Availability

I am currently work full time a few minutes away from my house and am able to come home for my lunch hour to give my pup a potty break. My husband works from home twice a week. We only accept pets who don't require 24/7 attention since we are not able to provide that kind of care 3 days of the week.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety of your pet and mine is top priority. Making sure all pets get along is highly important for ensuring everyone is safe and can mingle together in our home. We limit the number of pets in our home based on size and energy. During walks ensuring safety for all pups in the area is crucial for a successful walk. When in doubt I will cross the street or walk on the other side of parked cars to avoid any reactions or altercations of pups. I don't let dogs off leash when out in public and I prefer not to let them greet other dogs unless ok'ed by you, otherwise better safe than sorry.

Information Sylvia M. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your pet the better care I can provide. No detail is too small in order to care for your fur babies. Making sure all pets are vaccinated and on flea medication is crucial. Anything that may trigger your pet to be reactive is extremely important.

A typical day

I love to play fetch and walk with pups to get to know them better outside of their homes. If cuddles is what your pet desires I’m also a fantastic scratcher and top notch belly rubber! I’m adaptable and happy to meet your pets needs.

Pet care experience

Pets love me and I love them! I rescued my most recent Covid baby who was left on the streets in LA in 2021. My friends and family all have dogs and cats, so I am always around a fur baby or two. More than happy to watch yours as well!

Pax has a wonderful time at Sylvia’s this was his first time staying over more than one night. Sylvia and family are patient and lovely. While he was happy to see us he definitely had a great time. 😊

Silvia did such an amazing job looking after my Benni. It was his first time staying at a Rover sitter without his sister Bella, which had me a little nervous at first because he was not used to being on his own. However Silvia put my worries at ease when I met her. She was very kind, welcoming, and nurturing to my Benni. She sent me updates and photos of him during his stay. Her communication was great! He also made some new friends with the other dogs she was looking after. I would definitely reach out to Silvia again.
