Pet care experience

I have a huge love for animals!

I grew up in a household full of animals, caring for a husky, a German shepherd, three cats, two bunnies, and a hamster. This gave me hands-on experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. I've also dog-sat numerous times, including for pets needing medication, which I have administered with care and precision. My background ensures I'm comfortable with diverse needs, from playful puppies to senior pets. I bring a nurturing approach, a deep understanding of animals, and a commitment to treating every pet like they're part of the family!

Sydney took in our pug on pretty short notice and we are forever thankful that she did! Hopefully he wasn’t too difficult for her (and her family), but he did come home happy and healthy. Thank you Sydney!

Sydney was amazing with my kitty Ivy Dior ! I needed a last minute babysitter as my first one bailed on me and I needed someone to watch my pumpkin as I went out of town and at the last minute Sydney came through and saved the day ! She kept me up to date with how she was doing and stuck to my instructions I had let her know. What made me decide to stick with her was I called her and I could visually see and hear how eager she was to sit Ivy. I am def pleases 10/10 ?

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, ensuring their pet’s routine, diet, and exercise needs are met. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I provide companionship, regular walks or playtime, feeding, and medication administration if needed. I keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space, ensuring their pet is happy and well cared for in familiar surroundings.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active with engaging activities tailored to their needs and energy levels. For dogs, I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood/playing in the house/outside. Fetch, and games of tug-of-war are always a hit, too. For cats, I provide interactive play with toys and plenty of cuddles. I aim to ensure every pet feels entertained and loved during their time with me.

Here are the key things I like to know about pets ahead of time: Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, walk times, play preferences, and bedtime habits. Behavior: Personality traits, likes/dislikes, and how they interact with other animals or people. Health Needs: Any medications, allergies, or medical conditions to monitor. Special Requirements: Dietary restrictions, grooming needs, or training cues. Emergency Contacts: Your vet’s information and any specific instructions in case of emergencies. Having this information helps me provide the best possible care and ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.
