Information Sylvia W. would like to know about your pet

I have experience caring for senior dogs and can accommodate any special requirements. If your dog is nervous, let me know what helps them feel at ease. If they prefer to avoid other dogs, just give me a heads-up, and I’ll adjust walks accordingly. My approach is always to ensure they feel safe and well cared for.

A typical day

When I meet a dog for the first time, I take time to understand their personality and what they enjoy. Once they’re comfortable, we head out for a walk, giving them space to explore and interact. If they’re up for it, we visit a local park for some exercise, whether that’s a game of fetch or just a chance to stretch their legs. My goal is to keep them engaged, active, and content.

Pet care experience

I’m a calm and caring pet sitter with experience looking after both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for my mum’s Bichon Frisés since they were puppies, and growing up, I had a Yorkshire Terrier-Dachshund mix and a Turkish Angora cat. I’m comfortable handling different pet personalities and adapting to their needs. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs when needed. My focus is on providing a familiar and reassuring environment while their owners are away.

Sylvia is a great sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough. Albie has been going to Sylvia regularly for the past year and he is always happy to go. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Albie over the last year. It has been so good to know that he is always safe and happy with you. We’re going to miss you.

Dilla has stayed a few times with Sylvia now, but on this occasion over night for the first time. Sylvia as always was very accommodating, lots of walks and play time and kept us updated. Thanks so much!
