Availability

I'm currently working full time, but I work from home, so my schedule has some flexibility. My children play sports, so every weekend isn't open during soccer season. With that being said, I am looking to cut back on hours and still have availability to give animals the care they need.

Information Sydney L. would like to know about your pet

I have not worked with dogs that have disabilities. I am not opposed to working with them, but would require care instructions if they need specific care.

A typical day

My favorite game to play with dogs is tug of war, but I also really enjoy fetch and a dog that wants to challenge me physically with long walks or even runs.

I always win playing tug of war.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm with dogs of various breed. I'm used to long walks and playing a variety of games as well as providing care to the elderly canines.

Sydney was amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! During her drop-in visits, she would stay for a while and play with the cats and send lots of pictures. Her consistent communication helped put my mind at ease during our first trip away from the kitties. I would definitely recommend Sydney and will be booking with her again!

Sydney did an excellent job with my dog. Since we adopted him, over 5 years ago, he has always been with my husband & me. We were traveling out of the country; so, we couldn’t take him along. I was very concerned with how he would do away from us. Sydney sent pictures showing how well he was doing. It eased my mind & allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. When we returned & came to pick him up, I wasn’t sure he wanted to go home. The next time we need a place for Rico, I definitely will be booking with Sydney.
