Pet care experience

WFH Pet Lover w/ Fenced Yard 💕

I grew up with pets my entire life. I have experience with fostering animals, including elderly and special needs pets! I’ve volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the last 10 years in the cities I have lived. I also have experience with handling dogs with separation anxiety. I work full-time from home. My work is very flexible so I have ample time to take care of my pets and the ones I watch.

Sydney was an excellent cat sitter and Crackers loved her. She normally doesn’t play with cat sitters or come to greet them at the door. She hides from them. Not from Sydney! She took such great care of my spoiled geriatric sassy girl. She also swept the floor by the litter boxes before she left, so I came home to a clean house. I will definitely book with her again!

We had an excellent experience with Sydney! She took wonderful care of our pet and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We received regular photo updates along with timely messages, which made it easy to see that our pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was outstanding, and it was clear Sydney genuinely cared about our pet’s well-being. We truly appreciate her professionalism, reliability, and kindness. I would highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person!

Sydney is always the best. Our dog gets along SO well with hers, and always has a great time. He always comes home happy and tired. And Sydney sends a ton of photos and videos which we love and appreciate so much.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pet like my own! I have a secured fenced-in yard for all the dogs that stay with me. I always keep an eye out on them while they are out there. I am always careful when entering and leaving a client's home. No escaping on my watch.

Pets

A typical day

For those dogs who love to be active, my dog Honey loves to play with others in our backyard. She is always ready to be chased around the yard or wrestle in the front room. I also live near Scioto Audubon park where we can walk on the trails there. For those more chill dogs, I have plenty of space for them to chill out both inside and out. Potty breaks are whenever needed.
