Pet care experience

Calm and Patient Pet Lover

I have been taking care of primarily cats since I was 5 years old, but have come to love our canine friends just as much over the years, and have taken care of many friends' and family's furry family members over the years. I pride myself on being an attentive caregiver, with a respect for animals' unique personalities and boundaries, allowing me to take the time to gain each animal's trust in their own time.

Safety, trust & environment

I promise to always be an attentive caregiver for your pets, making sure I always know their location within the property, providing photo/video status updates if you'd like, and monitoring their behavior for signs of their moods and needs. As someone who works well within structure, any schedule you provide for regular care tasks will be followed to a T. I respect that while I am taking care of your companion I am in both your home and theirs and will treat the space with the utmost respect. Please do inform me ahead of starting of any areas that are restricted to your pet and any other expectations you have for your space so I can ensure that all things run as though you never left!

Sydney is an outstanding sitter! Our dog Joey was treated like the princess she is and our cats made themselves available for cuddles and pets on a regular basis. Daily walks, even in the rain, kept Joey happy and I'm pretty sure my house was cleaner when we got home than when we left. I'm so grateful we found Sydney!

This was my first time booking with Sydney. We were scheduled to go away overnight but ended up needing to come home sooner due to the weather. When I reached out to Sydney about the change of plans, she was more than understanding and was super flexible. I truly appreciated that. She was on time and took care of my crew for the time that she was here. I will happily book with Sydney again!

Sydney was an excellent cat sitter. Super responsive and took great care of my cat. She left the house in perfect condition and even pitched in bringing in a grocery order before a impending snow storm.

Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.

Sydney did a wonderful job staying with my dog! My dog is very fearful of strangers and she did a great job making him comfortable. I would highly recommend her!

Please let me know ahead of time of any specific expectations you have for your care period. This especially applies for medicines, medical care, or monitoring your pet may need. For such things, please be specific as possible, including dosages, when to administer the care, and/or what to look for. If you are expecting anyone to stop by while I am present please also notify me ahead of time or I will not admit them into your home. For anything not specified I will use my best judgement. Feeding: Frequency and schedule, restricted or special foods (for example, if your pet has an allergy but there's still a few cans of that type of food left in the pantry, please let me know so I don't give it to them. Or, if there is a specific treat or food that they should receive please let me know, some owners for example want their pet to have greenies every day for their teeth), normal eating habits, human foods your pet is specifically drawn to - I'll be sure not to bring this item with me to ensure the health of your pet Routine: Walking/exercise schedule, distance or length preferences for walks or exercise sessions, any preferred walking routes, other scheduled activities or appointments Other: Any restricted areas for me or your pet, location of necessary supplies (food, leash, disposal bags, litter, medication, etc.), anything you need me to bring with. If you're not sure, please include the information! The more information I have, the better service I can provide.
