Safety, trust & environment

I treat overnight stays like your furry friends favorite sleepover. I will be sure to maintain their daily routines promptly and thoroughly, sprinkle in some of their favorite things, and shower them in love to keep them distracted from missing you too much while you're away. As for my more shy friends, I will be sure to acts smoothly and calmly throughout the night. I will try to build their trust by bringing as much predictibility as possible in this unusual situation.

Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to hear about your pets personality! Do they have favorite activities or pet peeves? Also please inform me of any allergies, disabilities, or special concerns you may have.

A typical day

My goal is to help keep your pets happy and healthy through mental and physical enrichment. During our time together we will go on walks, stopping to smell the fire hydrants, play with their favorite toys, and keep up with training as needed. I will be sure to keep your fur-babies and their environments clean, keep them well-fed, and hopefully return them to you ready for a nap and more cuddles.

Sydney is kind and gentle with animals, she has a calm and understanding way of engaging with them. She's very thoughtful and we're happy that Poppy is in good hands while we're away. My dog is not trusting and has some anxiety, and Sydney has been working with her on that, and she has calmed down a lot, even turning into butter with some head rubs. Sydney is also responsive, responsible, has a genuine love of animals and just all around a great person who brings positive vibes.

Sydney is an absolute gem! She has a background in both human and veterinary medicine which makes me feel safe to trust my pets under her care. As a woman who is slightly neurotic about my dog and her routines and diet, I had very specific instructions for the care of my dog. Sydney went above and beyond to fulfill the requirements, and I fully trust her. She is very kind and loving towards my dog and I highly recommend her for any pet care needs you have.

Sydney is a great caretaker for our 3 indoor cats and our 3 outdoor cats. She ensures that they are groomed regularly and that they exercise daily.
