Safety, trust & environment

I am fully vaccinated and adapt to the specific needs of your animals to ensure they are calm, safe and comfortable in your absence. For new clients, our initial meet and greet is the perfect time to show me around your place and introduce me to your pets :) I can also bring in your mail, water plants or feed the fish!

Information Sydney G. would like to know about your pet

I welcome all breeds. Please let me know about personality, quirks and favorite activities, along with any medicine or special needs :) I want your animals to enjoy having me around.

A typical day

We can play ball, frisbee, and go for walks! Or we can just have belly rubs and a lazy cuddle together :) For the shy fur babies, I am patient and let them warm up to me on their own time.

Pet care experience

I love animals! My family has rescued cats for as long as I can remember, and I now have an orange tabby cat of my own named Ponyo!! Dogs are great too, so I've always loved to spend time with friend's and family's dogs (since the cats in my life will not allow permanent canine residents...lol). I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and love to cuddle with them! I am also comfortable caring for other pets, including reptiles, hamsters or fish. I am very responsible and organized, so your home and pets will be in great hands :) My top priorities are safety and most importantly, FUN! I offer everything from drop-in visits and dog walks to overnight stays at your place. Your fur baby will receive all the companionship and playtime that he or she needs!
