Pet care experience

Experienced small dog caretaker.

As soon as I retired, I started pet sitting. I am used to staying in clients homes to care for their pets which also shows that their home is not empty. It also means I’m there to give your dog the attention it needs while you’re away.

Sylvia did an incredible job caring for our fur babies! They were obviously well-cared for during our time away. She kept us informed about how they were doing and sent photos. We had some unexpected issues with our cable while we were gone, and she arranged to have it serviced so it would be working upon our return. If your babies need attention, love and care during your absence, we recommend Sylvia!

Questions I usually ask are: 1. Who is your veterinarian, and who should I contact in an emergency? 2. Does your pet have any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special needs? 3. What is your pet’s normal daily routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and sleep? 4. How does your pet behave around strangers, other animals, or when left alone? 5. Are there any safety concerns or habits I should know about, such as escaping, chewing, scratching, or anxiety?
