You Leave Them, I’ll Love Them!

We follow the Golden Rule here: treat others how you want to be treated. That extends to our fur babies, not just other people. I strive to treat all furry babies with kindness, patience, love, and respect. I scold firmly, but gently, and work to correct unfavorable behaviors. When it’s time to cuddle or play, that’s our most favorite time of all! I take care of feeding, entertainment, and affection. Just describe your daily schedule with your pet and I’ll handle the rest! You leave them and I’ll love them! I have had pets my entire life and taking care of them has always been my, and my siblings’, responsibility. I have experience with many different animals, having had seven cats and eight dogs over the course of my life. I currently have five cats, their ages spanning three generations. I also have some experience with bunnies and guinea pigs, having three bunnies myself in the past and was responsible for a family friend’s guinea pig while she was on vacation. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have!

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to follow the same routine that you’ve set for your animals. It’s stressful for them when their owners are gone and someone new is in the house. I want to keep everything else as normal as possible for them. I will work my schedule around to fit their needs and your preferences.

Sydney was awesome! I’d highly recommend her. She was so good with our dog and cat. You can tell she really loves animals. She sent pics of them and kept us up to date on things while we were away.

Sydney took great care of my 2 dogs and home while we were out of state for several days. She didn't hesitate to reach out with any questions which made me feel a lot better as this was our first booking with Sydney. We will absolutely be using her again!

Sydney did a great job with my elderly cat. She did drop in visits to ensure he had food and water and she cleaned his litter box. I would recommend her and I will use her again in the future.

Sydney was great with Apollo and Leeloo. She always communicates and send regular updates which is very much appreciated. It is comforting to know my animals are well taken care of with her.

Sydney was great with my dog and cat. She sent me regular photo and note updates on their days. She was very communicative about everything and they seemed very happy when I got home.

Schedule

I currently take care of animals as my main source of income. When I’m not working, I am home taking care of my family’s pets. I never tire of being around them and spending time with them.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Sydney can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
It’s important I know of any special needs your pet has, as well as any quirks. Do they tend to get in the trash? Do they dig holes in the yard? I need to know these things so I know what behaviors to look out for and correct. I also like to know how your pet loves to play and receive love. Do they like fetch? Do they like butt scratches?
