Pet care experience

Trustworthy Pet & House Sitter

Hi, my name is Sydney. I have a huge love for all animals, especially my little nugget Peanut. He is a 9 year old Black Mouth Cur with a huge personality. I have LOTS of experience with dogs, cats, and three years of paid experience with horses. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal lover, who has been caring for animals since I was three . Animals are my life's passion; I treat all animals as if they are my own. Regardless if you need help for a day, a week, or more, I'm more than happy to talk through your pet care situation. I have ample experience with taking care of horses, dogs, and cats, but I am open to learning how to care for your pets, big or small! Remember, when they are happy, you are happy! **My rates are adjustable based on your situation, just ask me!** I have had a dog my entire life. I've had just about every possible pet related emergency at least twice. Truth is, pets are unpredictable but I believe my experience helps me to be able to calmly react to any situation at hand. No matter how big or how small your pet is, I will treat every pet the same, with the unending passion I have for animals. Animals bring me joy and I would never do anything to get in the way of that. Why I love dog sitting Plain and simple, I love animals, cats, dogs, bunnies, horses, goats, you name it, I love it and can probably say I've taken care of it before. I'm not a huge fan of reptiles, but I'd love to hear about your needs regarding your reptilian friend. My experience administering medication My dogs have been sick, many a time before. I can administer oral medication as often as needed. When it comes to injections, the vet is the right person for that.

Safety, trust & environment

It goes without saying that I treat your home and your pets as if they are my own. I am driven by a high level of integrity and will ALWAYS do the right thing. Trust is also incredibly important to me and keeping yours is paramount. Trusting me with your fur babies is not something I take lightly. I promise to always be reliable, responsible and trustworthy.

After meeting Sydney we were confident she would take good care of our pets. Sydney stayed in my home for 3 weeks to care for my two dogs. I didn't ask for daily updates but she did send an occasional picture with an update. We will definitely be using Sydney again.

I would recommend Sydney! She was easy to communicate with about the daily care of my dog. He warmed up to her right away which isn't always the case. She also taught my 7 yr old dog how to sit just for fun! He loves it. I felt comfortable comfortable with her in my home as well. Thank you Sydney

Sydney was fantastic!!! I would highly recommend her to sit with your dog. She was very patient with Sandy and her temperament. I am very thankful that she was able to come to our home and take care of dogs.

Schedule

I am an independent contractor, which makes for a very flexible schedule. In emergencies don't hesitate to reach out or if you're stuck at work and your babies need their dinner and potty break, I most likely will be able to accommodate your needs. Never hesitate to reach out!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Sydney can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Most importantly, I need to have contact information. I will need at least two contact phone numbers for you and one for the pet's primary vet with the address for the clinic. I also require contact information for your chosen 24 hour emergency vet that you use. Please also let me know what their eating schedule is like and how much do they get at each meal. How often do you normally have to let them out to do business? Can they handle being at home alone while I'm out on an errand? What are their favorite things to do? Do you know if they get separation anxiety and if so, do you have any tricks to make them feel better? I have no breed restrictions. The breeds that are labeled as "aggressive" are not always as they are labeled. You may have the sweetest Pitbull mix, I'd be more than happy to sit for you. My only rule is that the dog cannot actually be aggressive. I like to play with the dogs I take care of, I've been bit before. I understand accidents happen, but knowing before hand, if "playing" can get rough, I do need to know that.
