Pet care experience

UCLA graduate and military leader

I am your furry friend's new bestie! For my entire life, I have cared for animals such as dogs, cats, koi fish, and chinchillas. I have experience with kittens and senior cats, as well as special cat breeds like Maine Coons. I have also cared for small dog breeds like Chihuahuas and large dog breeds like Labradors. I have experience with raising two Labrador puppies through seniorhood. I love all animals, and I love that every pet has their own unique personality and care needs. I currently have a rescue pup. His name is Mochi, and he is a 1 year old lab mix. I adopted him at just 2 months old. I raised him through puppyhood, ensuring that he was thoroughly trained and socialized. Mochi loves to run, play, and cuddle. He especially loves to play with my roommate’s two mini dachshunds. Mochi is a happy-go-lucky guy!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I can accommodate any special instructions you give me. I can easily crate a dog and create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them! I am a one-client sitter, meaning that if you book me for any service, I will only care for your pets during that time. For example, I will not be walking your dog(s) in a group with other clients' dogs, but I can walk multiple dogs if you have 2+ that need to be walked at once! This is one way that I ensure safety for the pets I care for, especially ones that are perhaps more shy and need one-on-one attention.

Sylvia did great with my pup! Her communication (and dog photos) were on point the entire weekend we were away. She made us feel super comfortable right away and we felt great leaving our pup with her. 10/10 would book again

Sylvia did fantastic with my two kitties and a senior dog! She went above and beyond and walked Cooper and provided lots of happy photos. He warmed up to her quickly and I’m sure we’ll be using her for future bookings!

Sylvia is great with pets! She does an amazing job with dogs and cats of all sizes. She’s cared for my Labrador retriever Cocoa and my family’s cats. Sylvia always makes sure they’ve gotten their energy out and loves to give them attention with belly rubs/scratches. I would recommend her for any walks, drops in, and overnight stays.

I couldn’t be more thrilled with Sylvia as our dog walker! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a genuine love for dogs and an excellent understanding of his needs. Our dog Buddy absolutely adores her and gets excited every time she comes to the door.

Sylvia is an animal lover through and through. She grew up around dogs, cats, and pond fish. She took an interest at a young age to spend time with them and cared for them. She would make a great pet companion.
