Pet care experience

Work-From-Home Loving Pet Sitter!

If you’re looking for an experienced & loving pet sitter who will actually be there with your animals - including staying the night - you’re in the right place! Since I work from home, I can be with your animals almost 24/7. I can also share daily photos and updates with you while you are away if you'd like. I’ve had many pets since I was 2 so I have quite a lot of experience with cats and dogs specifically. I love to hike with dogs or Netflix and hang out with cats. I’m open to other types of unusual animals as well. I look forward to watching your fur babies as if they were my own :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by playing with them, snuggling them, comforting them if they’re upset, putting my hand on their chest or head, leaving them alone if they want space, and overall just feeling out their moods. I usually gauge a pets personality and desires by simply watching them and seeing how they react to me. I like to be very loving and present with animals and they can definitely tell the difference.

Sydney took such great care of our two golden retrievers while we went out of town for 6 days. We received daily check-ins and pictures of the boys. We returned to two very happy doggies!

Sydney is phenomenal! It was our first time leaving our dog and cat with a non family member so we were a bit nervous. Meeting with Sydney put our minds at ease and while she stayed at our place, she sent us daily updates and photos. Our furbabies absolutely loved her! Highly recommend her!

Sydney stayed with my dog for 5 days and took great care of her. Sydney reached out to let me know that my dog was experiencing separation anxiety and asked for any suggestions on helping her, which I appreciated. We would book with Sydney again.
