Safety, trust & environment

I know pets are family, and trusting someone new can feel nerve-wracking. I’m extremely detail-oriented and observant, so I notice the little things that make each pet unique. I will keep you updated with photos, videos, and notes — whether it’s a silly moment, a new favorite toy, or a peaceful nap. I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they always feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behavioral quirks, or routines that I should be aware of. I’m happy to accommodate dietary restrictions, medical needs, anxiety triggers, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. I can also follow specific training commands, playtime preferences, or walking routines. My goal is to provide care that matches their unique personality.

A typical day

With my Corgi, we love playing fetch and tug-of-war, going for runs or hikes, working on puzzle games, and many other fun activities. I’d be happy to continue any special playtime routines your pet is used to, or introduce new games to keep them happy, engaged, and active!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sydney — I’m 26, have a degree in Animal Science, and most of my professional career has been dedicated to working with North American wildlife. I have also spent many years caring for all kinds of pets — miniature donkeys, horses, snakes, cats, dogs, birds… you name it! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. My Corgi, Winnie, is my best friend and adventure buddy — she’s smart, sassy, and full of energy, so I’m very used to keeping active pups entertained and happy. I also have a sweet rescue cat named Shimmy (who thinks he’s a dog), a corn snake named Mochi, and some freshwater fish who keep things peaceful. Whether your pet needs playtime, training help, meds, or just a buddy to hang with while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I always send photo updates and little check-ins so you can see how they’re doing (and get your daily dose of cuteness). Can’t wait to meet your pets and give them all the love they deserve! 🐶🐱💛

There's a reason Sydney is rated 5 stars. She took great care of Luna. Sydney knew exactly what to do to gain Luna's trust. They quickly became friends. Highly recommended.

Sydney remains the champion of pet sitting. We were gone for a week and we came home to happy, healthy cats. She always provides excellent updates and lots of pictures, and goes the extra mile in figuring out each cat’s favorite toy for the best possible playtime. Sydney is simply the best!

Sydney has been great and understanding of my two pups, one of which has IVDD and is paralyzed in her hind legs. She’s awesome and gave referred her to my neighbors.

Sydney was amazing. Extremely communicative, helped me out a ton in a bind, exceptionally friendly. My cats are disabled and she was professional and courteous when handling their special needs. Could not of asked for a better sitter. Will be booking again. Thank you so much
