Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust is very important to me. I will never unleash your dog in public, I only feel comfortable doing so if there is a secure fence that I know they can't jump. I send photos and text updates as often as you'd like. I follow rules and instructions to a T and have no problem asking questions if they arise. I will make sure your pet has clean water and constant supervision.

Information Sydney M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is not comfortable around other dogs. I say this just in case we come across other dogs on walks!

A typical day

I enjoy hiking and walking trails with dogs! I also love watching them play in a sprinkler or with hose water in the summer time as long as there is time to dry and not be stinky. I also enjoy relaxing or sunbathing with a dog who isn't fond of long walks.

Pet care experience

Howdy! My name is Sydney and I am an Indianapolis native. I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, and bunnies. I started babysitting in middle school and then moved to overnight house/dogsitting in high school. I have stayed overnight anywhere from 1-10 days at many family friends and neighbors homes. I have experience with a nice range of breeds. German shephard (I grew up with a female shep!), pitties, golden doodles AND retrievers, dachshunds, shi tzus, pomeranians, australian shephards, labs, mixed breeds, etc. I am comfortable and experienced with daily walks, feeding and medication schedules, bathing (at Pet Supplies Plus!),and overnights. I am a very reliable and friendly person so you can depend on me showing up on time with a smile. I adore all animals as if they are my own. I even have affection for snakes, specifically ball pythons.

Sydney provided longterm care for my dog Ella while I was away on a job. I couldnt have picked a more reliable and caring person than her to make sure my girl was taken care of! She made sure she kept up to her very particular diet, and exercise schedule, and I loved the regular updates!

Sydney has always been a close family friend. We ask her to watch our dog during vacations and such and hope she is available. She has known our now 5 year old German Shepherd since he was a puppy. She is always reliable when it comes to taking care of our dog!
