About Sylvia

I have always been surrounded by a diverse array of animals, ranging from iguanas and turtles to hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, and even squirrels. Animals have been my constant companions and my sanctuary since childhood, shaping the person I am today. Their unconditional love and companionship have been my lifeline, inspiring me to dedicate myself to their well-being. 

My life has been dedicated to caring for animals since my earliest memories. My first experience with rehabilitation began with a horse who had suffered abuse. Through patience, compassion, and dedicated care, I helped her recover and blossom into a confident and affectionate animal. These experiences are the motivation to pursue formal professional experience in Veterinary Medicine. 

My journey continued as I acquired my current horse as a six-year-old and undertook the responsibility of training her for show jumping competitions. Every aspect of her care, from medical treatments like injections, salt, and clay wraps to therapeutic massages, is diligently tended to with my full oversight. 

The loss of my beloved dog a year ago profoundly impacted me. Throughout her illness, I provided unwavering support and comfort, ensuring she received all necessary care until her end. Her passing reinforced my perspective and commitment to honor animals' unwavering loyalty and enrich their lives in return. 

It is this profound sense of gratitude and purpose that fuels my aspiration to work within the animal field, where I am eager to leverage my compassion, dedication, and experience to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals in our care.

Since moving to Australia, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of pets, from dog walking in Melbourne to cat sitting and even caring for parrots. I’m excited to continue offering my services here in Sydney, whether it’s dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting. No matter the task, I’m eager to care for your furry babies and ensure they feel loved and happy while you’re away.

Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I’m open to taking on any pet-sitting tasks that will allow me to spend more time with animals—after all, that's when I’m truly happiest!
