Pet Care with a Big Heart

Pet care experience

I come with a lifetime of experience in caring for dogs, having been a proud pet parent to multiple dogs at once. My dedication extends beyond my home; for over five years, I've acted as a foster parent for puppies, nursing mothers, and older dogs with medical needs through my local shelter. This role has entrusted me with various responsibilities, including bottle feeding newborn puppies, administering medications ranging from puppy treatments to anxiety management, and facilitating post-operative care. In addition, I've been the go-to dog sitter for numerous friends and family, often taking care of their homes in their absence. Currently, I share my life with a 3-year-old Boxer, who I had the pleasure of rescuing. I believe my diverse and extensive pet care experience positions me well to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets.

Sydney is the best there is, and we adore her! She takes such good care of our Bertie. She’s incredibly kind and has great energy that I think animals love too.

Sydney is the best with my big dog Wally! He loves seeing her every week and I trust she is keeping him safe which is a concern with a larger dog who pulls. Thanks Sydney!

Syndey was professional, prompt, and took very good care of Maple. Maple is a rambunctious pup but seemed to really enjoy the time spent with Sydney. Sydney was communicating through her visit and sent update photos. Thank you, Sydney

Safety, trust & environment

As someone who will be providing care in your own home, I respect and value your trust in allowing me to care for your beloved pet in their comfortable environment. My past experiences have included managing dogs that aren't trained off-leash or may attempt to escape the yard, making me particularly vigilant and cautious in my approach to pet care. You can have confidence in my diligence, knowing I will constantly have an attentive eye on your pet. Whether it's playing, feeding, or administering medication, I am committed to ensuring your pet is safe and content while under my watch.

Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

Before watching a dog, I'd like to know: Any medical issues or allergies. Daily routine and feeding schedule. Favorite toys or games. Behavior around other dogs and people. Any specific fears or triggers. Knowing these helps ensure a safe and happy stay for your pup!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active! We'll play games, practice commands, and explore the many parks in my neighborhood. Safety's key, so they'll always be on a leash during walks. Excited to make memories with your pup!

I currently work part time, so I have plenty of opportunity to care for your fur-baby! Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-1pm are the only times I'll have class and be unavailable. I'm the type of person who can schedule a lot into a day, so if you're flexible with me I can be flexible with you!
