Pet care experience
COVID Disclaimer: I am fully vaccinated and a big fan of CDC Guidelines, so I can ensure all these services will be completed safely! **Please note: I work full time Monday-Friday 9-5, so any visits during the week would need to be before or after these hours and during lunch time. I've been watching pets for friends, family, and colleagues for over 10 years now . Whatever your pet’s personality, I’ll make sure they are well-loved and paid attention to. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, including German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, aging and elderly dogs, and am comfortable with all sizes and personalities. I have experience with multiple pet households, with up to 5 dogs each at a time. I am also used to administering many different methods of medication, if needed. I consistently do long overnight stays with a few regular households. I also am experienced with cat sitting, as I own two myself and am a self-proclaimed cat whisperer. I am extremely thorough and detail-oriented, so I promise that no stone will be left unturned when it comes to taking care of your pet's health and happiness! This means unlimited photos (if you prefer), detailed daily status updates, and inside jokes with your pet (only sort of kidding). But seriously, I am extremely fastidious and hope, with that being said, that there are no typos in this introduction. Housesitting disclaimer: please, no roommates or smoking households. Thank you!
Reviews
Fantastic as always! :) Sydney took great care of our cat + plants when we were gone for a week. Reliable, great communicator, and cute pictures!
Sydney is the best! Can't recommend her enough. Great with our cat and overall extremely attentive, flexible, and kindhearted. Thanks for all your help!
Always very responsive and thorough. I always feel comfortable leaving my pets in Sydney’s hands.
Sydney was super flexible and responsive, as well as sweet with my dog Wilmer. They went on nice walks, and I got plenty of pictures along the way. :-)

Safety, trust & environment
I can ensure your pet will have daily exercise, whether that's walks, playing fetch, or other fun activities, or if they’re older, a relaxed and chill hang. Whatever is most preferred!
Information Sydney S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know the pets personality- are they typically more active, or tend to be shy and low-key? What are your pet’s favorite activities? Do they get along with others? I don’t have any breed preferences, but love large dogs.
A typical day
I enjoy walking along the Ellerbe Creek Trail, playing fetch in parks around the neighborhood, and going on hikes. If your dog is more low-key, I also enjoy just sitting and hanging out. I happy to play tug-of-war just as much as sitting and enjoying the sunshine.

Availability
Set schedules are great but mixing it up with short-term visits are fun, too. I am more than happy to work out what is best for you and your pet.
