My cats are a bit skittish around new animals, so I wouldn’t like to put them through any distress by bringing in unknown animals. I would love to care for pets in a clients home though! I can be a bit of a neat freak especially when it comes to other peoples homes, so coming home to a messy house is completely out of the question! I have also pet sat for multiple neighbors and family friends. I’d like to believe that if there was a review system with them I’d get 5 stars!!

Information Sylvie would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs to attend to, their eating schedule and preferred food, any medication information, and anything else that you may find to be important for your doggy!

A typical day

The typical day really depends on the dog! Whether it’s running around at the dog park for hours or simply relaxing in the park, I am all in! Meeting your dogs needs and doing it well is the goal.

Pets

Animals are family, not just pets!!

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover for my whole life and have had pets ranging from small tree frogs to hyperactive labradors! I currently have two cats named Fancy and Mittens and an elderly special-needs dog named Coco. I’m pursuing my real estate license and a business degree at the moment, but in my free time I like to volunteer for any opportunity within my grasp (especially if it involves animals :)

I have a sweet elderly corgi who is so loving and alive but the poor things back legs don’t work so my family and I are very cautious with who we allow to pet sit when we go out of town. We were a bit nervous of the idea of a teenage girl watching our baby but wow oh wow did Sylvie exceeded all of our expectations! We’ve had a fair amount of dog sitter and sylvie is 100% top three. She took such wonderful care of our dog Caleb and when we can back Caleb was as joyful as ever. Very very sweet girl and she takes amazing attention to detail. She even left a a box of treats for us to give to Caleb. Would recommend her any day!

Sylvie watched my 2 Cats, Nini and Bean, when I was in a vacation with my family. I gave her very few instructions but she went above and beyond in taking care of them. I told her she could Just feed them then leave, but she went the extra mile and stayed with them, played with them, and even tried teaching them some tricks with toys and treats that she brought herself. I would 100% recommend her over anyone else.
