Pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. During the week, I’m available in the late afternoons and evenings after 3:30 PM, which makes dog walks, drop-in visits, and evening care a great fit. I’m fully available on weekends and can dedicate more time to walks, visits, and overnight care. Spending time with animals is something I find both fulfilling and rewarding, and I love being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, whether they love attention or prefer their space. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise and enrichment, and lots of love. Regular updates and photos are always provided so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Information Sydney E. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to learn about their routine, personality, and any quirks that make them unique. Please let me know about any triggers, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of, as well as how they interact with people, other animals, and new environments. I also like to know things such as whether they’re a fast or slow eater, any food restrictions, favorite toys or activities, where they enjoy (or don’t enjoy) being pet, and any habits that might seem unusual to someone new but are completely normal for them. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and understood while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of enrichment, exercise, and attention tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. For dogs, that might mean walks, sniffing opportunities, playtime, training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or games that keep them mentally engaged as well as physically active. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, enrichment activities, and giving them attention at their comfort level, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pet is not only cared for, but also happy, stimulated, and having fun while you’re away.

Doggy Daycare Experienced

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life and previously worked in a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m experienced with dog walking, safe leash handling, feeding routines, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a dog may not be feeling well. I’m especially comfortable with large and high-energy dogs and always use a patient, gentle approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own.

Sydney was communicative and sent me updates every day! Even during inclement weather, she took great care of my pup and cat and they had a great time with her. 100% would book again.

I can’t be more pleased with having Sydney look after my animals while I wasn’t home. She was incredibly reliable and attentive. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and I always get extremely nervous having someone else take care of them but Sydney was constantly sending me updates and pictures, and gave me the peace of mind that my animals were happy, fed and cared for. My dog is a little wild around other dogs and she was able to follow set instructions when taking him out on walks and said he did great which was amazing! It’s obvious she loves being around animals. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
