Pet care experience

Raised my family in what has become a little oasis in a quiet neighborhood. We currently have two sweet furry family members. We’ve always enjoyed hosting our friend’s pets at gatherings and taking care of them while they’ve been away. We have more time and space now and we’d like to open our home and help out other local doggy parents like us.

Sylvia was very flexible with our arrive and depart times. Tristan came home relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed his day with Sylvia and her dogs. I would book Sylvia again for doggy day care.

Wow! 5 Stars! I can't say enough great things about Silvia! This was my first (of many more) dog walks and it’s a huge relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. She was punctual, communicative, and truly seem to love what she does. After our meet/greet the day prior, my dog was so excited to see her the next day, and it's obvious she's amazing with dogs b/c my dog instantly bonded with Sylvia! She even sent me a photo on the walk and a follow up text to asking when she was going to see Mia again. It gives me peace of mind and brightens my day! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable doggie care. Thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about Sylvia! My dog, Piper, is incredibly anxious and can be a lot to handle, she’s nervous around new people and needs someone who really understands her quirks. Sylvia has been walking her for a year now, and she has been nothing short of amazing. She’s patient, reliable, and truly seems to care about my pup. My work schedule is all over the place, but she has always been flexible and dependable. On top of that, her communication is fantastic. Sylvia keeps me in the loop about everything, sends pictures anytime she watches Piper, and always gives me plenty of notice if she’ll be out of town. Knowing that Piper is in such good hands gives me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!
