Sylvia is terrific! She took great care of our dogs while we were away. They typically limit their interactions with people when we aren't around, but they really like Sylvia and interacted a lot with her. So grateful for her care of our dogs. Highly recommend her to others

I was very nervous about hiring a pet sitter because I've been lucky enough to have a mom who always helped out with Matilda. I am glad I listened to my friends who recommended this service. Sylvia was very communicative and thoughtful. She asked questions and gave me updates while I was at a work conference. I did not worry about Matilda at all and I felt very comfortable having Sylvia stay in my home. I would recommend this service and Sylvia to anyone.

Sylvia is very good with our pup. She was gentle and took the time to get to know her and spent some extra time to sit with her during her dog walking. Happy to use Sylvia again!

Sylvia stayed at our home with our dog when we left town for a few days. She was wonderful with Orion and took such good care of our home. We are thankful for her!

Schedule

I am currently working, and on some evenings, I enjoy my time with my friends two Dachshunds after work by walking them by myself in the Kings Contrivance neighborhood. We walk them on weekends together at local parks. The two dachshunds are not always available so I would love to do some clients dog care for hire. And I loved spending a whole day with many dogs at a friends house who has a dog boarding business.
