Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pets Next Best Friend!
I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're apart of my own family. Over the years, I've cared for and watched pets for neighbors, family and friends, everything from drop-in visits to extended stays and I genuinely enjoy giving each animal the same care I'd want for my own. I currently own two senior cats (my babies), so I'm especially comfortable with older pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a gentler routine. I also frequently care for my sister's dog and cat when she's traveling, so I'm experienced juggling different personalities and needs under one roof. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving playtime and snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe while you're away I treat every animal like family.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's hands, I feel the same way about my own. That's why I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. Safety first: I'm always alert to potential hazards, things like open doors, toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or escape routes. I follow any instructions you leave to the letter, and I'll check in if anything seems off. Trust & communication: I'll send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it's a quick text after a drop-in or a full report after a walk, you'll never be left wondering. I respect your home, your space, and your pet's routine. A calm, loving environment: I meet every animal where they are, shy cats get patience and quiet company, energetic dogs get walks and playtime, seniors get gentle care and extra comfort. My goal is to keep their day as stress-free and happy as possible, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Sydney is incredible! She has taken care of our pets over the years, and as they’ve gotten older they require extra TLC. Our cat requires a special diet with different supplements, but Sydney stays on top of her routine and sends updates while we’re away! She treats our fur babies like they’re her own!
Sydney is amazing with our senior dog and cat! Our dog can be a bit reactive on walks, but she knows how to handle him with patience and care. She’s great with our cat who loves to play and eat. We love having her take care of our kiddos!
Sydney has always been an animal lover. When she was 10 we started going to the local animal shelter to bring donations and visit the dogs and cats. We have always had cats in our home and Syd has always been very caring and responsible with them. Several of our cats had medical conditions and she was great with giving medications. In high school and college she would always help her friends with pet sitting for their families. Now she lives on her own and recently adopted two senior cats! Syd is super responsible and your pets would be in great hands. Sydney’s Mom
I highly recommend Sydney as a pet caregiver for anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive care for their animals.Sydney is exceptionally responsible and brings a natural empathy and deep commitment to animal welfare every single day. When caring for my two cats, she didn't just handle the basics like feeding and playing; she provided genuine love, warmth, and attention that kept them completely at ease.What sets Sydney apart is her outstanding communication and transparency. She provides regular, patient updates that give pet owners complete peace of mind while they are away. She is a consummate professional who treats every pet like a member of her own family. I would trust her with my pets again in a heartbeat.

Schedule
I have a pretty open schedule, so I'm flexible and can usually accommodate what works best for you. I'm available for: Weekday visits and walks: morning, afternoon, or evening Weekend care: both Saturday and Sunday Recurring bookings: happy to set up a regular schedule if that's what you need Last-minute requests: if something comes up, just ask Whether you need daily check-ins for your cat, a midday dog walk, or someone to stop by while you're out of town, I can likely make it work. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask about a specific time, I'm happy to figure something out!
