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 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.

Sydney was so wonderful with our pups, including a brand new puppy who’s still being trained. Her updates were great and our girls had so much fun!

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.
