Highlights
Pet care experience
Active & Experienced Pet Lover!
I have always been a pet lover. My first two dream jobs were that or farmer and vet. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, you name it, and would always be the first to offer up my petsitting skills to the neighbors. During the start of the pandemic, i started fostering dogs and cats. My fostering experiences have given me perspective into all types of dogs and personalities! I have fostered puppies and dogs with medical needs as well.

Ratings and reviews
Sylvia was reliable and responsive and Whidbey seemed to have a great time with her and her dog. Appreciated the pictures and updates and knowing he was in good hands!
Sylvia has watched my dog twice and I will definitely be using her for future boardings. She's been very reliable, quick to respond to messages, and flexible with my timing. Her even-keeled demeanor feels very reassuring when I'm out of town. I can tell my dog likes spending time with her and the fam during his stays!
My dog loves Sylvia! 10/10 sitter great with my dog, Sasha!
Sylvia was wonderful with Baker and sent lots of updates and pictures. Baker came home to us tired and happy which was perfect!
Sylvia was great! She is responsive and very responsible and organized. Jackson enjoyed hanging out with her and her sweet pup. I received regular updates and knew Jackson was in good hands.
Sylvia was great! She picked up Peanut from our house which was super helpful and was very flexible on timing. Good communication as well.

Schedule
Currently, I work mostly remote, with infrequent office visits T-W-Th. I own a high energy sporting dog, Laika the Brittany, and have no problem fitting her mental and physical needs with this schedule. I love taking her and other pets in my care running, hiking, to the local dog park (depending on the dog ofc), and on long walks in my suburban magnolia neighborhood. For in house care, i prefer crate trained dogs for safety purposes, but will accept non crate trained if need be

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am very well versed on pet first aid. I am also very cautious about not putting animals in my care in risky situations. I prioritize the pets well-being and needs for exercise or enrichment first ALWAYS. Please let me know how your pet is around other dogs, wildlife, children, and high traffic areas, so i can modify my walking routes to best fit your dogs preferences. However, as I try to be as mindful of my neighbors n my apartment as possible, I cannot accept dogs with vocal separation anxiety.

A typical day
With me, your pet will have plenty of exercise as well as down time/nap time. I live right beside two parks, one of which is enclosed, which allows for lots of fetch and ball time as well as plenty of sniffing. For dogs who have hiking experience, i love heading down to discovery park (5 min drive away) for a longer adventure. In house, i have a bunch of great nap spots and lots of fun toys and puzzles to keep the dogs occupied.
