I currently attend Vet School at KSU. My school schedule is typically the same throughout the weekdays, but the hours allow me to spend a lot of time with your pets in the mornings and evenings. I sometimes get done in the early afternoons as well! I’m available everyday of the week in the later part of the days, and most weekends! I would love to be able to share my great amount of down time with your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to follow the instructions of the client when asked to care for their pet. If pets are allowed to roam free while alone, I always ensure there are no potential hazards for them to get into, and any rooms that are off limits have doors closed. Personally, I offer multiple opportunities to go outside for bathroom breaks and to play throughout the day. I use excitement and calmness when interacting with the pet to keep them engaged. When the pet makes it clear they want attention or to play, I give it to them and do not pick a phone/computer over them. The dogs I grew up with, were on a strict time feeding schedule, so I understand the importance of feeding other pets on their schedule as well.

Information Sydney K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Let me know if there is anything specific I can do for your pet to help calm them down when stressed, or if it is something that simply makes them happy!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally tally. Well play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm, I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets. Specifically with dogs, I’ve raised a litter of puppies, trained a bird hunting dog, and trained three dogs for my parents. My hobbies typically involve dogs, and I’ve found myself to be very patient with all dog personality types. I’m great with puppies, senior dogs, and adult dogs.

Sydney stayed at our home and provided care for our two boxers, male and female, on multiple occasions. She followed feeding schedules and outdoor activity requests. The boxers responded to her in a positive manner during her times of providing care.

I met Sydney through a family friend. I had an emergency with my dog and due to family obligations, I had to be pulled away which was a very scary situation. Sydney went out of her way to help us, which meant a lot. She cared for the dog, which displayed her love for animals, but she even kept me updated and at ease, which is something completely different and additional. Even with the emergency long passed and my dog doing well, she has checked in multiple teams now. Her empathy, passion, and kind nature is a terrific fit for any animal and animal lover.
