Pet care experience

Cats and dogs are family too!

Hello! My name is Sydney. Coming from a family that always had a pet around, I have always been a lover of animals. I'm a strong believer that your pet is a member of your family, and I treat them as such. Growing up with pets and having previous experience with pet sitting, I can provide quality time and care for your pet(s), as well as drop-in visits. I currently work full-time, but can offer drop-in and dog walking in the evenings during the week; but I’m available anytime during the weekends. I’m also available for house sitting, depending on your needs! I’m not currently offering boarding for pets though I hope to in the future. With that, I look forward to meeting you, and your furry friend(s)! Sydney

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I typically ask for written out or typed care instructions so I’m completely aware of the pet’s care for drop-in visits. Drop-in visits and dog walking are the only services I offer currently.

Sydney was exactly what we needed for our first time SnowBird winter escape. She was punctual despite horrible weather & a challenging driveway. She was resourceful when there were “issues”. Her communication with us was extraordinary. She is already invited back!

Sydney was excellent. She watched my cat, this was the first time I was away from her. Sydney kept me updated. She also dropped by when it was below zero and snowing. Highly recommend!

Sydney was great with my boys—even my shy guy came out! Everything was great, and I really appreciated having a reliable sitter over the holiday weekend.

Sydney did a great job of caring for Grace. She took care of her needs well and was responsible, came at the requested times and gave Grace the TLC that she craves. She was pleasant and communicated well to give Grace exceptional care. I am happy with the services provided.

Sydney was excellent with my little chicken-cat. He’s usually so shy with strangers, but he welcomed the attention from her. I was also incredibly grateful for the updates, photos, and videos. Having her checking on my boy really helped with my anxiety in having to leave town for a bit.

Schedule

I currently work full-time, but I can offer care during the week in the evenings after 5:30 (my schedule should be changing soon, though!) For weekends, I’m available anytime!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

I ask owners to let me know if their pets have any special needs or requests. As mentioned earlier, I prefer to have care instructions written or typed out just so I’m aware :)
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.
