I love any animal under the sun!

Hi! My name's Sydney, and I love animals. I miss my dog Bauer and am looking for any opportunity to give a walk or a cuddle! I am a recent Duke graduate and now work and live in NYC. I work in a hybrid setting, so I can be flexible for your pet!

Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Xena and Luna while I was away in Thailand for 19 days. Being gone for almost three weeks, I really wanted someone I could trust not only with my pets but also with my home, and Sydney gave me such peace of mind the entire time. She took amazing care of Xena and Luna, kept me updated while I was away, and I never had to worry about how they were doing. It was obvious when I got home that they had been happy, comfortable, and very well cared for — which means everything to me. Sydney is kind, dependable, trustworthy, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful to her for taking such good care of my little family while I was halfway around the world. I would absolutely have her stay with Xena and Luna again and recommend her without hesitation! 🐶🐱❤️

Sydney is amazing!! After our original plans fell through, we almost canceled our trip. She was extremely sweet and accommodating and super dependable and helpful. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. I highly recommend her. Our pets definitely adored her and our dog who is normally skittish and nervous around new people warmed up to her instantly. We look forward to seeing her again. Thank you so much Sydney.

Sydney helped out with three dogs with very different personalities. She did a wonderful job of giving them love and took great care of them over a long weekend. Would recommend and will definitely use Sydney in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I can't take care of pets in my apartment, because a roommate has an allergy. But would easily take them out, for walks, and play and cuddle with them.

A typical day

I love to walk on Duke's east campus trail, WaDuke Trail, Duke Gardens, or the Tobacco Road Trail. Anywhere with shade and trees for the puppies during the hot summers!

Let me know if your dog is shy or playful. If they would want to be around other dogs or alone, and if they have any special accommodations ( medicines, etc).
