I now have a 4 year old energetic cat, Zelda, who I spend my days with while working from home! Although she’s an energetic girl, she is very shy and I love getting to see her come out of her shell. She loves to play with her toys and realllly enjoys bird watching from the windowsill

Safety, trust & environment

Since moving to the city, I’ve gotten the opportunity to care for my friends and neighbors’ cats when they are away on vacation or work trips. With working remotely, I have flexibility with scheduling. I’m very respectful of your families home and if you have special requests, let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate. I’ll always make sure they have enough food, water, walks, pets, and attention before leaving.

Information Sylvia H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are important specifications needed before house sitting or dropping in. I’m happy to meet up at a local coffee shop or nearby park to meet your loving pet!

A typical day

While staying with them, I’ll take your dog out on walks, give them treats and pets and playing any games they love to play with you! If your cat is shy, like my Zelda, I will be patient to earn their trust and curiosity :)

Pet care experience

I was fortunate to grow along side my family cat, Ella, and through her years, we’ve dealt with a few health issues. Through my experiences with her, I gained experience with administering medication. I’m happy to report she is thriving and living a healthy life now :)

Sylvia did an awesome job. She's a great communicator and my cat loved her, can't ask for anything more.
