Pet care has been a regular part of my daily routine for many years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, including feeding, administering medications, exercising, grooming, and providing companionship. I enjoy being active outdoors, so daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities fit naturally into my schedule. My remote work and lifestyle allow me to maintain a consistent routine and be attentive to animals needs throughout the day. I value creating a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home: I provide a calm, pet friendly environment completely free of hazards where animals can safely decompress and feel like part of the family. I have a fenced in grassy yard and an air-conditioned clean home for them to enjoy to the fullest! In my client's Home (Drop Ins, House Sitting, & Walks): I strictly adhere to the specific instructions, feeding schedules, and household rules you provide. My goal is to minimize your pet's stress by keeping their familiar routine exactly as it is. For dogs, this may mean energetic, active outdoor time (beach runs, trail hikes, or neighborhood walks) or just some playtime in the yard! For cats, I focus on dedicated environmental enrichment, fresh water, meticulous litter care, respecting their space and offering cozy cuddles only when they are comfortable.

Information Sydney L. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the absolute safest and most comfortable experience for your pet, it is incredibly helpful to know a few details in advance! Please share their exact feeding schedule and portions, any current medical needs or required medications, and their specific behavior quirks, especially how they react to other animals, strangers, or loud noises during walks. Knowing their favorite hiding spots, preferred toys, and any absolute no-nos (like guarding food or a dislike of having their paws touched) helps me seamlessly match their routine. Ultimately, your clear boundaries combined with my animal science background ensure your furry family member stays happy, healthy, and safe!

A typical day

I love matching my energy to your pet’s unique personality so they have the absolute best time while you're away! For active pups, that means hitting the Florida sunshine for beach walks, local trail hikes, neighborhood runs, or spirited games of fetch. For curious cats, I keep things exciting with interactive feather wands, laser pointers, and toys that spark their natural hunting instincts. If your pet is a senior or a dedicated cuddle bug, then the fun transforms into premium pampering, complete with gentle brushings, favorite treats, and plenty of cozy couch snuggles. No matter the activity, I ensure every game stays safe, structured, and perfectly tailored to your pet's stamina and energy level!

Pet care experience

Aloha! I’m a Hawaii girl who recently brought my deep love for animals to Florida. With a degree in Animal Science from UC Davis, I have a strong, professional foundation in animal behavior and health. I am completely comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes from tiny kittens to large dogs and even farm animals. I missed having daily animal companionship so much that I decided to bring my passion to Rover! What a Day With Me Looks Like: Your pup will get the perfect mix of high energy adventure and cozy downtime. A typical day with me includes: -Active Adventures: Energetic beach walks, hiking local trails, or neighborhood runs. -Reliable Care: Strict adherence to feeding schedules, hydration, and safety protocols. -Premium Cuddles: Plenty of dedicated one on one attention, belly rubs, and couch snuggles.

Sydney was a joy to work with! Her conscience care for the dogs, her flexibility with our needs and her kindness were very welcome to this nervous client. We’ve never had to leave our dogs with a stranger before and Syndney made us so comfortable by staying in close communication and willingly carrying out our requests. She went above and beyond what we could have expected. You and your pets will be lucky to have Sydney as a pet sitter!

Sydney was wonderful and very helpful. She responded very fast to every text/email I sent her. She was very dependable and professional. She stayed at my home to take care of my puppy and his mom. I was so happy that they were not alone while I was gone. She did beyond and above what I would expect.

I greatly appreciated Sydney keeping me posted about how everything was going. My dog, Izzy, was very relaxed when I got home, which indicates that she also was very happy with Sydney!

Walker returned wagging his tail and with a smile on his furry face! She took him everywhere with her- even out to eat! We will definitely book with Sydney again.
