Highlights
Pet care experience
Over 50 000 miles with dogs
About me I gained my experience volunteering for shelters and a couple of rescue organizations. I have walked, fed, pampered and loved dogs around the world. I love the tails' wagging, the barking, the digging, the sniffing, the chasing, the licking, the doggie business. My 5-year-old son suspects I was a dog in my previous life. He might be right. Walking, walking, walking... I walk. A lot. I can take your dog for more challenging hike, with tons of exercise or, if your furry friend is a couch potato, I will take him/her for an easy walk around a neighborhood. I can do group walks (up to 3 dogs) or individual walks. Dog Boarding and day-care I always welcome pets at our house. My dog, River, is super friendly and always happy to share her space. My house is big enough to provide separate space if your dog doesn't particularly like to be bothered and need some privacy. When pet sitting or boarding I can work with a dog on the basic obedience commands, play or just let him/her be (depending on a dog personality). Pet sitting and visits I will make sure your friend is fed, walked and happy. If your pet need companion, I will be there for him/her making sure he/she is safe and in a good spirit. Before booking I would love to chat with you to make sure your dog's needs and your expectations are being met. I would like to know, as much as possible, about your dog's likes and dislike, personality, routines, safety issue and special needs. I would like to set meet and greet at my home before day-care or boarding service. Important note: I am not full time at home. I am preschool teacher and drop offs and pick ups needs to happen early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter.

Ratings and reviews
Sylwia took wonderful care of our dog Darcy, she sent lots of photos and videos and our puppy had the best time. She clearly loves dogs and is very experienced taking care of them.
Sylvia was truly the ultimate host! This was our Gracie girl’s very first time with a dog sitter, and we could immediately tell she felt completely at home. Sylvia is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a natural understanding of dogs. Her dog River was the perfect “big sister” for Gracie—they got along so well, and it made the whole experience even more comforting for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and would absolutely recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy sitter.
Sylwia and Doug were beyond great. We felt so at ease our entire trip knowing he was being looked after by them. Our dog can be a little anxious at first, and Sylwia picked right up on that and helped him feel comfortable. We loved the daily pictures, and will use them again in the future! Highly recommend.
Our dogs had a great time & we really felt comfortable with them staying over for the weekend. Our little sheltie who is sometimes slow to warm up was a big fan! It’s such a comfort to have someone you can trust with your four legged family members. Thank you!
Taj had a great time with Silwia and Doug. He came back relaxed and happy!
Sylwia and family took great care of our dog while we were away for a week and provided daily updates! We would definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I have fence yard and my dog will be happy to keep your furry baby company. It is a "family style" boarding. Our guests hung out with us, play with us and are allowed on furniture.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs love to play at our backyard all the time, chasing the ball, running around or sniffing. Once a day I take them for a long walk either in a woods near my house or in the neighborhood.
