Pet care experience

❤️ Sylvie’s Den ❤️

I am very grateful to have been able to do what I love, caring for dogs, for over 30 years, 11 years through Rover and 20 years through word of mouth recommendations! What a privilege it is to be entrusted with the care of your beloved companion. Dogs lighten up my heart like nothing else does. They honor me with their trust and unconditional love. They are all precious to me. I can’t wait to meet yours ❤️🐾 My home is located on a quiet street in the West Rosemont Area. I am home 24/7 except for the occasional trips to the grocery stores. I provide a SAFE, CLEAN, PEACEFUL, FUN and escape-proof environment. Your pooch will have loving caring company, fun times and comfortable quiet moments in the safety of my den. Some of my favorite things are: art painting, playing, snuggling with the dogs and gardening so when weather permits we are outside a lot where the pooches have several lounging areas and space to play and run in a spacious well shaded courtyard. I have great respect for each individual dog’s personality and specific needs to insure their comfort. I very much enjoy socializing small and medium size breed puppies. I give constant supervision, balanced play and rest time according to their age. I started my career as a FULL TIME pet-sitter through word of mouth in 2006 in Newport Beach, California. I started grooming dogs in 1992 in my hometown Montreal, Quebec. Overall, I passionately dedicated my life to caring for dogs for 33 years! And I still love it like the first day! 🐾 Dogs are never left outside without supervision 🐾 I always send photos and videos so you can have peace of mind 🐾 Senior’s comfort is paramount to me. I have 2 communicating large sunrooms, one with its private enclosed porch is often dedicated to seniors so they can have plenty of space to walk around or sleep in peace. 🐾 I provide privacy for your fur baby at meal time. Your pooch will not be fed any food that is not ok with you. 🐾 Filtered water is always provided indoor and outdoor. 🐾 I attended a class and received certification with the Red Cross for dog CPR 🐾 I volunteered for a year at the Hemopet Greyhound Rescue Center 🐾 My home is alcohol, drug and cigarette free Contact me to schedule a Meet & Greet.🐾 🐾🐾I retire early so if you contact me after 9pm I will reply the next morning.🐾

Sylvie was fantastic! She was able to take my two week booking on short notice after my regular sitter canceled and I'm going to make Sylvie my new go-to sitter. She was super patient with my nervous dog and got my baby comfortable with her home and her dog very smoothly. She was also very understanding when my return flight was delayed and I couldn't get my dog until the next day.

Sylvie did a wonderful job watching our dog while my family and I went out of town. She truly cares so much for all of the dogs she takes care of. She sends updates and communicates very quickly if you have any questions!

Sylvie was great🩷 She sent us reports of our dogs everyday with pictures and videos, they looked very happy in her place. She is helping us to socialize our puppies and we are very grateful.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play tag-of-war, catch the ball or chase the squeesquee. I always supervise the dogs when they play together. For some dogs cuddling is all they want.

16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Sylvie can host up to 2 pets per night
Communication is key. I am very good at following written instructions. Let me know of any health condition like seizure, allergies, separation anxiety, food restrictions. Has your dog been socialized already or will it be his or her first time with other dogs?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
