7 years experience & special care!
Pet care experience
I strive to go above and beyond when it comes to the care of your pet by providing attention to the whole of your dog. I not only focus on their comfort and exercise - grooming and behavioral needs are also goals I would love to achieve while your pet is in my care as well. This may include brushing, nail trimming, minor trimming, bathing, providing positive reinforcement while out and about, shaping desired behaviors and so many other things! I have extensive knowledge regarding small animals, dogs and cats along with seven years of professional experience. You can expect detailed reports back after each session while you, your dog and I build a rapport, and I am very open-minded when it comes to what my clients may need! My prices may be a few dollars higher than the average Rover rate - this is due to my own personal adjustment in consideration of my experience, extra enrichment and services I may provide you and your pet. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions!
Reviews
Sylvia is an absolute animal person! She's wonderful with all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. She especially knows what she's talking about when it comes to dogs. I would highly recommend her for any kind of pet related need. She is a very trustworthy person and I trust her completely with all my animals. She is very kind and patient with animals and is a very compassionate person.
I have known Sylvia for many years and she has always had great compassion for animals. Her previous job was at a boarding facility, so she knows how to take care of pets. She has also pet-sit at client's home (through her job) and had many clients that requested her over and over again. Even when it was her day off, if a client called to talk to her about pet-sitting, she would always answer and was very professional on the phone. She would even send updates about pets to owners while she was pet-sitting. She is very kind, considerate, and trustworthy person!
About Sylvia R.

Skills
Information Sylvia R. would like to know about your pet
In my home: crate trained is preferred but not required. House trained is required. Must get along with cats and small dogs. All breeds welcome! In others' home: Willing to work with any situation!
A typical day
I have access to trails behind my house along with several large, open grassy areas for walks and play. Dogs are always securely leashed. I love to provide both physical and mental stimulation to help pups get the most out of their day and experience with me! I also enjoy taking pups out to the Huckleberry Trail or Blacksburg Dog Park (per owner request and having attended before).
