Pet care experience

A walk a day keeps the zoomies away

With over six years of pet care experience through Wag!, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and needs. My background in behavioral therapy has strengthened my patience, reliability, and ability to read subtle cues — skills that translate seamlessly into animal care. I grew up with three energetic border collies and currently have two friendly cats of my own. Whether it’s a structured walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a brand-new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhome that’s both cozy and modern. The partially fenced backyard gives pups a safe space to stretch their legs, while quick access to nearby walking trails and a park makes it easy to sneak in fun walks and outdoor adventures. It’s the perfect setup for happy, healthy dogs who love a mix of playtime and relaxation. I also have a catio for any cat parents looking for a good outdoor/indoor space for their fur baby! ***** PLEASE NOTE: if your pet’s profile has not been fully completed with accurate information regarding their care needs, health history, behavioral concerns, emergency contacts, and veterinary details, and if you have not thoroughly reviewed and understood Rover’s terms and expectations, I kindly ask that you do not initiate a new client service request. Providing complete and honest information is important not only for the safety and well-being of your pet, my pets, and my home, but also to help protect all parties involved: including pet owners, sitters, and Rover, should an emergency or unexpected situation ever arise. While issues are rare and have never occurred on my end, accurate communication and transparency are a required part of responsible care and are outlined within Rover’s terms of service. I make every effort to accommodate clients by offering meet-and-greets, maintaining open communication, and providing my personal contact information to ensure the best possible care experience. In return, I ask for the same level of honesty, respect, and consideration throughout the booking process.

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I keep a fairly open and adaptable schedule, so I’m able to accommodate visits, walks, or overnight care as needed. If a consistent schedule is preferred, I’m happy to work that out ahead of time; communication just helps ensure everything runs smoothly.

Sydney can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can keep them comfortable and consistent. I’m experienced with anxious and reactive dogs and can adjust walks, play, or schedules to match their temperament and comfort level. I also like to know what commands they respond best to and their favorite rewards or comfort items!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
