Pet care experience

As an RN, I’m a Reliable Nurturer.

I am a registered nurse but my passion for providing love and care extends past humans. I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. Both domestic and exotic, from cats and dogs to snakes, ferrets, birds and other creatures rehabilitating or simply fostering. In my profession, I work with different kinds of people with all types of medical backgrounds. It is my desire to provide others with companionship and give people back some independence our four legged friends can help us achieve, I’m currently studying to be certified as a service dog trainer. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I understand the importance of trust, patience, and love when it comes to caring for your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every animal as if they were my own same as I do when I’m caring for your family members. With my background in both healthcare and animal care, you can rest assured your fur baby will be in safe, compassionate, and experienced hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend!

Sydney is one of the most caring people I know. Not only does she care for humans but her love for animals of all kind could not be any bigger. She has a heart of gold, a touch so gentle, and a soul so bright that she is loved by many.

Schedule

Pet care is my life!!! We truly live a blessed lifestyle where we’re able to cater to our animals and help others around us with theirs. My husband and I volunteer at local shelters to help train and support dogs on their adoption journey. I decided I want to further my dog training skills specializing in service work for people with special needs/disabilities, so I said goodbye to critical care nursing to “embark” on this adventure full time. I am home 90% of the time as most of my clients are board and trains. Animals in my care will be on a schedule customized to your needs and the needs of your furry friend. I will provide fun photos and updates throughout the day. Anything you and your furry friend need to feel comfortable and cared for is my pleasure to provide. As a mother and dog mom I understand the importance of having a safe environment for your loved ones. My husband works from home as well so someone will always be available!

Safety, trust & environment

As a Registered Nurse and dog trainer, I work well in challenging settings and situations. We have experience with animals that display aggression and anxiety, chronic illnesses, disabilities and much more. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified. Whether I am in your home to take your furry friend for a walk or you are boarding with me, I will provide your loved ones with everything they need maintaining safety and security.

Pets

A typical day

Be a cat or dog… every animal needs stimulation and a release. We are here to help! Your furry friend will go on 2 walks a day (morning and evening) but we also spend a lot of time in our fenced yard. We love to play in water and have plenty of toys I disinfect with a pet safe solution between use. We truly have a passion for all animals and are thrilled to have them! Don’t be shy, swing on by! We would love to show you around!

Your furry family members are treated like my own, providing peace of mind for you and comfort for them!
