Pet care experience

I love animals. I have professionally taken care of dogs and cats for 3 years now. However, I also grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, and more! Neighbors, friends, family, and clients have relied on and trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and administer medications for their animals throughout the years. Personally, my partner and I have Nala and Waffles, our cats, who are friendly with other animals. We welcome animals into our home and have no issue staying at another residences if needed. My partner works a 8-6 while I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse. I rotate nights and days. With that being said, there’s a pretty good chance there will always be someone in the home or they will be alone for ~10 hours.

Sydney was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover as I have always been a little nervous having a stranger dog & house sit, but Sydney made this a breeze! I could not say thank you enough for her care and attention watching my baby girl, Semira. I will 100% utilize Rover again and if Sydney is available she is who I would book every time!! She is a true professional who will take quality care of your furry friend as well as your home if you require an in house sitter. Thank you so much Sydney. Semira will miss your cuddles and had a wonderful time with you.

Best and most flexible cat sitter we have ever had! She also takes the cutest pictures of our fur babies! Not only does she feed them but plays with them!

Your animals become my family as soon as I step through your door or they step through ours. They will be cared for with love, compassion, and a whole lot of excitement. Four legged friends bring happiness and joy to all who meet them. I look forward to working with you and meeting your furry friends! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Information Sydney R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs so I can properly prepare a fun visit for the animal and myself! If any medications must be administered please let me know. I feel more than comfortable administering any medicine.

A typical day

Depending on what the animal needs, I will feed then walk the dog after waking up. For cats I like to check food and litter box(es) after waking up. If your animals is a cuddle bug then we would be getting some cuddle time in for sure. Dogs I like to walk every 4-5 hours or as needed. Depending on the length of stay, the litter box would be cleaned 1-3 times for our cat friends. I am a big photographer and will share our adventures with you along the way!

When we are not working, we are typically active. My partner likes to run while I enjoying bike riding and climbing. We don’t mind to bare the cold either, we have enough layers for that! We would love for your furry friend(s) to join us on our adventures!
