Sydney is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. She’s knowledgeable on time always cheerful and my dog Ciela loves her. She’s works a little with my dog while walking and after 4 walks I saw a big difference with Ciela’s behavior. Ciela no longer jumps up and now easily walks on leash. I highly recommend Sydney. Thank you Sydney for being such a great person. We’ll both miss you. J and Ciela

Sydney was amazing. She was flexible while we were traveling, communicative, and had great attention to detail. We would hire her back in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Sydney!

Sydney is the best! She listened to all of my instructions and was prompt to all of my bookings. My neighbors even met her and praised her which means a lot to hear from people I trust. Thanks, Sydney!

I am as flexible with my animal care and rover services as I can be. I do work during the week but often I am able to fit services in before and after my shifts. The sooner you get in touch with me the more likely I am available!
