I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how social your pet is please and if they get along well with other pets! I would love to meet up first and learn about your pet before working together!

A typical day

I love the outdoors so I am always ready to go for walks in the neighborhood or at a forest preserve etc. I also would be happy to throw a ball or toy around for some activity as well!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :)

Sydney was the best person we could’ve asked for for our cat! Communication was fantastic, including picture updates. Would recommend her!

I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!

Sydney is my go to for pet sitting & walking! Her love and care for pets is outstanding! She watches my Great Dane pup and is intentional, caring, responsible, and I feel at peace knowing my dog is in great hands! I always recommend her whether it’s for a dog walk, day visit, or overnight stay. She has experience with all size furries! So thankful for her!!
