Pet care experience

Reliable and experienced pet parent

I’ve fostered over 60 dogs in the past 15 years and I am a full time dog mom to my 2 year old high energy Vizsla(she’s great and so sweet to all dogs). I am very experienced in dog sitting, dog walking and dog training. I have lots of extra time on my hands and would absolutely love to spend it with your pup! I’ve dog sat large breeds and small breeds of all different temperaments and medical needs, and am so happy to accommodate any little quirks for any dog!

Sylvia was so wonderful with my pups! She’s conscientious, provided regular updates and photos, and gave me such peace of mind leaving my babies for a week.

Sylvia was amazing with Nyx and was prompt, responsive and attentive to the initial directions. She flexed when I had to reschedule the meet and greet due to injury. Nyx was happy to see her. Would definitely book with Sylvia again!

Sylvia is wonderful with dogs and so knowledgeable! She's a wealth of information. I've seen her with her own dog -- she's patient, but in control. And so loving. I trust her immensely. Her energy level is unmatched, as is her compassion.

Sylvia has walked my dog for the past 5 years and always takes the time to make my anxious chihuahua feel safe and comfortable. Sylvia has always been patient with her and knows how to be a calming presence for the dogs she works with. I would highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a compassionate companion for their pet.

Schedule

I’m a dedicated dog owner who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I take my own dog on multiple andventures each day and understand how important a consistent routine is for keeping dogs happy, healthy, and engaged. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including daytime hours when many owners are at work. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention during the day, I’m committed to providing reliable care and treating them like one of my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care and always strive to create a comfortable, positive environment for every pet. My husband and I have a sweet 2-year-old Vizsla who loves other dogs and people. As dog owners ourselves, we understand the importance of exercise, routine, and plenty of attention, and we’ll treat your pet like part of the family. Whether you have a high energy dog with active needs, or a senior or special needs dog who needs lots of calm love, your pet with be safe and happy with us!

Pets

A typical day

Typically, I take my dog out for an hour in the morning, an hour in the early evening and a couple more 20-30 minute outings throughout the day. We also do a few short training sessions and structured play sessions indoors throughout the day. And LOTS of cuddles and naps. If your pup needs more or less stimulation than this, we are able to easily adjust and provide separate walks if that would feel more comfortable for your dog!

I know all dogs have their little quirks that make them special in the best ways. I am happy to administer any medication, raw/home cooked diets, or any other special care your pup may need! I will keep you thoroughly updated regarding your pets stay.
