Safety, trust & environment

I am trustworthy taking care of animals. I always make time to play with my own cat even when I am tired. I take her outside on walks and in the car for rides. I have stayed overnight with multiple dogs and cats before and I try to keep them all on their usual routine (walks, feeding, play). I believe it’s important for all animals to have enrichment in their lives.

Information Sydney P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs ahead of time!! I want to make sure I can play with them or walk them in the way that you prefer.

A typical day

I love going to the park and walking local trails. I also enjoy walking around the neighborhood, bringing pets on car rides and hikes in the woods. Exercise is so important! And of course I will give them lots of love!

Sydney was wonderful! She took excellent care of my 3 (!) dogs and I’m grateful for her help. They were well taken care of and I would 💯 book Sydney again!

Sydney has taken great care of our dogs multiple times, and her most recent stay was no exception. Our gal Lil is genuinely excited when Sydney walks in the door, and we always come back to a happy girl and a super clean and cared for house. Lil is also dog reactive and can be tricky to walk, and Sydney is really patient and caring with her. Thanks so much, Sydney!

We are writing this review on behalf of our dog, Oakly. We were repeat clients, and our trust was violated, putting our dog’s health at serious risk. Despite a clear request from the beginning based on his health needs and repeated asks throughout the booking, our care instructions were not followed. Sydney reported 20-minute walks, yet footage from our security camera showed Oakly was repeatedly only taken outside for less than five minutes. The situation became dangerous when she went unresponsive and left Oakly without a bathroom break for nearly 16 hours, requiring urgent intervention from an elderly family member. We also had to scramble to find last-minute replacement care while we were overseas during Christmas break. Most alarming, Sydney insisted that a 16-hour gap was “okay” and stated that our dog “looked fine,” showing a complete lack of concern for his well-being. Sydney misrepresented the care provided, ignored repeated feedback, and put our dog’s health at risk.

Sydney is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our dog is a sweet dog but has some anxiety issues and is dog reactive on walks - Sydney handles her expertly, and there are never any issues (which is huge peace of mind for us!). Not to mention our dog LOVES seeing Sydney when she walks in the door and sleeps with her every night she stays here! I would highly recommend Sydney for dog walking and sitting for all types of dogs.
