Highlights
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
We had such a great experience with Syd! She stayed overnight with our two little girls, and it was obvious from the pictures and videos she sent that they absolutely loved her❤️. I really appreciated all the updates, it gave us such peace of mind, knowing that they were happy and cared for while we were away. Syd also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and even tidying up the house a bit, which was a nice surprise to come home too. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home and caring for our girls. I would highly recommend Syd and will definitely be reaching out to her again. 🐾
Sydney is always a joy to work with. She is responsive, has great communication and our boy Frankie just loves her. She is super attentive to his needs, plays with him, and is so caring to him. We appreciate Sydney!

Sydney is exceptional! She takes wonderful care of our dog, cats and tortoise. She is a responsible, considerate, caring person. We are so fortunate to have her take care of our pets! Sydney is simply the best!
Literally the best! My fur babies love and look forward to seeing Sydney. She always goes above and beyond.
Syd is a ball of energy and sweetness. She’s timely and attentive. My Fiona enjoys her time with her. Will definitely book her again.

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.

- 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!
