Attentive, caring & insured sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats and cared for them since I was young. I will treat yours as if they were my own - with love and care. I've had lots of experience with all different breeds of puppies/kittens to older dogs/cats. I have two cats of my own and will eventually have a dog again, but for now I get to spend time with the dogs I care for through my business and Rover! I will never accept a booking that I am not 100% sure that I can handle. You can trust that I will take care of your best friend while you're away, I will follow their schedules and routines to the best of my ability and only make changes when approved by you. I am available for services anywhere in Vancouver or surrounding areas! Locations further than 5 miles from me will have an additional charge based on distance. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets while you are away. I'm also fully vaccinated!

Sylvia has sat for our young dog several times now and always does a great job! We especially love all the communication so we never have a chance to worry about our pup. The house is left clean too!

Sylvia was fantastic. She took great care of our dogs and cat. I have one of those “one-person chihuahuas” and she managed to get him on walks and they were all happy & healthy when we got home.

Sylvia was amazing! So flexible to my schedule, clearly explained what to expect, and gave me lots of pictures while I was gone. I returned to a very clean house and happy pets. I won't hesitate to book with her again!

Example schedule: Sitter may be away for work, then will arrive after and stay through to the next morning. House Sitting - Constant Care (3 walks included if needed) This option would be a good fit for households with puppies, senior dogs, or pets who are used to having lots of time with someone home.
