Home is where the dog is💛

Hi! I’m Sydney, I’ve been dogsitting on and off since 2018 and have 3 family dogs back home in Ohio. I recently moved to CT and I’m looking to dog sit because I miss my dogs so much! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, my dogs include a yorkie, chihuahua mix, and doberman lab mix! All of our dogs are rescues so I grew up handling many behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, leash reactivity, resource guarding, & general anxiety in dogs. All of the dog training I’ve done has been through positive reinforcement. I will prioritize following your instructions and attempt to recreate your dogs routine as if you were home! A little more about me- I’m an environmental engineer and I love being active and creative in my free time! I love all animals, in addition to dogs I have a bearded dragon, a horse, and an axolotl! I volunteer at an equestrian center for kids with disabilities every weekend and love every second of it! I enjoy hiking and running so if you have an active dog I am happy to go on long walks or runs if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to spend time with a couch potato pup:)

We really hit the jackpot with Sydney! She is so kind and patient with my dog. She really went above and beyond in caring for him - I am so impressed! Sydney checked in to sent updates and asked questions when necessary. We will definitely use Sydney again in the future!

Sydney was so good to my dog Marley. She sent pictures of her daily and took tremendous care of her. I would use Sydney again in a heartbeat.

Let me know if your dog has any needs or behavioral issues I need to prepare for. I have experience with reactivity, guarding, and anxiety in dogs. I do not have any breed preferences.
