Pet care experience

Animal loving english teacher

I have been a high school English teacher for 5 years and looking for part-time work. I have loved animals my whole life, and am available weekday evenings and all weekends. I have had experience walking, house-sitting, and playing with dogs and loved every second of it. I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society as well as a shelter in Spokane, WA where I attended college at Gonzaga University. I have been heavily involved in animal rights clubs in both Idaho and Washington and have a strong passion for the well-being and treatment of animals. I would love to take care of your pets and give you the peace of mind that I would want from someone taking care of my own pets. Thank you!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats of my own and make their well-being a priority. Both cats stay indoors and get as much love & attention as possible. I cannot board animals in my home.

Dog Walking • Aug 22, 2026

Sydney arrived punctually, established quick rapport with Benji, and took him on a tiring and productive walk. I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future if she was available.

Sydnie was great! She was able to step in last minute to watch my cat for two days. Mordy really enjoyed having her visit him too.

Sydnie has always done a great job looking after my elderly cat. She makes sure he gets the attention and care he needs and I would recommend her to everyone!

House Sitting • Aug 28, 2024

Sydnie took such wonderful care of my two cats, reactive dog, and house, during a week-long housesitting. The pets were calm and happy when we got home. The house looked great. She communicated clearly and appropriately about the pets’ needs (including a dog vomiting episode). I look forward to confidently working with Sydnie again!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sydnie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
How comfortable they are with people/other animals, if they have any meds/conditions, who their vet is in case of emergency, what they enjoy doing most, what calms them down, etc.
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.
