Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for pets my whole life!
For my entire life, I’ve always lived with dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, hamsters - you name it! - and as such, pet care has always been second nature. Growing up a pet lover, a few years ago I decided that I wanted to start pet sitting, and I have been doing it on and off ever since. Now being home for the summer from college, I would love to find more work in the field. Additionally, I have 4 senior pets at home including 2 senior dogs, so I am very comfortable working with older animals and their needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home (as well as a fish) who each have very specific dietary needs and routines. As such, I am very used to not only following specific instructions and steps to the letter, but also to balancing various pet needs. Additionally, having had many pets in my lifetime and having taken care of various pets for others, I am incredibly familiar with how every pet has different behaviors and care needs. For my own dogs at home, for example, given their age, they do not do well with long, rigorous walks. However, for one of the dogs I have been sitting for on and off for the past 3 years, she is full of energy and is the exact opposite of my senior dogs at home. Overall, even though every pet is different, I make sure that their needs are well met and pay attention to what messages they are sending me with body language and behaviors.
Ratings and reviews
Sydney always gets back to me promptly, arrives on time and has a great relationship with Findlay. I will request her whenever I can.
I appreciate the time Sydney spends with my boys. Her communication is great, she is always on time, and I know my cats love when she visits! Thank you so much Sydney!
Sydney is awesome. She came on time, ready to walk, conscientious and super friendly. I will definitely call her again when Fin is in need of a walk.
Sydney is super sweet and did a great job with my nervous older cat Lily. I will definitely book Sydney again next time I am away.
My cats loved Sydney so much! She was prompt and professional and had great communication. I will absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone with fur babies
I can't say enough good things about Sydney! She was incredibly professional, communicative, responsible and caring while looking after our two dogs and our home. Sydney sent daily updates about their adventures, stuck to their feeding and medicine schedules, asked questions when unsure of something, and was extremely tidy-- our house didn't even look like someone had stayed over. We, and the dogs, look forward to having her back soon!
