Pet care experience

Trusted & loving dog care

I have had dogs and pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I am especially comfortable with senior dogs, as my own dog is 17 years old, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra care older dogs may need. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, sticking to routines, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality.

Sydney is absolutely fantastic! Before heading off to college, she took amazing care of my dog and cats, including one with diabetes, and she handled everything with so much kindness and confidence. She was gentle and attentive when giving medication, and it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My pets adore her and get so excited whenever she stops by. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and all-around wonderful sitter on Rover, Sydney is the one!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. My classes are limited to Tuesdays from 11 AM–12 PM and 4 PM–5 PM, and Thursdays from 11 AM–12 PM, which leaves me available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care most days. I am able to work pet care easily into my daily routine and enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or providing extra attention for senior pets and pets with specific needs.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and each pet’s individual needs to make sure they are happy and secure while you are away. I am especially patient with senior pets and understand the extra care and attentiveness they may require. I also believe in keeping pet owners updated with communication and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

A typical day

A typical day caring for pets includes making sure they stay on their normal routine and feel comfortable while their owners are away. For dogs, that usually means morning potty breaks or walks, feeding, playtime, lots of attention, and regular bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also enjoy spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing together. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime if they enjoy it, and plenty of attention at their comfort level. I also monitor pets closely to make sure they are acting normally, comfortable, and happy. I love creating a calm and caring environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
