Information Sydney S. would like to know about your pet

As the pet owner you are the greatest resource for making your pet the most comfortable while you're away. I am all ears when it comes to the need of your pet, even the most minor details. Is your pet use to going to sleep with your scent near? I'd be more than willing to accept an article of your clothing to soothe any anxiety they may have!

A typical day

Does your dog have all the energy or would they rather be a couch potato? Perfect! I love accommodating to each individual pet's needs. We can go for nice long hot girl walks (my favorite!), take a visit to the dog park, go for a much needed pup cup, treat ourselves to retail therapy, take a cruise around town, or even enjoy a nice long movie marathon together from the comfort of home!

Pet care experience

Hey I'm Syd! I've always had a big heart for animals! I think my family started taking notice when I kept my walmart goldfish alive for 10 years! I recently had to put my childhood cat down and am looking to love on pets to fill the void. My friend began pet sitting on the rover app and when she moved away I took over one of her clients. (Who you will probably notice in most my pics!) We love going on walks, going for pup cup runs, going to grooming appointments together, and even going to the store once and awhile together to pick out new toys. I can quite confidently say I see him as a friend and love taking him to as many event as possible! My friends always ask if he can come to one of our favorite events, tailgating!

Sydney was communicative, attentive, and wonderful to book for our dog care. We have an 80lb rescue puppy who has a lot of character and she was able to handle him perfectly. Our 25lb princess, who can be selective, was in love with Sydney! They were both happy and exhausted after their walk with her. Will be rebooking!!!

Sydney did a great job taking care of Harry for us! She was attentive to my directions, great with communicating and sending pictures and it was evident Harry was well loved. Thank you for all you did!

Sydney has taken care of my animals for many years even the ones that have been known to be troublemakers she is so kind and attentive towards them and she's very responsive and I never have to worry about anything while I'm away. She is so responsible and trustworthy and so very kind to the ones I love!
