Pet care experience
Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever cared about was the husbandry of animals. I was always the go-to person in my family that you could count on to help watch, feed, walk, play with your animal. I've worked at the APA in Missouri. It's a pet adoption center where I routinely cleaned out cats' and dogs' cages, gave them new food and water, and restrained them when given vaccination or blood draws. I also had an internship at Cornell University where I would be involved and monitor the enrichment activities in canines. This included running around the playpen, observing them play with one another, sticks, toys, and etc. I also had to scoop up all 160 of their poop. I attended a Veterinary assistant technical program in high school. There, I learned how to groom and feed animals ranging from canines, felines, reptiles, rabbits, and rodents. I recently just received my Bachelor's in Animal Science and am now going for my Master's in Biology in hopes to become a zoologist or something relative towards that.
Reviews
Everything went smoothly and my dog was well taken care of for the 4 days Sydney had him. I'd highly recommend using Sydney!
Sydney was very professional and communicative and seems like a natural with animals.
I am so grateful to Sydney for looking after my dog Johnny at short notice. He stayed overnight with Sydney - she was great at responding to messages and sending me pictures and updates. Thank you Sydney!
Sydney took good care of my pup and I would definitely recommend her.

I currently have one dog. His name is Kofi. On the three days that I have to work, I take him to daycare. That way he's not at home alone for 12 hours and he can get majority of his energy out. I will still take care of a client's pet like they are my own by means of going out and socializing. I will also spoil them with treats (if that's okay with the client), and etc.
Information Sydney S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has behavioral or triggering issues. As stated before, I do have a dog of my own, so I will need to know if a client's pet play nice with my own.
A typical day
I am relatively still new to Arizona, so I don't know where different dog parks or dog-friendly areas are located but I will find out. I have made some friends here who do have dogs, so I can definitely ask them for that piece of information. Activities that I will look forward to doing will be walking on trails and going to parks to socialize, laying in the sun, walking around the lake, or if they're antisocial, I'll be more than happy to stay inside and lounge around the house all day, cuddling and binge-watching movies and tv shows, playing hide and seek, tug-o-war, and to top it off, treating ourselves to Starbucks or Smoothie kings and getting pup cups.
