Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and loving pet sitter!
Hi! I’m Sydney, and I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I previously worked as a kennel attendant at a local animal shelter, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring the overall health and safety of the dogs in my care. I am experienced with senior and special needs dogs, including administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are, especially for pets who need extra support. I’ve cared for puppies, high-energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets with strict routines. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal schedule while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar environment and routine. I understand that staying in their own space reduces stress and helps them feel safe and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any household rules. I am respectful of your home and maintain a clean, secure environment at all times. I ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured and prioritize your pet’s safety during walks and outdoor time. Clear communication is very important to me, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Sydney watched our 2 kitties for a week while we were on vacation. When I met her and saw her passion for animals, and kindness I knew she would do a good job. Every check in she gave great updates, and pictures which made me feel at ease. I could tell the boys liked her too from the pictures she sent! She also followed all care/house instructions as well. I’m extremely thankful I found her to care for our cats, and look forward to her helping us in the future!!
Sydney was great- she was very attentive to the needs of my dogs - they are both very spoiled & want a lot of attention! She did more than necessary to pick-up/clean-up after my dogs.
Sydney proved to be an invaluable asset during a family emergency. Her timely assistance was instrumental in resolving the situation, and our dog, Sophie, formed an instant bond with her. Sydney provided exceptional care for Sophie, treating her as if she were her own canine companion. We are confident in our decision to seek Sydney’s services again in the future.
Sydney did an amazing job watching my cat for the week. She was on time each day and gave updates on how he was doing while we were gone. She was able to give him his medication while I was gone which I really appreciated and checked for mail as well. I came home to a happy kitty! It was clear Sydney gave him lots of attention and cuddles during the visits and I would happily book with Sydney again.
Sydney looked after my 2 cats while I was on a camping trip. She took excellent care of my pets, was on time and thorough with the care instructions. Sydney has a warm personality, is very professional and communicates well.
Sydney was a godsend with our 2 dogs. She met them twice before our trip since we have a nervous pup & she put her right at ease. I've never seen our girl be so good with someone so quickly. We got regular updates & pictures & I know that our doggies were in the best hands while we were gone. Will 100% be contacting her again! She's the best!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to every pet I care for. I structure my daily routine around feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care needs to ensure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. Because this is my primary job, I am able to be flexible, maintain consistent routines, and provide dependable updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
