Hello!
I'm Sydney and I love all animals! When I was younger I had a dog and 2 bunnies. As I was growing up I had 2 hamsters and now I have 2 beautiful healthy little kitties. I've never been a paid pet-sitter but as a nanny for kids, I do take care of my family's pets as well.

As I went into adulthood, I took a step back from dog sitting (but stuck to doing it for friends instead) due to joining the workforce. However, I'm now a stay at home mom, and would love to...
