Dogs are My Passion

Pet care experience

Aren’t dogs the best creatures in the world?! Their constant love and compassion is utterly amazing to me. There’s a zen-like peace of mind I get whenever I’m around dogs, so I’ve always tried to give back to them and make them happy however I can! I absolutely love working with pups, so being a professional dog sitter really is a dream come true for me. My only goal is to give every dog in the world a reason to smile! I’ve been a longtime dog lover, but my experience with them is very extensive. I have over 21 years of experience working with pups. I’ve been a volunteer at Petco and Petsmart events, and have really enjoyed helping pups out in need. Now, I’m a full-time Rover sitter have loved every minute of it! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I would, however, need to know if your dog is aggressive or not, especially with baths. Like most dogs, I'm also pretty sensitive myself, so getting the full report on your pup is of the utmost importance to me. I'm willing to work with special needs dogs since I too have special needs. I would like to know if your dog is more hyperactive or gentle, since I work best with gentle dogs. I love affectionate dogs, too!

Sydney K. recently dog sat for our family. This was my first experience using a dog sitter. She followed all written and verbal instructions. My dogs were well cared for under Sydney's watch. The only thing that may have been missing was some affection. They absolutely love being petted and loved on. I didn't get the impression that happened, not that it was required, but would have been nice. Thanks

Sydney did an excellent job taking care of my fur baby. She communicated daily with photos. She even worked with Belle on transitioning from potty pads to out doors. She was great with Belle. I will use Sydney again and recommend her.

Information Sydney K. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I put dogs first and foremost on all of my visits. I'll clean them, let them out, make sure they're fed, and to help if something is bothering them. I treat every dog like my own child with absolute love and care. I love to go on walks, run around with them in the yard, play with any toys they have, so getting lots of exercise is always on the menu! We will go on walks to parks or around the neighborhood, and I’m always excited to explore what great things are in the area. Usually I walk a few times around the block, but I love taking dogs out to one of many local parks within the Burleson and Fort Worth Areas, there's plenty of wonderful places that dogs love!
