Caring, honest, flexible, active

Pet care experience

My family has always owned dogs and I adopted my first dog in 2020, Freyja. I have been pet sitting for neighbors since I was young and I continued to do so for friends and acquaintances when I moved away for college. I have walked and cared for dogs with different energy levels and behavioral characteristics. I have been working with my own dog on her nervousness on walks and around busy areas. I’d love to hear more about your pet and their unique needs!

Sydney did a couple of overnight stays in our home and she was incredibly dependable and thorough. Communication is easy and straightforward, and I felt very at ease being gone. I highly recommend her services.

Bella loved having Sydney stay with her. We appreciated Sydney's communication with us and seeing the pictures she sent us. We look forward to having Sydney come again to stay with Bella soon.

Sydney took great care of our Border Collie, Mari. She was very accommodating to Mari’s needs and went the extra mile to make sure she knew exactly how to make her as comfortable as possible taking care of her at our house. Sydney was also very good at letting us know how our dog was doing while we were away. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, and I have my own dog who gets along with others but a meeting on neutral ground would be necessary if they were to stay at my house. I can provide care at your house instead and crate your pet (if they are crate trained) when I’m not at the house. I can take them on walks around town or at the Putah Creek Reserve or do drop ins throughout the day. I respect your privacy, your pet, and your home.

Information Sydney S. would like to know about your pet

Like I said above, I understand that all dogs with have different needs or triggers on walks. Let me know about your dog and we can work together to make sure I can care for your pet in a safe and engaged way so that you are ensured of your pet’s care.

A typical day

I know that dogs need mental stimulation and physical activity. I can provide both during drop in care and walks. With my dog, we play games (like hide and seek with a treat) in the house to get her mind stimulated or fetch at the park near my house. I love walking dogs at Putah Creek or near the green belt where there are a lot of new, interesting smells different from the more developed housing areas.

I’m a grad student at UC Davis so I have a flexible schedule where I am sometimes in the office and sometimes remote. This allows me to have some flexibility with booking walks and other pet care services. If you’re looking for cat care, I’m also open to meeting your feline friend!
