Paw-sitively Great Petsitting!

Pet care experience

Snuggles for your pet are a daily guarantee as well as some time to reinforce training and maybe learn a new trick! Does your dog have any special needs, medicines or routines? I can keep up with those while you're away and make sure they're in paw-sitively the best health. I am a seasoned veteran of dog and cat care. I have owned dogs and cats in the past, and volunteered every weekend for two years at dog shelters in New York, working with bully breeds, puppies, abused dogs, dogs with medical needs and almost every situation you could imagine. I've been sitting in the DC area for the past 5 years and I've had the best time getting to know some wonderful pups! I guarantee you will have peace of mind while your best friend is in my care. Whether your best friend is five pounds or fifty, they will all have a blast! I have a car and I am accepting clients that are in the Alexandria area as of July 2018!

Sydny was able to cope with my pup's long list of medications, prescription foods and anxieties. Plus, just in time for my trip, my dog had to start wearing a cone. Syd took it all in stride and was even able to deal with my red-eye coming in an hour early, shifting all plans from o'dark thirty to o'darker thirty. I got lots of pics and a video. Will definitely have Syd watch my pup again soon. Thank you Syd, you are a lifesaver!

It was such a relief knowing Sunny was with someone like Sydny. She is responsible and attentive and communicated with us on a daily basis. She was wonderful!

Sydny was the "dog whisperer'!!! Sydny helped us with Lisl when we had to go out of town for a couple of nights. Sydny came by twice before we left, got to know Lisl a little bit, and stayed with Lisl when we were away. Lisl is a new dog to our family (a rescue dog) and has fear/anxiety issues. She warmed up quickly to Sydny as evident by the texts/photos Sydny sent us. We felt confident she was in good hands, and came back to a happy dog!

Sydny was super friendly as one of our dogs is very people shy and its hard to get him to come around, but by the end of the meet and greet he was licking her hand. During the stay she kept us updated with pictures about what they were up to. Felt safe with her in our home with our little fur babies. Princeton and Harper give her two paws up!

Information Syd J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have any possessive ticks, or if they are unfriendly to other dogs or certain types of people or things (balloons, hoodies, boots etc.). I would like to know if they have any special needs such as medication or bed-time ritual.

A typical day

I will walk on paths that you are comfortable with, I won't push your pup to go anywhere they don't want to go. If there's anywhere they love to go, but you don't want them to, we will definitely avoid that! If there's a park they like to go to, I can run around with them and am a great tug-o-war teammate.
