Furry Friend Extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

*Please be aware- my quiet hours are 7am-5pm. I WORK a DAYTIME job at Colonial Williamsburg. Feel free to contact me, but be aware I probably won't answer to new bookings until later in the day if you contact me during this window of time. Thank you!* I have lots of experience with dog/pet sitting!! I have had a dog since I was 9, an adorable Cocker Spaniel. I love dogs of any type! I'm also good with other fluffy pets such as Cats, Gerbils, Hamsters, Rabbits and Ferrets. I know how to manage fish, and a small amount about lizards and turtles also. (I DO NOT do snakes!!! very terrified of them i won't go within 500 feet of any space that has them! If you have a snake in the house, choose a different sitter, I politely refuse.) I'm capable of caring for pets with specific needs or illnesses requiring regular medication as well. (I'm really good at getting them to take pills!) I do very well with the spastic, skittish and timid dogs. My current dogs have to have a special diet so i'm also used to that. I can text you daily &/or send you a picture of your furry friends for peace of mind. Want to skype them? No Problem! I have passed & am certified with these Holly & Hugo courses- Animal Psychology Ultimate Guide To Dog Grooming Animal Training & Pet Sitting Animal Care This helps with giving your pets the best care! I can't wait to meet your Furry Family Members! *COVID NOTE* I am vaccinated & boostered and will take appropriate precautions while with your fur family! Please let me know if you have additional Precautions other than the standard ones. Thanks!

Sydney was fantastic with our pup! We contacted her at the last minute while visiting from out of town. She was friendly, communicative, and punctual, and we felt very comfortable leaving Olive with her for a couple of hours while we went to dinner.

I love your pets as if they were my own! If you give me directions on their care, I follow them to the letter! Let me know what you prefer for their care.

Information Sydney L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their personality, needs and any necessary information. I am somewhat uncomfortable with dogs trained to attack. I can take care of them but I insist on meeting them before you leave, and knowing the commands for those dogs. I am happy watching any breed, size or etc. I am uncomfortable with needles, so dogs that need insulin shots or other types of shots daily, need to probably check out another awesome sitter that is capable of this. (I don't want to hurt them even more!) Thanks!

A typical day

I will do whatever you would do with your dog! I adore dogs & cats and would care for them like my own. We'll play and just have a good time. Sometimes we just sit on the couch and read a book or watch TV. Or we go play ball, frisbee, tug of war,chase or tag! I might even be able to teach your pup a new trick! PLEASE remember- I can modify any request to fit your needs. I can help if you have a sporadic schedule or other difficulties and am willing to work with you on this. Rover.com does not allow booking outside of the site and I do not accept any requests that mention it. If you even mention booking outside the site, my account will be flagged and possibly suspended. Thank you!
