Safety, trust & environment

Pets will not be welcome in my home as I have too many animals and unknown factors associated with that. When entering a clients home I will make sure the pet can hear me entering the home as to not startle them. I will always let them sniff me and see who I am before any further approach. Any treats that are allowed to be given while owners are away I will give. It ultimately depends on the animal and what is communicated to me about the personality and behaviors. I will always Ask questions if I am unsure of anything and never assume something based off the way I care for my personal pets. Everyone has different instructions and I intend to honor them.

Information Sylvia L. would like to know about your pet

Any behaviors I should be aware of, especially if your dog is on the more aggressive side. I’ve handled a lot of not nice dogs but sometimes people forget to tell me they aren’t nice. Any medications that need to be administered etc.

A typical day

Your pet will get many treats and attention. I will keep their usual routine and try not to shake it up too much. Happy to spend time with your fur babies wether it’s on the couch or playing.

Pet care experience

I’ve worked at and managed a dog boarding facility for a little over two years in downtown Baltimore. I also have a pit bull mix and a beagle. My beagle is 10 who’ve I had since she was a puppy and my pity is about 5 who’ve I’ve also had since a puppy. My beagle has currently had to undergo a lot of surgeries so I can certainly take care of any high maintenance or elderly dogs.

Sylvia is 100% amazing!! On an international trip, my internet connection was super challenging (unexpectedly). Each time I was able to obtain signal, I was flooded with the best pictures of my Teddy, and great check ins from Sylvia. I immediately knew that Teddy was in great care and I was at ease in my heart. Sylvia's great communication and diligence was non-stop, even when my communication went down! This added so much literal PEACE to my time away. I will use her again and again in the future for sure.

Sylvia was great! Communicative, clean, and easygoing. Our dog Honey can be suspicious of strangers in the house, but he got along great with Sylvia.

Sylvia is wonderful! The cats love her, and they don't normally come out for catsitters. She takes the best photos too! It's clear she loves what she does.
