it shows in her words and actions.

We are so glad we found Sydney! She is great at keeping us up to date and we felt safe leaving our pet and home in her care while we were away. Our German Shepherd took to her very quickly and they seem to truly enjoy each other. We can't wait to work with her again.

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.
