I grew up in a house with a big yard and many dogs, big and small. At one time, we had as many as 6 dogs (excluding the puppies!). I have experience caring for and training dogs to follow simple commands like, sit, stay, come, shake hands, and down. Over the decades, I have had the privilege of owning dog breeds such as Dobermann, Boxer, Dachshund, Alsatian, Samoyed, Beagle, and local dogs of course! I've learnt that every dog, regardless of its breed, has its own personality and temperament and likewise, should be treated in a unique way.
My favourite dog, Gigi, always had a litter of 4 - 2 males and 2 females. She was a wonderful mommy who always ensured that her pups' needs were cared for before her own. She never left their side! Similarly, when it was time for me to move to the city to work, I made sure to have her by my side.
I have always loved animals and I'd like to think they love me too. Now that I am retired, I spend time doing the things I love - travelling, hiking and cooking. I enjoy pet-sitting as well, because they bring me joy! In the past I have pet-sat for cats, fishes, turtles and dogs.
I can't wait to meet you and your pet!

Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.

We are immensely grateful to Sylvia for taking very good care of our dog Ash for two nights and hope she can come back soon.
So grateful for Sylvia's help in taking care of our senior golden. Due to recent health issues and an onset of seizures we don't leave our dog alone at all, and thanks to Sylvia's generosity and help we were able to go stress-free for an evening out, something that's quite precious for us these days. She was super easy to communicate with, very thoughtful and conscientious, thorough in asking questions to ensure she knew how to handle our dog should she have a seizure and most importantly so warm and kind through the whole process - telling us to take as long as we wanted to be out. Will definitely look forward to having her take care of our dog again!
