Pet care experience

Your dogs new best friend!

I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages! I can teach basic skills like sit, paw, lay down, and roll over! I also have experience teaching puppies how to go up the stairs. I have some experience with blind dogs as well.

Sydney was excellent!! This was my first experience using Rover and she made the process very easy!! She was quick to respond and very attentive to our dog, Auggie. She took great care of him while we were overseas for 2 weeks! She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. I would recommend her to anyone!! ☺️

Dog Walking • Jun 20, 2025

Sydney was fantastic with Scooby! She was instantly bonded with him. He came back super happy and calm after a long walk. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and friendly to care for your dog. Would definitely book again!

Sydney took care of my high-maintenance Chihuahua overnight on very short notice, and she did absolutely amazing. My dog is a pretty anxious guy, who needs a lot of care and attention, and she did a great job taking care of him while also making him feel comfortable and safe in her apartment. I picked him up and could see that he had bonded with her in just the span of one night! Also, her services were pretty urgently needed, and I appreciated how quick Sydney was to respond to me and help me get things sorted. I highly recommend Sydney!

Safety, trust & environment

I have grown up with dogs but have no pets right now. Growing up I trained my dog to do all of the basics and I still take him on walks daily when I am at home. I look forward to meeting your pup¨̮

A typical day

A typical day starts out with a potty walk in the morning followed by some breakfast. I love to explore the parks in St. louis and can’t wait to bring your puppy with me. I have lots of dog toys to play with and will be an active dog watcher. Potty walks will be taken every 3-4 hours except during the work week. I can accommodate more walks if needed. Please note that when I am out of the house for work (M-F) your dog will be crated. I will walk them twice before leaving for work, and then once during lunch. Evening walks will follow accordingly!
