Information Sylvia G. would like to know about your pet

Bring your normal food & treats, also a collar and leash for walks, if they like that! If you have anything else needed for their day to day life (dental bones, medicine, ointments, grooming tools, wipes, etc.) please pack that as well and I’ll make sure their routine is kept the same! If you have a puppy, let me know what commands and tricks you are currently working on or want to improve so that I can spend extra time making sure they are learning great behaviors away from home!

A typical day

We love going on walks, playing fetch, cuddles; and catering to your pups’ needs and wants, we will do. We have so many toys in all sizes, textures, etc. we keep a close eye on everyone and make sure they’re all loved, comfortable, and safe. While you're away on vacation, my goal is to help your doggos have some fun vacation time as well, while maintaining any routines and schedules you set for them. They are welcome anywhere they are comfortable, but if you would prefer them not be on furniture, we have plenty of pet beds and pet couches in all sizes.

Pet care experience

I would love the opportunity to play with and care for your babies! I am a dog momma to two friendly and loving dogs. They both love to watch new friends come through the door! I have a large fenced back yard for playing and lounging. We have many toys & beds for your pups. I love having playtime and relaxing time and will love even more to send high-quality pictures and updates on how your baby is doing while you're away (I like calling myself a semi-professional dog photographer). My whole family is a huge lover of animals, we will keep them loved, relaxed, and active! Let me know if you have any questions, and I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

Sylvia was very helpful at the 11th hour. She took care of my dog well and sent pictures every day. She kept my dog an extra day when we were unable to pick up the next day and arranged food for my dog. Very easy to communicate with her. I strongly recommend.

I found my new dog sittter! Sylvia is literally the sweetest soul, she treated my baby like family and even took the best pictures of him while in her care. I’m usually really cautious about leaving my furbaby with new people but Sylvia spoiled my baby, took him on car rides and even treated him to pup cups! It was literally like a vacation for my baby. Absolutely would recommend her to anybody and everybody 🩵🩵

Leaving Dice with Sylvia was one of the best decisions I could have made! She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She kept me updated every single day with detailed messages and the most amazing pictures that truly captured Dice smiling, playing, and genuinely having a great time. You could tell he felt safe, loved, and comfortable in her care. As a puppy parent, it means everything to have someone who is attentive, trustworthy, and caring, and she exceeded all expectations. She made both me and Dice feel completely safe and at ease while I was away. I could tell she truly cared for him like he was her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and detail oriented pet sitter!
