Professional Dog Cuddler

Hi everyone! I wanted to get started on Rover because I have experience watching friends, family, and neighbors dogs and I would love to meet some more furry friends! My first job was working at a vets office walking the dogs in the back and since then I have been walking dogs and dog-sitting around my neighborhood. I also grew up with my amazing dog Maddie, so I understand your pets are more then animals they are truly family. I love creating a calm, loving and happy environment for your babies. I can't wait to meet them!

Safety, trust & environment

I always want to provide a safe and loving environment. I will handle your fur baby with care, love, and intention. I require that I meet your dog before I take care of them. The most important thing is that there is trust between me and your dog.

House Sitting • Aug 25, 2026

Took a chance on Sydney as she's new to Rover, with no reviews, and she did not disappoint. She communicated the whole time, sent pics, and took our girl for lots of walks. We had her housesit. This is the first time we've ever had someone stay when we're not home and she was obviously very respectful of our space. It looked like no one was even here when we got home, although I know she was. My dog was calm and happy, no signs of anxiety whatsoever. I very highly recommend Sydney and we will definitely use her again.

Sydney has personally dog sat my Cobie. She not only updated us with pictures but went out of her way to care for Cobie by bringing energy and enthusiasm which our dog needed to feel comforted while we were gone.
