I keep a paper planner with a pencil so I can make sure routines and appointments are kept (or changed) as directed/needed. Feel free to let me know what your pet's regular routine is so I can follow that as closely as possible.

Information Sydney S. would like to know about your pet
Honestly, I want to know what you think is most important about your dog. Here are a few of the questions that run through my mind when I am pet sitting. When you feed/water your dog and how much? Is it spayed/neutered? Is it up to date on shots? Are there any medical conditions that I need to be aware of? Is it on medications? If so, what kind, how much, and when should I administer it? Where is your dog's vet located? Does it have any idiosyncrasies that I should know? (for instance, my little Harley didn't like feet. He loved people, but did not want a foot near his body or he would go ballistic and try to bite you. Poor thing, I can only imagine what happened to him before I got him.) Are there any vet appointments that I should attend with your dog? What is your dog's normal routine for day and night? Are there places the dog is not allowed to go? Where should I place your pup's poo? Can we go on a walk or to the dog park? This list is just some examples! I love all dogs. However, larger dogs that are aggressive are just not up my alley. For instance, if your dog is meant to be a guard dog versus a family pet/part of the family, I might not be the sitter for you.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Since you are gone, it is my job to be there! If I have errands to run, I will make sure to walk your dog in between those times. In the past, I have rarely left a house when dog sitting unless the dog is coming with me to the park or I have a quick trip to church or the store. Extra house-sitting services Definitely. Small things like bringing in the newspaper/mail are easily included in the price of pet sitting. If you would like me to do the laundry, go grocery shopping and prep meals for your return, or help with other tasks that would help you while you are away, just let me know. I love helping, and we can discuss tasks/price further.

Pet care experience
Your dog is like your child. When you are away, I want to assist you in making him/her feel as comfortable as possible (not to mention easing your mind as well). I can keep your set routines as well as provide personal attention to your fur baby! Walking, pottying, playing, and even giving your pet its medication are all included, not to mention following your regular feeding schedule. I am available for short or long term stays. If your pet has a vet appointment, I am more than happy to take him/her and report everything back to you. Due to previous experience, I will only take animals that have been spayed/neutered unless of course they are too young for the procedure. About this sitter: Your dog is like your child. When you are away, I want to assist you in making him/her feel as comfortable as possible (not to mention easing your mind as well). By coming to you, I can keep your set routines as well as provide personal attention to your fur baby! Walking, pottying, playing, and even giving your pet its medication can be done from the comfort of your home. I am available for short or long term stays. If your pet has a vet appointment, I am more than happy to take them and report everything back to you. Due to previous experience, I would prefer only animals that have been spayed/neutered unless of course they are too young for the procedure. Besides caring for my own pets, I have watched other people's pets in their home environment since I was in college. Some have needed medication given at specific times. Others have needed help walking down stairs to potty outside. One was epileptic and another had MRSA. Ms. Hunny even required regular vet visits. In that case, I report any and all information back to you and follow the vet's instructions. While I am not a vet tech, I am very sensitive to your pet's needs and will take extremely good care of your love while you are away. Why I love dog sitting When I was young, our family only had cats. The dogs in the neighborhood, no matter the size, would scare me on our family walks. One day, a neighbor that knew my grandmother rescued a little dog named Harley and couldn't find his owner. I went down the street to meet this lost pup and literally fell in love. Harley was a wonderfully smart and spunky Yorkie. At first he was as scared of me as I was of him. When we both realized it, we became friends instead! Once I had my own dog, I realized that other dogs were not really scary. I had just never taken the time to know them. Now I can see the personality in each dog, big or small. It's really amazing how I went from being so afraid of dogs that I would shake to loving dogs so much that I want to love on other people's pooches!! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication. Just let me know the details (what kind, how much, when, and any other special instructions), and I'll take care of it. I'll even keep a log for you.
Reviews

We had some hesitations about using Rover given some of the extra care our English Bulldog needs but we were blown away by Sydney. She took care of George like like he was her own dog. The daily text photos and updates helped ease any worries we had while traveling. Highly recommend!

Sydney is simply the best! She genuinely cares for my dog as if he were her own and always gives me complete peace of mind when I'm away. I know he's in loving, capable hands, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Sydney has great communication & sends updates throughout the day! She is the best

Sydney is awesome and gave T-Roy regular walks... it was like he was at the spa with constant attention. She is a pleasure to deal with and very responsive with regular updates on how T-Roy was doing with pics. Definitely 5 star!
