Availability

I work during the week Monday through Friday. On Mondays I typically work from home, so I’d be able to do drop ins on Mondays, and on Fridays I work in the office for a half day, so if you go on a weekend getaway I could start earlier on Friday afternoon. I also am off on weekends, so I have full availability then. I can also do evening check-ins any day of the week.

Safety, trust & environment

When going into someone else’s home, I make sure to follow any rules that the family has in place for me. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I don’t mind spending extra time with their pet as I know sometimes animals can get lonely and miss their humans. I will be sure to make sure they are well fed, always have water, get lots of pets/snuggles, and I’ll be sure to send updates and photos. If there is anything wrong when checking on your pet, I will be sure to let you know immediately and will take your pet to a vet.

Information Sydney V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Please also let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your dog feel comfortable such as giving a treat, playing with their favorite toy, favorite spot to be pet, etc. I want to make sure your pet gets the best care possible and is as comfortable as can be!

A typical day

Some fun activities I will do (if your pet is okay with it) includes take them for walks if needed, play with them outside in the yard, play with them and their toys, and of course lots of pets and snuggles!

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Sydney, and I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter through Rover. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I currently care for 18 pets, including dogs, cats, chinchillas, a bearded dragon, and chickens. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care routines, and the importance of providing individualized attention to each pet’s unique needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications and have experience caring for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges or special health considerations. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra TLC, I’m committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. You can trust that I will treat your pet like one of my own—offering patience, affection, and reliability. I am also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and any special care requests to give you peace of mind. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry (or scaly or feathery) family members and ensure they are happy and comfortable while you’re away. Best regards, Sydney

Sydney was great! She showed up on time, took care of Ollie and sent us lots of pictures. I was able to be away from home without worrying. I highly recommend her.

I have always been able to rely on Sydney when it comes to our dog. My husband and I work long hours and sometimes end up needing to stay late, and Sydney has always been able to help us out. Our dog is crazy about her! She is reliable and is great at following the instructions we have for our dog. She's very responsible and respectful, we highly recommend her!

I'm so thankful to have found Sydney! She came out for a meet-and-greet and my dog faithful liked her right away. 🙂 Sydney listen to what it was I wanted for Faithful and asked any questions that came to mind for her. She jumped right in and interacting well with faithful. Sydney came out during the times that I had given her and even adjusting her schedule to come when it was not raining as to keep faithful dry because she knew this was a concern to me. 🙂 She stayed the entire 30 minutes and was sure to do all that I had asked of her and even took me plenty of pictures, and in all of them I could see that Faithful was very happy that Sydney was with her. I had Sydney come in the evening and the next morning and she went above and beyond all I expected. I definitely will be using her frequently. Thank you Sydney from faithful and I!!! ☺️

Sydney is one of the most responsible and loving pet owners I know. She is always around when I need her to come over to feed and walk my dogs when I know I am going to be working later than usual, or when I need someone to make visits when I am out of the home. She's always on time and makes sure they're safe. I know she has a few different types of animals herself, and so it makes me feel at ease my dogs are safe with another animal lover. She goes above and beyond for my fur babies! My two dogs and I love her!
