Pet care experience

Purr-fessional Pet Sitting by Syd!

Hi there! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and meeting their needs. My passion for pets led me to earn a degree in Animal Science, giving me specialized knowledge—especially when it comes to cats and pets with special healthcare needs. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and other critters, worked at PetSmart’s PetsHotel, and volunteered in animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and backgrounds. As a proud pet parent to three cats and a dog, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy, knowledgeable sitter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in expert, loving hands!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for cats and dogs in a client’s home, I prioritize trust, safety, and maintaining a stress-free environment for your furry friend. I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, dietary guidelines, medication (if needed), and playtime. I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything tidy, following any house rules, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their familiar space. Whether your cat needs a quiet presence and gentle care or your dog thrives on play and companionship, I adapt my approach to what makes them feel most secure. My goal is to provide loving, professional care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Sydney was a great sitter for my cats! I had booked her for daily check ins, and she did everything I asked, and she notified me when she couldn't quite do the check in at the allotted time. Overall, an excellent sitter!

From firsthand experience, I can confidently say Sydney is an amazing pet sitter! She treats every animal like her own and pays close attention to all the little details that make a big difference. With her degree in Animal Science, she brings a unique blend of knowledge and care with experience in handling medications, shots, and spotting potential concerns. I’ve seen how thoughtful and attentive she is, always asking the right questions to fully understand each pet’s needs and routine. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. Her lifelong love for animals and dedication to helping others really shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter, Sydney is the perfect choice!

Sydney was an amazing dog sitter! My dog is usually timid and shy, but he warmed up to her right away. She sent plenty of pictures and daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!

I can't recommend Sydney enough as a cat sitter! After some questionable experiences with other pet sitters in the DFW area, I was hesitant to leave my cat in someone else’s care again—but Sydney completely changed that for me. From the start, they were incredibly attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. They made sure my cat was not only well-fed and safe but also given plenty of attention, playtime, and love. The regular updates, photos, and videos gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Beyond being an amazing pet sitter, Sydney is also an incredible cat parent—her own cat, Lulu, is the sweetest angel baby, which says everything about the kind of love and care she gives to animals. I came home to a happy, stress-free cat. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Sydney is the one to trust!

Before pet sitting, I like to get a clear understanding of your pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical conditions, and any special care requirements. I’ll ask about their feeding schedule, allergies, medications, and any favorite activities or things that might scare them, like loud noises or other animals. Knowing their temperament—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need a bit more patience—helps me provide the best care possible. I’ll also confirm emergency contacts, vet info, and any house rules like furniture restrictions or walking preferences, so I can ensure everything goes smoothly while you’re away. The more details you can share, the better!
