Pet care experience

Reliable care

I am new to Rover, but not new to pet care! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have become a frequent sitter for animals in my social circle. I've cared for pets across a range of sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages. I used to work as a volunteer and foster through Michigan Humane, and have experience with lots of different pets and situations. I currently live with a 3-year-old Lab mix and a 14-year-old Shiba Inu. Please reach out if there is anything in particular you want to discuss in advance!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet is in my care I treat them like they are my own. I love getting to know their quirks and if you have any specific routines for them that I can help maintain while you’re away!

Sylvie was great taking care of our 4 cats and fish while we were away for over a week. I left a long and detailed instruction list and she had no problem following it to a T. Although our cats are typically shy, one of our boys took a liking to her as shown in the pictures at each visit. I highly recommend Sylvie to care for your pets!

Sylvie was amazing with our 3 animals! She even did a meet-and-greet before we left on our trip so that the animals could get to know her and make sure it went okay. Sylvie took great care of our babies, the house, and we had zero worries while we were away cause we knew they were in good hands. Would highly recommend Sylvie to care for your critters and we will definitely book with her again!

Sylvie made time to do a trial overnight with our nervous pup and she did great with him! Highly recommend her if you are searching for a reliable pet sitter you can trust.

Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am available for walks and drop-ins on most days between 8am - 4pm. My calendar reflects my availability during that timeframe. I can accommodate most sitting requests if your pet can be left alone for brief periods. (If you are looking for evening care on a day marked unavailable, please feel free to get in touch, as I am often available after 5pm on those days, but the app doesn’t allow the calendar to reflect this).

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sylvie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I appreciate a heads up if your pet has any known triggers or strong feelings/reactions to anything in particular, whether in your home or out on walks.
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.
