Affectionate dog-lover in UWS

Pet care experience

I have been lucky to have a dog in my life for the past 16 years and the joy they bring is priceless. I have a 5 lb. Malti-pom at home who would love to have some friends over to play with. I work from home and would love to take care of your furbaby while you're away or at work. I have been a dog-lover all my life and used to dog-sit for my neighbors before I got my own. I will definitely treat your dog the way I treat mine - with love, affection, and patience. I know that leaving your dog in someone else's care can often be stressful, so I will be sure to send you pictures and videos of your pup enjoying la vida loca in NYC!

Simply amazing! I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my dog. She kept me so informed it was like I never left. Thank you so much!!!

I'm so glad to find Sylvia and Juju!! She is the most responsible, punctual and reliable dog sitter!!! (and Juju is the most friendly pup ever :)) She updated everyday with pics/videos so I had nothing worry about while my 2weeks trip. And above all, She treated Pinot just like Juju, so Pinot had so much fun with them. I can tell how happy Pinot was(you can see it by pictures she posted :)) Five stars are not enough to rate her! She is the best sitter that I've ever met!

Sylvia was a perfect host! She took the time to make sure Wolfie would be comfortable in her beautiful home (we had a few meet-ups before hand so the dogs could get acquainted). Throughout our trip she sent updates, pictures, and videos of Wolfie. We could see he was having a great time and that really eased our own separation anxiety. We will definitely contact Sylvia again when we need to go out of town. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Perfect! Sylvia is the dog whisperer! Lots of neighborhood walks, dog park visits, many fun photos and even a video sent to me while we were away. My dog came home missing their new friend Juju (the resident pup at Sylvia's). Sylvia asked great questions to ensure that the doggies had the same care they have at home. It was such a relief to go away knowing my baby was in such good hands. Thank you so much for your loving care!!!! I can't recommend Sylvia highly enough.

Information Sylvia S. would like to know about your pet

I have a small 5 lb. Malti-pom at home, so if you know that your dog doesn't do well with small dogs, we probably aren't a good fit for daycare or overnight stays. Smaller breeds are preferable, purely for our dog's safety. Thanks!

A typical day

I love to take my dog, Mint Julep, to the dog park so that she can run around with other little pups. She also gets regular city trips (we live in LIC) to Central Park for long walks in the sun. We have a big balcony that we play on as well (the balcony has a concrete wall and is completely safe for dogs of all sizes).
