Calling all cuddly pups and kits! ❤

Pet care experience

Hello! A little about me: I'm originally from Minnesota, lived in NW DC for about nine years, and moved to Richmond in May of 2023. I grew up taking care of several cats and fell in love with dogs after my dad had a midlife crisis and adopted the sweetest Wheaton terrior named Harley. 🙃 I currently have an adventurous 8-year old calico cat named Lucy. 🐈 I am currently available for walks, drop ins, and in home pet sitting, and would love to run around with your pup or cuddle your cat on the couch 🐶🐱. I love dogs and cats of all types and sizes and frequently pet sit for my friends. I understand that all of our furry friends have different needs and am dedicated to making sure your and their needs are met.

Sylvia did a great job with my dog! She was flexible, attentive, and I would definitely use again!

Amazing! My pups loved her and were taken care. She was very understanding even when my apartment towed her car. Will definitely rebook!!

She did great! This was the first time I used Sylvia's services. She came by before the first visit to meet my dog and it made it easier to communicate my dogs individual needs and personality. I am planning on using her services again.

Sylvia is a great friend to all dogs, big and small. She is a caring, patient, responsible pet owner herself, and she took care of my dog like he was her own. She's one of those people who animals naturally gravitate toward. I highly recommend her as a dog walker and pet caregiver.

I am very open and flexible, and am happy to work with you and your pet's needs. Really, my main goal is keeping your fur baby happy and healthy 😊

Information Sylvia K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, behavioral issues, or medical/medication needs. I want to keep your pup as happy as possible, so also feel free to tell me about their routines, favorite toys, or best spot for scratchies.

A typical day

I love going to to dog parks and throwing around tennis balls to keep dogs active and having a blast. And I'll scrub your dog clean if they end up covered and dirt and slobber. If that doesn't tire them out then we'll go on long walks and play with all their toys!

I currently work full time in Chesterfield so I am free for morning and evening bookings. If you are in the Chesterfield area, I can possibly drop in during afternoons. Longer term stays requests should be made at least two weeks in advance.
