Sydney was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to take care of our dog and our home and we were very pleased with his services. He provided consistent and helpful updates and pictures and we could tell our dog was having a really great time going on walks, playing, and hanging out. I would recommend Sydney to anyone without hesitation. We will be using him again for sure!

My schedule is flexible so while I have things to do, they can be done around your pet's needs. If we have booked time, your pet becomes the priority.

Safety, trust & environment

This really depends on the client. I would expect a detailed list of needs for your pet that I would adhere to. Expect to rest assured while they are with me :)

A typical day

Obviously no day is typical but after waking and going through the morning routine that the pet is most familiar with, we might stimulate them by taking a different walk or even hopping in the car to take a walk where they have never even been. Nothing like that end of day satisfied exhaustion of the exercise, seeing their excitement as they invariably know when they are within a mile of "home" and start doing the wiggly butt happy dance.

Sydney can host up to 1 pet per night
I don't have any breeds that I prefer per se. Besides briefly fostering a Great Dane when I was a kid, I've never cared for any massive animal and that would be welcome but still probably good to know ahead of time. Ditto medical needs that I would want to research.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
