Safety, trust & environment

I currently provide care in my client’s home, which helps pets stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any specific care needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I stay attentive to the pet’s behavior and surroundings at all times. I keep the space clean, respect the home, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.

Information Sylvia B. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs. This includes feeding schedule, exercise level, and any behavioral tendencies such as anxiety, reactivity, or triggers during walks. I also ask about medical needs, allergies, and emergency contacts, as well as preferences like favorite toys, commands they respond to, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. The more I know in advance, the smoother and safer the experience is for your pet.

A typical day

I adjust activities based on each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, that can include structured walks, light runs, playtime, or interactive games to keep them both physically and mentally engaged. For cats, I focus on play with toys, gentle interaction, and giving them space when needed so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay close attention to how each pet responds and make sure the activity level keeps them happy, not overwhelmed.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Sylvia! I’m reliable, punctual, and take pet care seriously. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have experience handling different personalities, from calm to high-energy. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and attentive presence, I adapt to their individual needs. I enjoy being active, so I’m happy to take dogs on longer walks or light runs if that fits their routine. For cats, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and engaged while you’re away. You’ll always stay updated. I send regular photos and check-ins so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My priority is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re gone.

Sylvie is very reliable and punctual. She is a very friendly person and she loves animals. When I was in the shelter at the Hawaiian Human Society with her, she treated all the cats and dogs so lovely. I warmly can recommend her as a sitter.
