Dogs need a vacation, too!

Pet care experience

Hi, and thank you for your interest! I love all animals, but I have been a dog person my whole life. I will treat your dog like my own, if not better. I have structured but gentle approach using positive reinforcement technique. I’m home full time! I volunteered at the Hinsdale Humane Society where I learned trick, or two :) I’m an experienced dog walker, I’m able to handle large, and multiple dogs. I’m very dependable and timely.

Sylvie does great with our dogs. It is clear they enjoy their time with her, and we never have to worry that they are well taken care of.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Sylvie. She welcomed my baby, Wally, with open arms, top care, patience and love. I appreciate the updates which she provided about everything, truly easing my mind. I never had to question anything throughout his stay because she kept me in the loop. The setup, the exposure and social interaction Wally had is exactly what he needed. So much, I know he’ll miss everyone. Sylvie’s warm spirit is what also let me know I was making the right decision. Again, I truly appreciate this experience. I’m sure Wally does too ❤️. Thank you sooo much!!

Sylvie is truly a 5 Star sitter! Our pups enjoyed their 11 day vacation with Sylvie and her dogs and chickens! Sylvie took excellent care of our babies. Lots of exercise and plenty of love and attention. We've been back 2 days and our pups are still tired. We will definitely use Sylvie"s services again. Thank you, Sylvie. You're the best! 💞

I have a 1/2 acre of fenced yard, plenty of green grass to run and play. Our lawn is all organic, grass is cut short, and we don’t use any herbicides or pesticides. I pick up daily! For added safety, we have several security cameras, and motion activated lights outside. I will keep you updated and will send you photos/videos. Our home is clean, calm, and quiet environment. I only board 3 dogs at the time, 4 if from the same household. Your dog will be getting a lot of attention.

Information Sylvie R. would like to know about your pet

Your animal safely is my number one concern. Your dog’s vaccinations must be up to date. Prior to service, I would like to know about any health and/or behavioral issues, or concerns. Honesty is the best policy, I do work with difficult cases.

A typical day

It’s all about fun around here! I play fetch with them and encourage them to run around, to get rid of any excess energy. Low energy dogs love to sniff around, relax, sunbathe, or watch TV here. I do use treats as a reward unless instructed otherwise.
