Pet care experience

Law Student home for the summer!

I have had several pets in the house since the day I was born. I am comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes, even reptiles. I have a lot of experience with pets with special medical needs. My parents cat was diabetic and required insulin injections twice a day for about 6 years. So, I am comfortable administering most kinds of medication. I have a lot of experience working with animals with special medial needs. As well as working in rescue groups. My long term boyfriend is also a new veterinarian who just graduated so any medical questions you may have I can pass by him! I am currently a law student at capital university law school who is off for the summer! I am not currently working another job so my schedule is pretty flexible. I grew up in Dublin and also have an apartment in downtown Columbus. I also have my bachelor’s from Ohio State which I obtained in 2022. I pride myself on being very observant of pets and their behavior!

Safety, trust & environment

I pride myself first and foremost on safety and the well being of animals. I am very cautious when opening doors as I used to have a 3 cat household and they would sometimes try to bolt. Dogs are never let outside not attended and or on a leash.

Sydney filled right in for our regular sitter for our spicy, diabetic cat! She was patient and communicative, even when our cat wasn’t very friendly. Would hire again!

Sydney did a wonderful job taking care of our cats!!! After our initial meeting, we had high expectations - she exceeded them! She has a calm competence with animals that our pets clearly responded to. We have two cats: one who’s friendly but also assertive (sometimes overly so), and another who’s normally terrified of new people in our house. We assumed she’d never even see him. Instead, he didn’t run when Sydney entered (she even sent a photo!) and actually stayed with her and our other cat during the visit. That wasn’t luck, it was her experience showing. The depth of her experience, successfully handling all kinds of pet situations, makes her an outstanding choice for anyone needing a pet sitter. You'll feel comfortable that they're in good hands!

Sydney is great! She communicates well and send some cute photos of Serena. I could tell Serena was happy and comfortable with her! Even better, Serena was relaxed when I got home and hadn’t done any anxiety ridden destruction :) thanks Sydney!!

Syndey is great with my nervous senior Pomeranian. She follows up with pics and feedback after each visit. Great communication!
