Pet care experience

Responsible Dog Lover and Owner

I have several years of experience in dog sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I have a yellow lab of my own, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and pets. I have had several pet service jobs in and around the towns I’ve lived in, and I’d be more than happy to provide references. I am both a responsible pet owner and a respectable pet lover. I have experience caring for dogs that require medication and attention, and I understand how important it is for you to feel comfortable about the person you are trusting with your pet. I have watched and taken care of dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a very large Great Dane and Mastiff. I am very confident in my skills, and I hope to be given the opportunity to show you them as well.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner myself, the comfortability of your pet will be my highest priority. Though I am unable to care for your animals in my home, I will always be respectful of your space and ensure your animal’s safety and security at all times while in my care.

Sydney was wonderful with Harmony! When Harmony was not eating well, Sydney sat with her until she cleaned her bowl. As evidenced by the toys strewn about, Sydney also played quite a bit with Harmony! I hope to have her back next time I go out of town!

Sydney took amazing care of our pups and cats and our home! We won’t hesitate to hire her again for our next trip.

Schedule

I am a full-time student, but my schedule is fairly open. I enjoy spending my time outside because my part-time job is inside, so I'd love to get out and walk dogs as often as possible! Additionally, my apartment does not allow for animals, so I’d love to be able to spend more time with furry friends!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sydney can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your animal is not well-socialized with other people. If you are looking for a dog enrichment/exercise activity, I’d prefer to adhere to the animal’s social comfortability level.
