I love playtime, whether it’s playing with toys together or encouraging independent play through enrichment toys. I’m happy to run through “training sessions” with your dog’s commands, and I will give your pet plenty of snuggles.

Pet care experience

I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have lived with and cared for 1 to 3 dogs my entire life! I have cared for dogs of varying breeds ranging from puppies and small dogs all the way to a 150+ pound Great Dane. I have two pups: an extremely friendly almost 3 year old re-homed golden doodle and a rambunctious 10 month old mixed breed rescue. I have lived with and/or cared for a Great Dane, husky/malamute, boxer, pitbull mixes, chow chow mix, among many others. I’ve dealt with resource guarding, have experience with senior care, and am excellent with basic command training. I would love to meet your pups and help make their lives even more enriching!

Sydney was amazing with all of my fur babies. The dogs and cats loved her! Even my antisocial cat! She never goes around new people but she showed her face just after a day! They were all taken very good care of and I would definitely use her again!

Sydney has been so great with my new rescue pup! She’s available to work with my schedule, always shows up on time, and communicates great. I always look forward to my dog’s pictures and dog updates. I plan to use her as often as I need!

I've known Sydney her whole life. Sydney has owned dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. Whether caring for her own beloved pets, or the pets of family members, friends, or neighbors, Sydney has shown herself to be attentive, interactive, responsible, and compassionate. She has a natural affection for animals, and I would trust her implicitly with any pet.
