Loving care when you can’t be there

Hi, I’m Sylvie! I’m a natural caregiver and lifelong animal lover. I completely understand how important it is to feel at ease when you leave your furry family member in someone else’s care—because they’re family, not “just a pet.” My goal is simple: for them to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home. I’m respectful, trustworthy, and very mindful of your home. I treat it like a sanctuary and take pride in leaving it just as I found it. I like to think of their time with me as a little vacation—with extra walks, plenty of cuddle time, attention to their unique personality and quirks, and lots of love. I take the time to get to know what makes each one happy, what they’re comfortable with, and what makes them special. I usually figure out pretty quickly who’s really the boss! 😊 I’m also big on communication. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing how things are going while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, easy to talk to, and who will genuinely care for your furry family member like family, I’d love to help.

Joanna did a wonderful job walking my Elvis! He can be difficult to walk sometimes, but she didnt make it seem it was a hassle at all! Elvis came back with a big smile and laid down for the rest of the day! Thank you!

She was wonderful. My dog is 14 years old and very hard to get close to. She let me know how things were going through the week, sent me videos. Made me feel at ease that he was home and being taken care of. She did a wonderful job..

Sylvie did a great job taking care of my dogs and my house while I was away! You can tell she definitely cares a lot and wants to ensure your dogs have an enjoyable time! She provided a ton of updates and I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands!

After a year and a half of disasters when our pet sitter retired, we finally had a vacation where the dogs were spoiled and taken care of. The stress relief of knowing meds were given, play time was had, and snuggles were given, I only hope Sylvia will take on our crew of 4 legged family members again. She will never know the relief she gave us, as they are our family.

Schedule

When I’m not caring for pets, I’m usually outside somewhere. I love nature hiking, exploring new trails, and especially being near water. A stream in the mountains, a lake, or the ocean… that’s my happy place. I also love to cook and enjoy cozy family dinners, quiet evenings, and the simple, peaceful things in life. I’m a very down-to-earth person, and caring for animals comes naturally to me.
