I have known Sydney and her family for quite some time and She has cared for multiple dogs throughout the time i've known her. Her mom's Shih-tzu cookie is very, VERY picky about who can groom her, even professional groomers often have a hard time getting her to cooperate. Sydney is pretty much the only person i've ever seen who can groom cookie without any fuss whatsoever. She is warm, friendly, and super patient with pets, and has dogsat on tons of occasions with many different pups. Basically anything with four legs and a tail that barks is Syd's new best friend, she loves every dog she meets, big or small, young or old, and always makes a point of making sure any pup she looks after is comfortable and cared for no matter what.
