Reliable W&M student, great rates!
Pet care experience
Throughout high school, I worked at a dog shelter called Houlagans' Rest, which took dogs off the kill line at other shelters and aimed to make them adoptable. Thanks to this shelter, I am trained to work with shy, skittish, food-aggressive, and dog-aggressive dogs. I can read dogs' body language and know how to comfort and soothe them while avoiding bad situations both in the home and out with other dogs. Furthermore, I live in a quiet home with no pets, so any dog is welcome! I live right beside Colonial Williamsburg and the neighborhood is very beautiful with plenty of grass and trees. That being said, I'm also more than happy to spend time with your dog in your home so they have all the comforts of a familiar environment while you are away. This tends to minimize separation anxiety in dogs who are prone to it. I can walk your dog as frequently as they would like, at their pace, and am equipped to administer any necessary medications. I know it can be a stressful and nerve-wracking experience to leave your beloved pets, but I aim to make it a painless and fun experience for both of you!
Reviews
Sydney watched our two Shih Tzus Daisy and spike while we were enjoying a few days at Great Wolf Lodge and Bush Gardens. She was amazing with both of them. She kept us in the loop on how they were doing by sending pictures. Our pups clearly enjoyed their vacation as well. We highly recommend Sydney and will definitely use her services again!! ??
Sydney was exactly what we were looking for. She is very warm and caring. Kept us updated daily. She is coneviently located in Colonial Williamsburg. We will definetly use her on our next visit.
Couldnt ask for a better pupsitter! Sidney was excellent with my two dogs. She took care of them and paid attention to their needs in the same way as if they were with me. She was constantly providing me updates and both Jojo and Krypto loved her as well. I will def book her again when im back in the area!
Attentive, Flexible, Fun... the boarding experience was excellent in every way. I can't recommend Sydney highly enough.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know potential aggression triggers (i.e. do they food/toy guard, are they ok meeting other dogs) and any body language you know is unique to them. Please also provide your dog's veterinary information in case of an emergency. Also, I would like to know their favorite activities, dietary needs, any potential medical concerns, and what toys they like best! :)
A typical day
I love going on long walks in areas new to your dog so they get to explore and smell new things. I also love playing games like tug of war and fetch, working on training/commands, just plain old snuggling! If your dog comes to stay with me, I live right next to Colonial Williamsburg and like to walk up and down Dog Street. If your dog is a social butterfly, many other owners bring their leashed dogs on walks through this area!
