Pet care experience

*If you are interested in in-home grooming services please select the drop in option!* In March 2020, I brought home my very best friend in the world: a golden retriever named Lulu. She’s taught me patience, playfulness and the importance of taking care of yourself and others. I am certified in dog and cat CPR and first aid and have cared for pets with special needs. I am also Fear Free certified, focusing on the wellbeing of animals in shelters and rescues. I’ve also been dog sitting for 6 years, caring for pets of friends and family as well as new friends! I also provide basic grooming services including baths and basic haircuts.

I can’t say enough good things about Sydney! While I was out of town, she took incredible care of my dog, sending me regular updates and the sweetest pictures. My dog always looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, not just about the job, but about the animals she looks after. Knowing my dog was in such loving hands gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for their pet!
