I am a pretty good at following instructions, so if you have special plans or routines that you set up for your senior dogs will be glad to take a good look at them and proceed as you asked, and that will include medications or allergies to food. Just let me know what is the best way to make your pup happy.

A typical day

I enjoyed the aspect of animals as they are all about having fun, so we will walk and explore around your neighborhood, or if you prefer play at the park, and while we get to have fun we will also learn how to follow command by making it fun and playful.

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Sylvia been around furry friends all my life and enjoyed their company. My experience is been extensive with a variety of all animals, my foster Mom was an animal whisper if it would had been her she would had had a sanctuary of all kinds of animals. I grew up with parrots, cats, dogs, cows, horses and and even reptiles. I have worked with animals since I was in high school working with a biologist and a Veterinarian learning how to properly care as far as feeding, administering medication, shots and making sure they were properly care. I have help take care of my family and friends pets and I had dogs of my own, had a beautiful and my friend a husky for 17 years and passed away two years ago, took care of him until he went to heaven, currently have my daughters dog moglie and he is a lab/hound great personality he is 8 years old, while she is away I take good care of him. I have also rescue birds and other dogs and nurture them to life. I would like to make this as my career while I learn and take classes to further help the field with animals. For instance would like to get my license on grooming and animal behavior. I was working on retail for 7 years and now that I have an opportunity to work for Rover it will be an honor to take care of your pet family.

Sylvia did a great job with our 3 dogs. 2 of the dogs are super reactive and fearful of strangers but they warmed up to Sylvia very quickly. My 16 year old senior dog with eating issues ate very well and enjoyed his daily walks.. She sent us daily pictures and videos of the dogs that reassured us that the dogs were happy and well looked after. I would definitely have her take care of our dogs again!

Sylvia did a great job watching our kids. She sent lots of updates and great videos that helped ease our minds and feel very assured they were getting the best of care. They were all calm and happy when we got back, and the house was in perfect condition.
