Pet care experience

Love all the fur babies!

I absolutely love dogs. My families dog passed away last year, and while I can’t take on a dog of my own I would love to help care for yours! My family had a chihuahua, but my extended family has had doodles, mixed breeds, beagles, and I have cared for friends larger mixed breeds, boxers, and even little weenie dogs! I am a great resource as I am reliable, I have a flexible schedule as I am an online college student, and access to parking downtown which makes walks around the lake easily accessible! I’d love to get to help care for your pups!

Safety, trust & environment

I started pet sitting beyond my families pets in high school, and since then have cared for so many of my friends pets. I know how important these pets are to each of them, and I want to do whatever I can to make their dogs happy. Again with having a very flexible schedule I can accommodate for more hands on pets. I love quality time, so I’d be happy to just be there for your pets. I am also really excited anytime I get to be outdoors in the beautiful weather in Austin. I would be happy to prioritize getting pets out into the world and being active myself! Ultimately I have a lot of time and energy to provide exactly the care your pet needs!

Sydney watched our two pups and our home for nearly two weeks. It was asking a lot, but she delivered. We couldn't be happier returning home to a clean house and happy pups. Highly recommend!

Sydney has been a great pet and house sitter for me in the past. I have used her when I have been gone for a long weekend and also 2-week long trips to watch my cats and they love her! She is kind and caring with my pets and always sends pet updates to give me peace of mind. I’d recommend her to any of my friends with pets of their own!

Sydney is a very thoughtful and trustworthy person. She dog sits my dogs every once in a while and everything always goes smoothly. My family and I have gone out of town about four times in the last year and each time, we have asked Sydney to take care of our two beagles. She follows every step in the lists that we give her and she always gives the dogs some much needed attention. I recommend Sydney because she is a hardworking and caring young lady.

Schedule

As I mentioned above I am an online college student. Most of my courses are asynchronous, allowing me to set my own schedule! I have a barista job as well but with minimal hours on the weekends. With that I can tailor my pet sitting to whatever is needed for each family!

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
I don’t have any breed preferences, though I would prefer none aggressive dogs! I would like to know if the dog has a tendency to try to get out.
