Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a new pet, I love learning about their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs they may have. I also like to know about feeding schedules, medications, leash behavior, comfort levels around other people or animals, and anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible for both you and your pet!

A typical day

I love making sure pets stay active, engaged, and happy while their owners are away! Depending on your pet’s personality and energy level, we may spend our time going on walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells around the neighborhood, enjoying outdoor time, or having cozy cuddle sessions indoors. I also love incorporating enrichment activities, playtime, and lots of positive attention to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or more laid back and affectionate, I always tailor our time together to what makes them happiest!

Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human

Pet care experience

I grew up on a hobby farm caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and just about every animal in between, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I was also actively involved in 4H and FFA, which taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different needs and personalities. I started pet sitting in Nashville in 2019 after moving here to pursue my music business degree, and since then, my business has grown entirely through referrals and repeat clients. I’m proud to say many of my clients have trusted me with their pets for years because I truly care for every animal like they’re my own. I have experience with overnight house sitting, drop-ins, walks, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I also know how important communication is, so I always provide updates with photos and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I like to joke that I become your pet’s second favorite human, but earning their trust and making them feel happy and cared for is genuinely the best part of what I do!

Sydney is extremely responsive, responsible, committed, and caring. I trust her with the care of my high-energy, occasionally sassy corgi. She understands the quirks that can come with taking care of dogs of different ages and demeanors, and is quick to text and ask for help if anything unusual comes up. Sydney has been a reliable dog sitter for me for over a year, and I would highly recommend her.

Sydney is our go-to for dog sitting! We have three pups, and Sydney juggles all three of them with ease. We always feel calm knowing she’s watching them, and giving them lots of love and attention.
