Dog Lover

I’m 23 and have dogs since I was 8! I grew up with a Golden Doodle, German Shepherd, and a Maltipoo. I have experience with big and small dogs and love them all. I’ve walked them my whole life and take care of them when my parents are away. My main priority is showering them with love! When we board them, I always worry they aren’t getting enough love and affection. But you can be sure I will show up with as much enthusiasm and affection for your dog as I do mine! I don’t mind if they sleep in the same bed as me, cuddles are even preferred :) I am a confident dog walker and have you can trust they will be safe with me. My doggies are strong and I know how to handle big dogs.

Sydney was great! She shared lots of pictures of Kiwi and he seemed like he was in a great mood when we picked him up! Thanks again Syndey :)

Sydney was awesome with our pup Tom. She sent pics, kept us updated and great on communication. We definitely will use her again.

Sydney was great! She took really good care of my 19 mo German shepherd pup (has lots of energy). Played with her and took her on plenty of walks - my dog probably thought she was in heaven! Definitely will be booking with her again!

I trust Sydney to take care of any of my pets! When she comes over, all three of my puppies get so excited to see her. They jump and kiss her, sometimes they get crazy but it doesn’t scare her. She just shows the same excitement back. I know they will be taken care of, she’s a great walker, and an even better dog lover!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with two other girls. We live on a third floor walk up and my room has space to crate your pet if needed. We have a spacious living room as well. There is plenty of grass in front of my apartment for potty breaks and a couple blocks away from a park too.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and if your dog has a lot of energy I would be happy to go on a few! We can cuddle on the couch and watch tv, play at Thompkins Square Park, or if they prefer I can give them their space. I’m pretty good at understanding what they want and communicating with dogs, so I can adjust our day to them!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I have experience with blind dogs, high energy dogs, and older dogs so you can be sure they are in good hands. I love them all!
