Safety, trust & environment

When I visit your homeo, my focus is on providing seamless and stress-free care for your pets. I understand that your home is their sanctuary, so I strive to maintain their routine and minimize any disruptions. My visits include: * Feeding & Watering: Following your instructions precisely, ensuring fresh food and water are always available. * Exercise & Playtime: Whether it's a brisk walk, a playful game of fetch, or simply some quality cuddle time, I make sure your pet gets the physical and mental stimulation they need. * Litter Box/Cleanup: For cats, I meticulously clean the litter box and dispose of waste properly. For dogs and other animals, I clean up any accidents promptly and thoroughly. * Medication Administration: I'm comfortable administering medications (pills, liquids, injections) as needed. * Mail & Plant Care: I can also bring in the mail, water plants, and perform other small household tasks related to your pet's care. I love to do small house cleans. * Lots of Love ! Of course, I shower your pets with affection and attention, making sure they feel loved and secure while you're away.

A typical day

Dogs: * Walks, hikes, fetch, Frisbee, playdates – we'll do it all ! Plus puzzle toys, cuddles, and dog park visits (if you're okay with it). Swimming's a bonus! Expect lots of fun and pics ! * Walkies, playtime, and happy pups ! I tailor activities to their energy level, from chill strolls to zoomies. Mental stimulation is key, so puzzle toys and training games are on the menu too. Cats: * Laser pointer fun, wand toy wizardry, chin scratches, and window-watching ! Catnip's on hand, and grooming's no problem. Lots of play and purrs guaranteed ! * Your cat will be pampered ! Interactive play, cozy naps, and gentle companionship. I respect their boundaries, whether they're cuddly or independent. Other Pets: * Fresh veggies, enrichment, and attention for your little critters ! I love chatting with talkative birds too. * Bird baths, gentle reptile rubs, and specialized care for your exotic pets. I follow your instructions and create a stimulating environment. General: * Pics and videos of your pet's adventures ! Treats (with your permission), and quiet time cuddles. I'm flexible and cater to their needs.

Pet care experience

My pet care experience isn't just a job I , it's a passion ! I've spent years caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, from volunteering at local shelters to helping friends and family with their furry companions. I'm confident handling everything from basic care (feeding, walks, playtime) to more specialized needs. What sets me apart? I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement training, so I can help reinforce good behavior in puppies and dogs. I'm also experienced in senior pet care, understanding the importance of gentle exercise, medication administration, and extra TLC. I'm reliable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Your pet will be in loving and capable hands !

Sydney did a FABULOUS job, I cannot recommend her enough. She stayed multiple days and took great care of my very stubborn and needy baby. Will be booking again!

Sydney did an incredible job caring for my cat. She took notes and made sure all my instructions were followed and took so many pictures of my baby. She’s also CPR trained which eased some of my concerns with leaving behind an asthmatic cat. Sydney will be my baby Mochi’s caretaker's whenever I’m out of town in the future!
