Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care. I’m here to help. As a professional dog bather, I understand the importance of routine and care. While I work during the day, I can be flexible with my schedule as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to accommodate both short notice requests and regular routines, working closely with your pet’s specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful to know anything that will make your pet feel more comfortable and safe—like their daily routine, favorite toys, or any fears or triggers. I’d also want to know about any medical needs, quirks, or how they are around other animals and people. The more I know, the better I can care for them.

A typical day

I really just try to do whatever makes each pet feel happy and comfortable. Some love to play or go for long walks, while others just want to hang out and get some snuggles. I pay attention to what they enjoy and follow their usual routine so they feel safe and cared for while you’re gone.

Pet care experience

I've been the go-to sitter for my friends/family for years because they know how much I love being around animals. During the day, I work professionally as a dog bather, which deepens my understanding and care for pets. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. With two cats who are my whole heart, I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family when you are away.

Sydney is wonderful. She took great care of my boys. She gave me regular updates and pics. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her watch the boys again.

Sydney is terrific! Great communication, attentive, responsible. She has stayed in our home with our one pup. She takes great care of both pup and home. We have a sense of peace knowing she’s there.

Sydney did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone. She followed all the instructions we left and kept her company at night as well. She sent so many updates and pictures and was so accommodating!
