Safety, trust & environment

Creating a calm, pet-friendly, and safe space is my top priority. I keep hazardous items out of reach, use gates if needed, and follow any routines your pet is used to. In your home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's usual environment to reduce stress. I always keep a close eye on them, provide regular updates, and follow your instructions carefully.

Information Sydney W. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know your pet's routine, temperament, medical needs, and any triggers or fears. I also like to know their favorite toys, commands they respond to, and how they behave around other animals. The more I know, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and safe for them.

A typical day

A typical day includes a mix of activity and rest, tailored to each pet's needs. We will go for walks, play games like fetch or tug of war, and enjoy some quiet time. If your pet enjoys training, I can reinforce good habits with fun, positive-reinforcement sessions. My goal is to keep them mentally and physically engaged.

Sydney was amazing! My cat absolutely loved her! I felt super confident leaving my girl in her hands while I was gone!

Sydney went above and beyond, keeping us updated with so many pictures and videos which gave us complete peace of mind. We never had a single moment of stress or worry because we could see how happy, loved, and well cared for Ollie was. It was obvious that she treated him like one of her own, and he absolutely adored her! We will 100% be using her again, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we could trust completely with our puppy. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Ollie!

Sydney was amazing and I would recommend her to my own friends and family. She kept us updated the entire time we were away so we didn’t have to worry about how our girl was. Every photo she sent our dog looked happy as a clam and calm. We came home to the house looking just like we left it and a happy at ease dog.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
