Pet care experience

Your dog’s home away from home!

I grew up with dogs since I was a kid. I’m a fur parent of two friendly and playful pups: 8 years old Chow chow / Husky mix and 1 year old Golden Retriever. I provide the highest quality care and the most enjoyable experience for your dog while you're away. I volunteered at a local rescue center for few years. I have experience with dogs that have leash reactivity problems. I’m a dog lover and your fur-baby will be treated as if it were my own dog. ** If I’m marked as ‘unavailable’ and I have previously taken care of your pet, please contact me and I might be able to accommodate you. **

Sylvia and her family took such good care of Pennie while we were away! Pennie has had a rough time with seizures, and this was our first time leaving her since a major medical episode. Sylvia researched her condition and needs ahead of time and was prepared for anything to keep Pennie safe and cared for while we were gone. She made us feel at ease too. Pennie had a great time! She played with Shasta and Fitz Roy, enjoyed meeting other new friends, and remembered that she loves running through tunnels! She came home happy and probably can’t wait to stay with Sylvia again. Thank you!

Our Korra loves it here! After a meet and greet, you can tell how much care and thought Sylvia puts in caring for your pet. She took the time to understand our digs temperament and whether it was a good fit for herself and her dogs. Plenty of fenced space for an active dog to tire out too.

First time boarding skipper (1 year old) with Sylvia. Great experience! Our vacation was even better knowing that our puppy was having her own vacation with a lot of fun with Sylvia‘s own dogs. Skipper was cared as part of the family.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we loved the updates and photos. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough great things about Sylvia! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took amazing care of Teddy, keeping me updated with photos, videos, and sweet little notes about their time together. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving and capable hands. Teddy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and attentive. I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
