Safety, trust & environment

I am a very responsible person. Ensuring your home and pets safety would be my top priority. Making me aware of any safety precautions you would like me to take will help me best work with you!

Information Sydney R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any specific care instructions or needs. I’m happy to try to accommodate what is best for your dog. Additionally, let me know how your dog is around people and other dogs so I can keep them comfortable.

A typical day

I love to go for walks, runs, or hikes with dogs. For those with a fenced backyard I enjoy throwing a ball or frisbee. I’m also happy to spend time with older dogs that want a slower day.

Pet care experience

Hey all!! Thanks for coming to my page. My goal as a pet sitter is to give you peace of mind that your dog is happy and healthy while you are gone. A bit about me: I’m an environmental engineer that is newer to the area. I was born and raised in the Midwest. I grew up with a Pomeranian named Bella. My family also frequently fostered pets for a local rescue so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and sizes. In my free time I love to go on hikes, try new crafts, and bake.

Sydney took fantastic care of our puppy Salem while we were out of town! We came home to a spotless house and a happy dog, and are tremendously grateful! We would absolutely have Sydney back anytime.

Sydney, was so respectful and communicative. We got great updates and had amazing peace of mind while we were away. Koopa got some great walks in and some great cuddles! Thank you!

Sydney has been so amazing taking care of my pets over the years. She is always on time, organized, and my pups were always so happy to see her! We were so sad when she moved away and cannot emphasize enough how she will be missed as a petsitter and person. I would definitely recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trusted, kind hearted petsitter!

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.
