I’m here for you and your pets!

Pet care experience

I'm a traveling sitter who strives to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and loved while you're away. You pet will have fun under positive and structured care. I provide walks and runs, mid-day bathroom beaks, dinner and breakfast feeding, plus multi-day sitting. If you need it, I can probably do it. Personally, I’ve cared for Dogs, Cats, Horses, and once a Guinea Pig. Among the many things I've learned over my years of caring for animals, the one I take most seriously has been the importance consistency holds when it comes to your animal's diet and routines. For many years I worked as a stable manager for a boarding facility where I cared for client's horses on a daily basis. I know how stressful it can be for your animals to have you away, so while in my care I work hard to keep them happy, exercised, and loved. I care to know their usual day-to-day schedules, tricks, and vocabulary so I can do my best to keep things consistent while the are in my care. I welcome the most anxious client to contact me as often as they please. Why I love dogs My first dog was a Springer Spaniel/Border Collie mix. My family rescued him from our local human society as a 3 year old. Bandit was an amazing companion as a young girl, my first true love and the reason I LOVE dogs. I have administered medicine to cats, dogs, and horses; I require that the owner leave written instructions.

Syndey was great! We had an issue where a previously booked sitter had to cancel on us the day before we had to take off for a wedding Thurs-Sun. We contacted her that Wednesday and she met up with us in the evening for a meet & greet. Even with extra on her plate, she was able to provide us with support! It was clear she has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals. She got along great with our two dogs and provided us with updates & pictures during her stay. We definitely recommend Syndey if you are looking for a caring & reliable sitter!

Sydney was great with our two boys. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend & we were able to travel with no hesitations!

Sydney was great. Our dogs, who have some separation anxiety, seemed to be fine with her for the weekend. She stayed with them at our house over two nights and left our house undisturbed. We also appreciated that she kept us updated with text messages. Thanks Sydney!

Information Sydney F. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences. I would like to know of any precautions I need to take with this dog along the lines of people and other animal interactions. Additionally I would like to know any personality quirks that the owners experience frequently or think I should be aware of. Finally I need to know of any medical issues the dog is having currently or relevant medical issues from the past.

A typical day

For all stays, I recommend overnight care, this is where I stay in your home with your pet while you are away. I believe this makes for a more normal environment for your pet, rather than the more common "drop in" visit type of sitting. There is no extra charge for overnight care. I spend at least 3 hands on hours with your pet each day. This would include feeding times potty breaks, and walks. In addition to that time, I’ll be there overnight. Extra house-sitting services will be agreed upon on a case by case basis.
