Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted and Caring Animal Lover
What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep passion for animals. I've been pet sitting since I was 10, and over the years, I've gained extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. My family often relies on me for pet advice and assistance, which has helped me build strong instincts for animal care. Whether it's administering medication, providing specialized senior care, or teaching new tricks, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure the area is pet-proofed, with no harmful objects or substances within reach. I follow any specific instructions the owner provides, including dietary needs, medication schedules, and routines to keep the pets comfortable and healthy. Building trust with the animals is key, so I take the time to interact with them gently and patiently, helping them feel secure in their surroundings. Additionally, I create a calm and stress-free environment, offering plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to meet their emotional and physical needs.
Ratings and reviews
For the past two years, Sylvia has been the dedicated pet sitter for my 3-year-old Boxer, Scooby. I am consistently amazed by the bond they share, often finding myself a bit jealous of their connection. Sylvia treats Scooby as if he were her own, and it’s clear that he adores her. Sylvia's reliability and commitment have been a great comfort during my busy workweeks. Knowing that Scooby is in her capable hands gives me peace of mind. She not only ensures his needs are met but also engages with him energetically, matching his high energy levels with play and attention. Sylvia is an exceptional pet sitter who goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and dependable caregiver for their pets. Scooby and I are incredibly fortunate to have her!
I am incredibly grateful to have had Sylvia as a caregiver for my senior dog, Charity. Sylvia's dedication and compassion were invaluable during this time. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure Charity's comfort and well-being. Sylvia helped tremendously with feeding Charity and administering her medication with precision and care. Her gentle touch and patience were evident when she trimmed the hair around Charity's eyes and kept them clean, which significantly improved Charity's comfort and quality of life. Sylvia's kindness and exceptional caregiving have made a profound difference in Charity's final days. I am so thankful to have had her support and would highly recommend Sylvia to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Sylvia truly goes the extra mile for the pets in her care, and I couldn't be happier to have had her help during this time.

Schedule
As a 20-year-old college student, I attend school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 10:20 a.m. I also work part-time at an accounting firm when my schedule allows. With a lot of free time outside of those commitments, I’d love to incorporate pet care into my routine, as spending time with animals is something I'm passionate about.
