Pet care experience

The best care when you're not there

I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved.

My baby was very happy with Miss Sylvia. She sends pics and videos and keeps in touch. She is flexible when flights do what they do. Have rebooked her twice already and plan to keep using her in the future.

Received tons of videos and pics while my baby boy was with Miss Sylvie. Quick responses. After the first day his videos showed he was comfortable with her. And he gave her a run for her money the first couple of hours when he felt betrayed by me leaving him!

Sylvia was great. She kept us posted on Cooper with texts, pictures, and videos. Would definitely bring Coop to stay with her again.

Sylvia was fantastic. It was great peace of mind to leave him with her for a few days knowing he was going to be well taken care of. Our kids loved getting regular photos!

Schedule

I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

A typical day

Depending on your dog’s personality, we might take peaceful walks around the neighborhood, have playful tug-of-war sessions, or curl up together for some quiet time. I’m big on giving belly rubs, brushing if they enjoy it, and keeping things calm and loving. If your dog has favorite toys or routines, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home and keep their tails wagging!

Before taking care of your dog, I would like to know: - How many walks you would like them to have, & for how long - When they like to be fed -Does your pup get along with other dogs and/or children? - Is your pup up to date on all shots/vaccines/etc?
