About Sydney H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being above all else. When at a client's home, I maintain a respectful and tidy environment, following all instructions meticulously to provide consistent care. I am always sure to send photo and video updates as I know as a pet mom it can be stressful leaving them alone! I’m always attentive to their routines and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and treating each pet as if they were my own.
Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any issues with food aggression or aggression of any kind, special needs, and dislikes/likes so I can provide the best quality care. For potential dog walking clients, please inform me of your dogs ability to interact with other dogs (aggressive, shy, social, etc) as well as if they’re a puller or not!
A typical day
As a physically active person myself, I love going on walks/runs, playing catch, and just generally getting outside with dogs! For cats, I engage with their favourite toys and play stimulating games that get their hunting drive going (catnip also helps!)

Dedicated & Experienced Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m a responsible pet sitter with over a decade of experience providing compassionate care to dogs, cats, and reptiles. As someone who is passionate about the well-being of pets with a lifelong love for animals, I have gained plentiful experience in pet/house sitting over the course of the last 12 years, and I currently care for two cats, a dog, and three geckos of my own! I’m dedicated to giving pets the care they need to thrive, and keep their owners time away stress-free. I’m comfortable & experienced with all dog breeds large or small, for overnight stays, drop-ins and walks. Also comfortable with all breeds of cats, however, please note I do not offer care for outdoor cats. When caring for cats, I keep them strictly indoors for the duration of my drop in/stay for their safety :)

Reviews
Sydney was an amazing caregiver/house sitter for our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We received lots of updates along with photos everyday. Sydney made sure Oscar and Felix were happy and healthy. She is honest, reliable, loves animals and peace of mind communication made for a worry free vacation. When we returned, Oscar and Felix were two happy kitties and our house was clean and tidy. We highly recommend Sydney. She’s a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you, Sydney!
We just got our sweet Regina a little over a week ago, and my husband and I had plans to go camping this past weekend. I went on Rover to see if anyone came up, and I found Sydney. I messaged her, asking if she would be interested in setting up a time to meet her, and we did. She came over, Regina seemed to like her, and we decided to give it a go. For the first time of leaving our cat behind, I was very happy with how Sydney handled everything. Checked in each time she came over to check on her, sent pictures, made sure she ate, cleaned the litter box, followed all the instructions I had left, everything went perfect. Sydney is really sweet, nice, and her love of animals is apparent. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter and will rebook her myself in the future :)
Sydney is always professional and reliable, we are so thankful for her care! She follows the instructions given clearly and always gives our Lilo lots of play time outside. Thanks Sydney!
Sydney is incredibly caring and generous when it comes to taking care of pets and children. We have two cats and Sydney makes a great cat co-mom!
