Flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
I am a 21 year old who has had dogs all my life with my parents. I am used to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I've taught my dogs how to sit and shake. I have a reliable form of transportion. I have also taken care of fish, tortoises, and cats. I am able to pet sit cats. I just don't have as much experience with litter boxes and grooming, but I love to play with cats and I know how to clean out a litter box.
Reviews
Sydney has a lovely attitude, was on time, and very responsive to Tucker.
Sydney was great and is very friendly! Would recommend to anyone!
Sydney is so incredibly wonderful! She’s so great with all the fur babies. She sends lots of adorable updates and photos and takes such great care of the animals. Very highly recommend her!
Sydney did not stick to the schedule of care agreed to in writing based on information provided by her. She changed her schedule to add meetings and absences after we were gone on vacation. She called our contacts to cover this and did not inform us ahead of time. She described herself as having a dependable car. Yet claimed her car needed repair on a Friday night. This resulted in her being away 12 hours without notifying us. She refused alternate offer of a ride to our home once we discovered dog alone. In the end, she abandoned care and used our emergency back up to pick up our dog at 10:00 p.m. at night three days early. We met with Sydney twice to share the importance of our rescue dog having a predictable schedule and not being left alone too long. Sydney provided a schedule of work and school commitments and then confirmed the schedule worked in writing. Sydney did a nice job when she was with our dog and presents herself in a poised manner. Yet, in the end, she did not seem to have the best interests of our dog in mind over, in her words, her being entitled to seeing friends, job, school and studying. Bottom line, not honest about ability to fulfill this job unless flexible schedule means dog owner needs to be flexible and not depend on consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment
When I am taking care of my dogs at home I will usually let them out to go to the bathroom when they wake me up and then feed them around 6am and then they go on their morning walk. Then I will play with then and let them out when they tell me they need to go out. For dinner my dogs get fed at 5pm and then once it cools down they get their second walk of the day. I have brushed my dogs teeth and have given them a bath.
Information Sydney M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any disabilities, if they love to bite, if they are an energetic dog, and if they do not like being touched.
A typical day
I really like playing fetch with any dogs I watch and if the dogs are not into fetch I will fun around the yard with them. If it is a weekend I would love to go hiking with the dogs that I watch.
