Last year we had the pleasure of entrusting our furry family member, Gunner, into the care of Sylvia, and we could not be happier with the experience! From the moment we met her it was evident that Gunner was going to be placed in exceptional hands. Sylvia was incredibly communicative and responsive providing regular updates with photos and anecdotes about Gunner’s day. What is amazing about Sylvia is not only her professional and loving care for our dog, but her knowledge of canine behavior, dietary needs, and overall well-being was impressive. We have never left Gunner with anyone outside of family so we were very nervous to leave him, however when we met Sylvia we immediately felt calm and connected through our love for our pets. Leaving Gunner in the care of a stranger required a high level of trust and Sylvia exceeded our expectations. We know Gunner was receiving the love and physical care he needed during our absence. We have now left Gunner multiple times with Sylvia and have always had an exceptional experience. If you need someone to watch your pet, look no further and use Sylvia, she is truly the best!

Sylvia is the best! It’s so hard finding the right sitter but I know Sylvia truly treats our dog like her own. Our dog Honey loves going over to her house and playing with her 2 dogs. She’s great about sending photos/updates. I know Honey is in good hands with her and I don’t have to worry. Can’t recommend her enough :)

Sylvia is a wonderful pet sitter. If you’re like me and a worry wort about your precious fur baby, Sylvia is the person to leave your baby with. She cares for them like her own, gives frequent updates (with photos!), asks questions to better the care for your pet, and even bakes homemade treats. No need to look any further, Sylvia is the person to book with!

Sylvia is, without a doubt, one of the most caring people I know. Her love for animals is second to none. I have seen her interact with her own dogs, and I see nothing but pure joy in her dog's eyes. Her dogs are like her kids, and her kids are happy she is their mom. Sylvia also makes a mean dog biscuit; ask my dog, Jasper. I thought I was doing a good thing when I gave Jasper what I thought was a nice store-bought dog treat to enjoy. Well, I learned when I gave Jasper one of Sylvia's pumpkin-flavored dog treats I should have just saved my money. Nothing compares to a freshly baked dog treat that not only had pumpkin in it but a lot of love. I got a little respect back from Jasper when I bought him some cool-looking sweaters. But still, nothing compared to Sylvia's treats. If you want or need to board your dog, and you want your dog to be treated as if they were part of the family. Then you should leave your dog with Sylvia. If you want your dog to feel like they are on a luxurious vacation while you are away, then you should leave your dog with Sylvia. If you want your dog to be well taken care of, then leave your dog with Sylvia. If those things are not important to you, then leave your dog with someone else.

I have two well-trained English Labradors. The pets are generally outside in a paved and enclosed section of the yard when I step away or if I can't keep my eyes on them. I have multiple potty locations designated throughout the yard. When I am home, the pets are free to come in and out of the house through a doggy door.
