Only the best pet care

Pet care experience

Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile. I love rescue dogs and mutts. You'll find me knowledgeable, patient, and kind, with approaches tailored to the needs of each dog. Small dogs are welcome here! My two dogs were adopted from shelters and they've grown and opened up so much since I adopted them. For walking, dog sitting, and drop-in visits, I’m happy to work with all animals (cats, ferrets, and more) and all sizes. Feel free to ask about pet grooming services. I’ve been grooming poodles for over 10 years and groom all of my own dogs. Looking forward to meeting you and your animal companion(s). Dogs enrich my life in so many ways and your family member will be treated like family. Please note: By requesting to book me, you are agreeing to refund the carer (me) for any damage done to my dog's toys, home, and other belongings. If you have a puppy, please provide chewing toys and non-destructible materials for the dog to use. For example, you can get No-Hide chews, bully sticks, Himalayan dog chews (yak milk chews), and Kong toys. Thank you, and looking forward to having a fun time with your animal companion!

Sydney was very caring and proactive with Bendy. The outside yard seemed to be just perfect for Bendy to play in. Sydney showed a lot of caring by sending a lot of “current activity”photos periodically throughout the day and kept me updated of the well being status. Sydney provided extra treats and toys for Bendy’s entertainment. I felt that Bendy was in great care under Sydney and I would definitely re-book our future services with her. Thanks!

Sydney is the most attentive and caring dogcare person I have ever worked with. When I dropped off Una I felt confident she would be taken care of and when I picked Una up she seemed happy as could be. Una and Sydney had a report almost immediately. She got healthy treats and had such fun times with Sydney's three dogs, who are calm, cute and fun to play with! Sydney communicated quickly and frequently. I highly recommend Sydney!

Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know a few things about your pupper/s: (1) Any medical issues? (2) Allergies? (3) Special foods? (4) No-nos? (5) Training protocols to consider? (6) Housetrained? Does your dog get car sick? (7) Anything else you think will be relevant to having a safe, enjoyable stay!

A typical day

* Fun, active walks in local grassy parks * Safe car rides to dog-friendly treat stores * Positive Reinforcement Protocols: I do not use sprays, prong collars, or other "corrections" for any dogs. My approach is calm, patient, assertive, and based on mutual trust and building safety. I am comfortable working with shy, anxious, and fearful dogs, and dogs who are healing from trauma.
