Pet care experience

Hi I’m Sydney! I have an immense love for animals and since I was young have loved rescuing animals in need. I have had many animals my entire life Including cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I have a lot of experience with puppies, senior dogs, and large dogs. I absolutely adore dogs and I currently have a small pug child named Paisley! I currently live in sunny Mission District and have a fenced yard that I spend a lot of time gardening in. I also love taking the babies for walks around the neighborhood and to dog parks! I am an athletic person and love to hike and run and i try to take the pup on one big adventure a day. I love running with dogs as well if they are able to, unfortunately my pug cannot run with me but she is still cute.I especially look forward to sitting another pug or dog that Paisley can play with! I work in Biotech and have a hybrid work schedule, but can work remotely if planned ahead. When not traveling, I like to stay at home on the weekends, and if I do go out I take the dogs with me. I allow animals in the house and on the furniture - so they will get plenty of cuddles. I also have a large fenced garden that we allow dogs to sunbathe in and roam around. If you choose to have me sit your dog we guarantee that your dog will be safe and will have a blast! I have a one bedroom apartment with a great sized yard. I also live nearby many parks and dog parks where we take our dog many times a day to go potty and to play. I always ensure the dogs gets their daily exercise and social time. I feed my dog twice a day and I understand many animals have allergies so I will be accommodating to that. There is always water available for our pup and I use very heathy food and treats! If needed I can bathe your pup, help teach them tricks, and re-enforce good behavior! Your furry friend will be loved the second they arrive to the second they go home!

Sydney was great, she was very patient with Cookie who is a very shy dog, and gave her space to get comfortable and warm up to her. She was on time, good communicator, and a great experience overall. It'd recommend her to anyone!

Sydney was absolutely incredible! My partner and I had to find a sitter for our pup, Joni, super last minute for our honeymoon when a friend had canceled on us. I scoured Rover for ages looking for the right sitter and Sydney's profile stood out and I am so happy it did. Joni was so well taken care of when we were gone and I never once had to worry about her the entire two and a half weeks we were away. Sydney's pup, Paisley, was an added bonus and Joni is now sad she doesn't have a live in best friend. Joni usually gets pretty sad when we were away and this was the first time it seemed like she didn't mind we were gone! Sydney gave us daily updates and pictures of Joni doing all her favorite activities (beach walks, play time, cuddling on the couch). She was genuinely living her best life, her own doggy vacation. Not only was Joni taken care of but so was our house! Which was such an unexpected added bonus. Sydney kept our place so clean and tidy which was such a treat to come home to from a long trip. Thank you again Sydney!!! You will definitely be the first person we reach out to when we go on our next trip :)

Sydney has become our go to for caring for our pup. My dog is always thrilled when he goes there for a stay. Sydney cares for him like her own and sends pic updates without us even asking. She is the best and her dog Paisley is the sweetest too!

Not only did Sydney take the best care of my pup, but her dog & my dog quickly became BFFs! From parks to beaches to extra doggy snuggles, Sydney took him on all sorts of adventures. I wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay there again!

Every morning I take my dog on a short walk to a nearby grassy park. This park is fenced in and If friends are there we will let her get some play time in. At home we love play fetch, do some tricks, and cuddle. We may go on a day trip to golden gate park and have a dog car seat so she can be strapped in for the ride. We go to a dog park every day at 6pm so our pup can be socially stimulated!
