Pet care experience

I'll love them like they're my own!

I have been a committed petsitter for more than 8 years. I have lovingly cared for a wide variety of animals including varying breeds, ages, behavioral and medical issues. I run a nonprofit dog rescue and have fostered 50+ dogs, many of whom I have steadily worked through behavioral and medical issues with, as well as individual quirks, and I adored them all the same! I have a proven track record of maintaining a safe, fun, loving environment for animals while their humans cannot be there with them. I provide daily updates, paired with quick communication to pet parents. I am comfortable administering medication and specialized care to give your animals the individualized care and support they need to thrive giving their humans peace of mind they are being loved and cared for like my own. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals in the clients home. For cats, dogs and other animals that need drop in care I am readily available to give your pets all the love they need on a drop in basis. When staying for longer periods I care for the animals in their home overnight and am able to stay at the residence for most of the days, and all night. I often enjoy bringing my well behaved and well balanced 6 year old golden retriever with me for overnight care when possible, but I am also available for animals who may not allow her to accompany me, in which case I would be able to come on my own.

Sydney helped us with in-home visits for 2 cats while we had a weekend trip. She was great. Helpful, friendly, reliable, and accommodating. Happy to recommend and will definitely contact again in the future.

Sydney was awesome with our 7-month-old kitten for twice daily hour-long visits while we were away for a few days! We had a nice meet and greet before booking and felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She is very communicative and easy to connect with, she shared great updates with every visit and lots of great pictures and videos of our cat playing ☺️ We’d highly recommend her for catsitting!!!

Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.

Schedule

I own a 6 year old rescue golden who is my world. I periodically foster dogs who I effectively change routine as needed or get them on our existing routine of 2 walks and meals a day, and tons of play and cuddles in between. I am a college student at Cal State Long Beach. Walks and hanging out with the animals are a key part of my day. I am available most mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks, check ins and overnight care. As my school schedule changes my availability will be updated.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sydney can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your animal has any medical needs or behavioral quicks that will require management. I am easily able to accommodate an individualized schedule and routine for pups like this with advance notice and can follow any existing routine and medical regimen as well.
