Pet care experience

Paws-itively Reliable Care!

I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, birds, amphibians, and fish—for clients, coworkers, friends, and family. My services include everything from short drop-in visits to long-term house-sitting, with stays ranging from a few days to over a month. While living abroad, I spent nearly half my time house-sitting—experiences not reflected on Rover—providing personalized care like senior support, puppy training, medication administration, and managing special diets. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once (typically 4–5), with breeds ranging from small Shih Tzus to lovable Pit Bulls. I love meeting new furry friends and work hard to keep their routines consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. Whether it’s a simple check-in or an extended stay, I’m here to give your pets the attentive, loving care they deserve—while treating your home with the same respect.

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to respect each pet owner's lifestyle while prioritizing the safety and well-being of their pets. Whether it’s house-sitting, drop-in visits, or feeding, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. For high-energy dogs, I’m happy to take them out for a run or playtime at a nearby park. If your pets prefer a more relaxed routine, like cuddling on the couch or lounging in the backyard, I’ll ensure they feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to ensure your pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

House Sitting • Jul 14, 2026

Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Rocco. I can not thank her enough for her flexibility and come to our house for an overnight sit so last minute. This was my first time leaving our dog in someone else’s care and she made me feel a sigh of relief. Sydney followed instructions, updated me with pictures, and had amazing communication. I will 100% be using her again and would recommend her to anyone.

Sydney was wonderful. Our dogs were happy and loved while we were away. She sent photos and updates. She's attentive to their needs and schedule and the house looked perfect when we returned. I'll definitely be calling her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Sydney! She was extremely communicative with frequent updates and photos, met our dogs beforehand, and checked in prior to the stay. Our dogs were so well cared for, and we came home to an incredibly clean house. Highly recommend!

Schedule

As a dedicated pet sitter, I prioritize flexibility to ensure your pets receive the best care possible while incorporating your preferences into my daily routine. However, I am not a remote worker, so my visits will be scheduled around and throughout the workday. When house sitting, I typically focus on one client at a time and am happy to stay overnight if preferred. I enjoy staying active through outside walks and runs or guided workouts and would love to include your pets in my routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enrichment.

For House Sitting: In addition to the usual breakdown of daily routines, diet, and house rules, I appreciate details on feeding schedules, activity preferences, specific fears or anxieties, and a general timetable of when things typically happen at home. This helps me keep your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. For Drop-Ins & Dog Walking: Please let me know if your dog has any phobias or specific triggers to watch for, especially when we’re out on walks. Understanding how your dog reacts to other animals, people, or certain environments allows me to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
